## Choose GoHACCP if

- You are a food manufacturer needing SQF/BRCGS certification
- Manufacturing compliance is your focus
- You want combined software and consulting

## Choose Paddl if

- You run a hospitality business (restaurant, hotel, pub)
- UK SFBB compliance and EHO preparation are essential
- AI-powered HACCP generation saves time
- Team, equipment, complaints, and shift handovers matter

## What matters most

**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.

## Switching from GoHACCP to Paddl

- A HACCP plan drafted from your own menu and chemicals, linked to the daily checks
- SFBB, allergens, COSHH and the EHO audit pack alongside it
- A published price with no consultancy days
- Routines, rota and equipment in the same product

A day for a single site.

### How the switch works

1. Export the existing HACCP plan and records
2. Upload them to Paddl documents
3. Upload the menu, chemicals and equipment; review the AI-drafted plan
4. Link each CCP to a routine check
5. Publish and run the audit pack

What you keep: Your existing hazard analysis as a reference document
What you give up: GoHACCP consulting; SQF and BRCGS certification templates
