HACCP plans that actually work
Paddl is AI-powered HACCP software that generates complete HACCP plans for UK hospitality businesses in 15 minutes. Our HACCP plan generator covers all 7 HACCP principles, links Critical Control Points to your live operational data, and replaces expensive consultants costing £1000+.
HACCP shouldn't cost a fortune or sit in a drawer
Traditional HACCP plans are expensive to create and impossible to maintain
HACCP consultants cost a fortune
Hiring a consultant to write a HACCP plan costs £500–2000 and takes weeks of back-and-forth. By the time it arrives, your operations have already changed.
Paper HACCP plans gather dust
Printed HACCP plans sit in binders, disconnected from daily operations. Without digital HACCP management software, the plan that cost you thousands has zero impact on how your kitchen actually runs.
No real CCP monitoring
HACCP critical control points exist on paper but are not linked to actual checks. Without CCP monitoring software, temperature logs happen separately, breaches go unrecorded, and your HACCP system is fiction.
Corrective actions undocumented
When a CCP limit is breached, staff act but nobody records what was done. UK HACCP compliance requires documented corrective actions, and when the EHO asks for evidence, you have nothing to show.
HACCP compliance that lives in your daily operations
Paddl generates your HACCP plan from the data you already have, then links every Critical Control Point to the tasks your staff already complete. No consultants, no paper plans, no extra work.
AI Plan Generation
Paddl generates a complete HACCP plan from your existing business context: SFBB data, routines, equipment, and menu. All 7 HACCP principles covered in 15 minutes, not weeks.
CCP-Routine Linking
Critical Control Points are automatically linked to your existing routine tasks. Fridge checks, cooking temps, hot holding — staff see CCP context on the tasks they already complete.
Live Compliance Dashboard
Real-time view of all 7 HACCP principles. See which CCPs are being monitored, which corrective actions are outstanding, and your overall plan health at a glance.
Auto Corrective Actions
When a CCP limit is breached — fridge above 8°C, cooking below 75°C — Paddl auto-creates a corrective action record. Staff document what they did without extra paperwork.
Staff CCP Context
Staff see why temperature checks matter, not just that they need to do them. Each task shows the CCP it monitors, the critical limits, and what to do if something is out of range.
EHO PDF Export
One-click export of your complete HACCP plan as a professional PDF. Process flow, CCP table, monitoring schedules, corrective action log, and review history — ready for any inspection.
Periodic Review Scheduling
Set review dates for your HACCP plan. Paddl reminds you when reviews are due and guides you through updating procedures when your operations change.
Staff Sign-off Workflow
Staff sign off on HACCP procedures and CCP responsibilities. Digital signatures create an audit trail proving your team understands the plan and their role in it.
What our customers achieve
Real improvements from hospitality businesses using Paddl for HACCP
How teams use HACCP management
New HACCP Plan Creation
A new restaurant needs a HACCP plan. Instead of hiring a consultant and waiting weeks, the manager generates one from their existing Paddl data in 15 minutes. Every CCP is linked to real monitoring tasks from day one.
CCP Breach Response
A fridge temperature reading exceeds 8°C during a routine check. Paddl automatically creates a corrective action record, the staff member documents what they did, and the whole incident is logged for EHO evidence.
EHO Inspection
The Environmental Health Officer asks to see your HACCP plan. One click exports a complete PDF with all 7 principles, monitoring schedules, recent CCP records, and corrective action history. No scrambling for paperwork.
Annual HACCP Review
Paddl reminds you when your HACCP plan review is due. The system highlights compliance data since the last review and guides you through updating your hazard analysis and CCPs.
AI-Generated HACCP Plans
The AI reads your business profile, menu data, equipment register, and existing routines to generate a HACCP plan tailored to your specific operation. Every hazard, CCP, and critical limit reflects what actually happens in your kitchen, not a generic template.
CCP Monitoring Linked to Routines
Each Critical Control Point in your HACCP plan is automatically linked to a daily monitoring routine. When staff complete their temperature checks or delivery inspections, the data feeds directly into your HACCP compliance records.
Corrective Action Documentation
When a CCP limit is breached, Paddl guides staff through the corrective action procedure. They record what happened, what they did, and upload photo evidence. The complete incident trail is stored for EHO review.
Multi-Location HACCP Management
Manage HACCP plans across multiple sites from one dashboard. Each location gets its own plan reflecting its specific menu and processes, while you maintain oversight of CCP compliance scores across all sites.

Frequently asked questions
What is HACCP and why do I need it?
HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) is a food safety management system required by UK law for food businesses. It identifies potential hazards in your food preparation process and establishes Critical Control Points where monitoring is essential. A proper HACCP plan demonstrates due diligence and is typically requested during EHO inspections.
How much does a HACCP consultant cost in the UK?
Traditional HACCP consultants typically charge between £500 and £2000 to create a HACCP plan for a hospitality venue. This process usually takes several weeks of back-and-forth. Paddl generates complete HACCP plans using AI for a fraction of the cost, in about 15 minutes.
What are the 7 principles of HACCP?
The 7 HACCP principles are: 1) Conduct a hazard analysis, 2) Identify Critical Control Points (CCPs), 3) Establish critical limits, 4) Establish monitoring procedures, 5) Establish corrective actions, 6) Establish verification procedures, and 7) Establish documentation. Paddl covers all 7 principles in every generated plan.
How does AI HACCP plan generation work?
Paddl uses AI to generate your HACCP plan from your existing business context: your SFBB data, routines, equipment, and menu information. The AI identifies hazards specific to your operation and creates appropriate CCPs linked to your actual monitoring tasks, ensuring your plan reflects reality rather than being a generic template.
Can I export my HACCP plan for EHO inspections?
Yes. Paddl provides one-click PDF export of your complete HACCP plan including process flow diagrams, CCP tables, monitoring schedules, corrective action logs, and review history. The export is professionally formatted and ready to present to Environmental Health Officers.
Is there an app for HACCP?
Yes. Paddl is a mobile-first HACCP app that lets staff complete CCP checks, record temperatures, and log corrective actions directly from their phone or tablet. The app works offline and syncs when reconnected, so it works in basements, walk-in freezers, and areas with poor signal. Available on iOS and Android.
How much does HACCP software cost in the UK?
HACCP software in the UK ranges from free basic tools (like the FSA MyHACCP builder) to £200+ per month for enterprise platforms. Paddl includes AI HACCP plan generation, CCP monitoring, corrective action tracking, and EHO audit packs at £69 per location per month with no per-user fees or hidden modules.
Can AI really write a HACCP plan?
Yes. Paddl's AI reads your business profile, menu, equipment register, and existing routines to generate a HACCP plan specific to your operation. It identifies the hazards relevant to your food types and processes, determines appropriate CCPs, sets critical limits based on UK regulations, and links monitoring procedures to your daily tasks. The output is a professional HACCP plan that reflects your actual kitchen, not a generic template.
What is the difference between HACCP software and a HACCP consultant?
A HACCP consultant typically charges between £500 and £2,000 for a one-off plan that takes 2-3 weeks to deliver. The plan is a static document that requires manual updates. HACCP management software like Paddl costs £69 per month, generates a plan in 15 minutes, and keeps it connected to live operational data. When your menu changes or you add equipment, the plan updates. Both approaches produce a valid HACCP system, but software provides ongoing compliance rather than a point-in-time document.
Do I need HACCP software if I already have SFBB?
It depends on your business size and complexity. SFBB is sufficient for most small, single-site food businesses (cafes, small restaurants, takeaways). You may need a full HACCP plan if you have a complex menu with multiple cooking methods, serve vulnerable populations (care homes, hospitals), operate multiple sites, or have been advised by your EHO to move beyond SFBB. Paddl supports both SFBB and HACCP, so you can start with SFBB and upgrade when needed.
