Pricing page: https://paddl-ai.co/pricing ## Questions **Is there a free food safety app?** Not a free tier: Paddl is £69 per location per month with every feature, after a 30-day free trial that needs a card on file and charges nothing until it ends. Free apps tend to cover the diary only; the EHO will also ask for the HACCP plan, allergen records and training evidence, which is where the paid apps earn their keep. **Does the food safety app work offline?** Yes. Records save on the phone and sync when the signal returns, so a walk-in freezer or a basement kitchen does not lose a temperature log. Shared tablets log out between users so every entry carries the right name. **Do EHOs accept records kept on an app?** Yes. Environmental health officers accept digital records and many prefer them, because each entry is timestamped and signed. During a visit, the EHO view pulls the SFBB diary, temperature logs, cleaning records and training certificates into one screen. **Food safety app or food hygiene app: is there a difference?** No. They are two names for the same category, and "HACCP app" is a third: software that replaces the paper diary with checks, temperatures and records on a phone. What varies is depth. A diary-only app covers the SFBB pack; Paddl adds the HACCP plan, allergen matrix, COSHH, training records and the audit pack, on one price per location. **What does the app do beyond food safety?** GPS check-in and check-out that feed the rota and timesheets, shift swaps, training modules, quick fault and incident reports, and Ask Paddy for answers from your own SOPs. It is the one app the team opens for the day, not a second login. **Which phones does it run on?** iOS and Android, as native apps from the App Store and Google Play, plus the web dashboard for managers. Staff sign in with biometrics on their own phone or a PIN on a shared tablet. ## Related - [Best Food Safety Apps UK (2026): 9 Compared on Price](https://paddl-ai.co/best/best-food-safety-apps-uk) - [Paddl vs Trail](https://paddl-ai.co/compare/trail) - [Paddl vs FoodDocs](https://paddl-ai.co/compare/fooddocs) - [Paddl vs Leafe](https://paddl-ai.co/compare/leafe) - [Checklist app](https://paddl-ai.co/features/routines): Paddl's checklist app schedules opening, closing, cleaning and temperature routines by shift and role, has staff complete them on a phone with timestamps, readings and photos, and shows a manager what was missed, late or done across every site. - [Digital SFBB app](https://paddl-ai.co/features/sfbb): Paddl's digital SFBB app builds the FSA-format Safer Food Better Business pack from your menu and the paperwork you already have, writes the safe methods, runs the daily diary and the four-weekly review on a phone, and exports the whole pack for an EHO. - [HACCP software](https://paddl-ai.co/features/haccp): Paddl's HACCP software builds a HACCP plan for a UK hospitality kitchen from its menu, chemicals and equipment, covers all seven principles, links each critical control point to a routine check, and exports the plan and its monitoring records as an EHO-ready PDF. - [Staff rota software](https://paddl-ai.co/features/rota): Paddl's staff rota software builds the week against a demand band drawn from up to thirteen weeks of Square takings, warns before you publish if someone is untrained or over hours, takes the hours from staff check-ins, works out holiday, and exports to payroll. - [Staff training software](https://paddl-ai.co/features/training): Paddl's staff training software delivers scenario-based food safety, allergen, fire and COSHH modules on the app, issues verifiable certificates, holds external certificates such as Level 2 food hygiene against each person, and shows a compliance matrix of who is trained on what and when it is due. - [AI assistant](https://paddl-ai.co/features/ai-assistant): Ask Paddy is the AI assistant inside Paddl.
