GoHACCP vs Paddl: what matters most
Last reviewed: 11 September 2026
Manufacturing certification versus hospitality inspection
GoHACCP is built for producers working towards SQF, BRCGS or FSSC 22000, with consultants on hand. Paddl is built for restaurants, pubs, cafes and hotels facing an EHO inspection: SFBB, the FHRS, Natasha's Law, COSHH and the audit pack.
Consultant versus AI
GoHACCP pairs software with consulting to write the plan. Paddl drafts the HACCP plan from your menu, chemicals and equipment and you review it; no consultant is needed for a kitchen.
Scope
GoHACCP is a HACCP and certification tool. Paddl adds the operational side: routines, rota, equipment, licences, insurance, complaints.

Screenshots of the Paddl features the grid marks as missing or partial in GoHACCP.
Shift handovers and end-of-day reports
Paddl AdvantageStaff submit an end-of-day report with urgent actions, stock shortages and equipment problems. The incoming shift acknowledges the handover before starting.
Push notifications to staff on shift
Paddl AdvantageTemperature alerts, handover submissions and maintenance updates go to the people checked in that day, not the whole team.
EHO visit view
Paddl AdvantageOne screen with everything an inspector asks for: SFBB pack, delivery records, temperature logs and training certificates.
Equipment records with AI health checks
Paddl AdvantageEvery fridge, oven and extractor with its service history and temperature logs. The AI flags a unit whose readings are drifting before it fails.
Allergen lookup during service
Paddl AdvantageStaff search the menu by allergen from a phone in the middle of service, no folder to find.
Report a fault from the app
Paddl AdvantageStaff log a breakdown or a safety concern with a photo and a priority, and the manager sees it the moment it is raised.
AI HACCP plan generation
Paddl AdvantageThe AI reads your business, routines, equipment and menu, then drafts a complete HACCP plan with process steps and critical control points for you to review.
Ask Paddy: AI that does the admin
Paddl AdvantageAsk Paddy books the contractor visit, builds the routine, drafts the risk assessment and gathers the inspection pack. You confirm every action, and it never fills in or signs a compliance record.
Manager view in the mobile app
Paddl AdvantageManagers switch to an admin view on their phone: team progress, compliance status, recent activity and SFBB state across every site.
AI insurance gap detection
Paddl AdvantageUpload the policy documents and the AI reads the cover, lists the gaps and says what to ask the broker.
