Paddl covers food safety, compliance and operations. It runs alongside your till, rota or payroll platform and training provider. Square is the only live data connection today.

## In one sentence

Paddl is food safety, compliance and operations software for UK hospitality: digital SFBB, HACCP plans, allergens and Natasha's Law labels, temperature, cleaning and training records, and an EHO-ready audit pack. £69 per location per month with every feature included, a 30-day free trial and no contract. Paddl covers food safety records, compliance documents and daily operations. It is not a till, a payroll system or a training course, so it runs next to the ones you already have. Square takings flow into Paddl today; everything else here runs side by side with separate logins and no data exchange.

## Questions

**Does Paddl replace my EPOS?**

No. Paddl does not take orders or payments. It holds the food safety checks, compliance documents, rota, equipment and contractor records that a till does not. Keep Square, Zettle, Epos Now, Lightspeed, Zonal, Kobas or Tevalis and run Paddl alongside.

**Which tools connect to Paddl today?**

Square is the only live data connection: daily takings feed the sales forecast and rota planning. Every other product on this page runs alongside Paddl with no data exchange. If you need a connection that is not here, ask on the integrations page and we will tell you honestly whether it is planned.

**Can I use Paddl with Fourth, Harri, Nory or All Gravy?**

Yes, side by side. Those platforms handle hiring, scheduling, payroll or staff communication for larger groups. Paddl adds the food safety and health and safety records, the EHO audit pack and per-site compliance dashboards. There is no data link between them, so staff lists are maintained in each.

**What happens to my iHASCO or High Speed Training certificates?**

Upload each certificate to the staff member in Paddl and it sits in their training record with an expiry reminder. Paddl does not sell courses and does not pull certificates automatically from a training provider; the record is yours to keep whichever provider you use.

**Does Paddl have its own rota?**

Yes. Paddl includes a per-site rota with timesheets and labour cost, so a small business does not need a separate rota tool. Groups already on Fourth, Harri, Deputy or RotaCloud can keep that rota and use Paddl for compliance only.
