All Gravy vs Paddl: what matters most

Last reviewed: 22 September 2026

Two team chats, different centres of gravity

All Gravy starts from communications and adds training, tasks and engagement around it. Paddl starts from the compliance and operations records and puts chat inside them: channels built from the rota, open shifts claimed in the thread, a photo turned into a maintenance job, broadcasts with acknowledgement reports for the allergen change an EHO may ask about.

Modules versus one plan

Above fifty people All Gravy is priced as modules multiplied by seats, so the bill grows with both. Paddl is one plan per location with every feature, and staff seats are free.

Where All Gravy wins

Engagement: surveys, recognition, a social feed and an anonymous whistleblowing channel, with training content built for hospitality. If you are buying an employee experience app rather than a compliance system, it is the deeper product.

Who should choose All Gravy, and who should choose Paddl

Choose All Gravy if

  • Staff communications, training and engagement are the whole brief
  • You already have food safety and a rota elsewhere and want them left alone
  • Whistleblowing and recognition modules matter to you

Choose Paddl if

  • You want the chat and the compliance records in one place
  • SFBB, HACCP, allergens, temperatures and the EHO pack are requirements
  • The rota, hours and holiday should sit next to the chat
  • You would rather pay per location than per module per seat

Switching from All Gravy to Paddl

  • Team chat with channels built from the rota, broadcasts that ask for acknowledgement and open shifts claimed in the thread
  • The food safety records All Gravy does not hold: SFBB, HACCP, allergens, temperatures, the EHO pack
  • The rota, hours, holiday and timesheets
  • One plan per location with staff seats free, rather than modules multiplied by seats

A week, run in parallel: staff and sites first, then move the chat channel by channel.

How the switch works

  1. Import staff and set roles per site in Paddl
  2. Publish next week's rota so the site and group channels build themselves
  3. Send the first broadcast from Paddl and point people at the app
  4. Upload the menu and documents for the compliance records
  5. Retire the All Gravy modules you are no longer using

What you keep

  • Group chat, broadcasts and direct messages
  • Training records and onboarding
  • Documents with e-signature

What you give up

  • Surveys, recognition and the social feed
  • The anonymous whistleblowing channel

All Gravy comparison questions

How much does All Gravy cost?

Its pricing page publishes $375 a month for teams under 50 with every module included, and modules multiplied by seats for 50 and over. Paddl is £69 a location a month with every feature, and staff seats are free.

Does All Gravy do food safety?

No. It holds documents, checklists and audits, but there is no SFBB pack, HACCP plan, allergen matrix, temperature record or EHO audit pack. UK food businesses run it alongside a food safety system.

Can I use All Gravy and Paddl together?

Yes, and some groups do: All Gravy for engagement and training content, Paddl for the records, the rota and the EHO pack. There is no data link between them, so staff lists are maintained in both. If the point of the staff app is the chat, Paddl now has that too.
