Supplier Management Software for Late-Night Bars
Manage supplier approvals, track delivery compliance, and respond to product recalls. Complete traceability from supplier to service. Built specifically for UK late-night bars.
Understanding late-night bar compliance
Late-night bars sit at the intersection of food, alcohol, and entertainment licensing. They face the same compliance load as nightclubs at smaller scale: refusals logs, Challenge 25, capacity, and incident records.
Challenge 25 enforcement and refusals book evidence
Capacity tracking when fire-safety occupancy is contested
Door staff scheduling for venues that flex from bar to club after midnight
Drink-spiking response policies and witness coordination

Why late-night bars choose Paddl for supplier management
Common questions about Supplier Management for late-night bars
How does delivery acceptance work?
When a delivery arrives, your team follows a structured check-in workflow on the Paddl mobile app: verify temperature with a probe reading, check packaging condition, confirm use-by dates, and verify quantities against the order. Any issues are documented with photos and reasons. The entire check takes under 30 seconds and creates a permanent record linked to the supplier and delivery date.
How does Paddl handle product recalls?
When you receive a recall notice, enter it into Paddl and the system identifies every location that received the affected product, the delivery dates, and batch numbers. All affected locations are alerted instantly. You document what corrective action each location took — product quarantined, returned, or destroyed. The complete recall response is recorded for your EHO inspection file.
Can I track supplier document expiry?
Yes. Upload supplier certificates, insurance documents, and allergen declarations with their expiry dates. Paddl sends automatic alerts before documents expire and flags any supplier whose documentation has lapsed. You can block deliveries from suppliers with expired documentation if you choose.
How does this help with EHO traceability requirements?
EHO inspectors expect you to trace any food item back to its supplier. Paddl links every delivery to a supplier, date, temperature reading, and batch information. When an inspector asks where a specific product came from, you can show the complete chain within seconds.
