FoodSafety HQ vs Traceo

FoodSafety HQ is digital food-safety software for Australian hospitality businesses, replacing paper logbooks with checks and council-ready records. It supports cafes, restaurants, bistros, food trucks, fast food, QSR, bakeries, aged care, NDIS and childcare. The service runs on Android, iOS and web, and staff can complete checks offline before records sync when connectivity returns. Tools cover temperature monitoring, cleaning records with photo proof, delivery checks, PEAL allergen management, corrective actions, training, supplier and recall registers, pest logs, SDS registers, waste tracking and audit reports. It aligns with the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, including Standards 3.2.2A and 1.2.3. PEAL tools cover all 14 FSANZ allergens on every plan. No probes, sensors, gateways or other hardware are required. Operators can manage multiple venues from one dashboard, compare compliance and assign role-based access. Plans bill monthly, include a 14-day trial and have no lock-in contract. Starter costs A$29 a month for one venue and up to 10 users; Professional is A$49 a month; Enterprise is A$39 a month for at least 10 venues and unlimited users.

Traceo centralizes food-safety records and workflows for restaurants, bakeries, catering teams and other food businesses. It covers delivery checks, food traceability, temperature records, cleaning plans, labeling and record exports. Delivery entries can include supplier details, temperatures, product condition, documents, photos and a decision. For traceability, the app proposes product, batch and date details from label photos, which users review and correct before saving. Temperature records can come from connected sensors with configurable alerts or from manual entry. Teams can assign cleaning tasks by zone, include instructions and products, and keep timestamped completion records with photos. Quick Print prepares labels from product or traceability records for a configured thermal printer. Traceo is available on Android, iOS and web, with offline mobile access and multi-location support. Its free plan covers one establishment and up to 50 HACCP records per month. Traceo says it supports record keeping and configured workflows but does not guarantee HACCP compliance; each food business remains responsible for its procedures and requirements.
