Everything you need to know about Kitchen OS — food safety compliance, allergen management, labelling, waste tracking, and pricing.
Kitchen OS is a food safety and kitchen operations platform for professional kitchens. It brings together four specialist tools — Food Safe System (HACCP & temperature monitoring), AllerQ (digital allergen menus), Food Label System (automated date labels), and F*** Waste (food waste tracking) — into one connected platform. Teams can use one module or all four together. Kitchen OS is used by restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, commissaries, and catering operations.
Yes. Kitchen OS is designed to scale across multiple locations. You can manage all sites from a single dashboard, compare performance between locations, and generate consolidated compliance reports. Volume discounts apply automatically: 5% off for 3–5 locations, 10% off for 6–12 locations, and 15% off for 13+ locations. Operators with 20+ locations can request custom enterprise pricing.
No. Each Kitchen OS module works independently and can be purchased separately. Start with the product that solves your most pressing problem — for example, Food Safe System for compliance, or AllerQ for allergen menus — and add more modules whenever you are ready. Bundle packages are available if you want to combine products at a discount.
Kitchen OS serves any professional kitchen where food safety, allergen management, labelling, or waste tracking matters. Current customers include independent restaurants, multi-site restaurant groups, hotels and hospitality venues, schools and universities, hospitals and care homes, cafes and coffee shop chains, commissary kitchens, and food production facilities.
Kitchen OS is headquartered in the UK and primarily serves UK professional kitchens. Food Safe System is also available in Australia via a dedicated site. If you are based outside the UK, contact us to discuss availability.
Food Safe System digitises your HACCP process from end to end. Wireless LoRaWAN sensors monitor fridges, freezers, and cooking equipment 24/7, automatically logging temperatures without any manual input. Digital checklists replace paper forms. If a temperature goes out of the safe range, you receive an instant alert via the app, email, or SMS. All records are stored in the cloud and available as audit-ready reports for EHO inspections at any time.
No wiring is required. Food Safe System uses LoRaWAN sensors that are battery-powered and communicate wirelessly with a central gateway. LoRaWAN has a range of up to 1,000 metres to the base station and does not require your kitchen Wi-Fi network. Sensors have a 2+ year battery life. Installation takes minutes — place sensors in the equipment and they start monitoring automatically.
You receive an instant alert via push notification, email, or SMS. The alert tells you which piece of equipment is affected, the current temperature reading, and recommended actions. All alerts and responses are automatically logged in your compliance records, giving you a full audit trail of every incident and how it was resolved.
Food Safe System has three options. Chef (1 user, 1 kitchen) is £15/month or £150/year, and Kitchen (per kitchen) is £25/month or £250/year; both are software only with no set-up fee. Kitchen with sensors is £15/month (or £150/year) per sensor, minimum 3 sensors per kitchen, plus a one-off £200 set-up per kitchen, and includes all software. Example: 1 kitchen with 3 sensors on annual billing is £450 + £200 set-up = £650 in year one. Annual billing is 2 months free. All prices exclude VAT.
Paper logs rely on staff remembering to check and record temperatures manually, which creates gaps, errors, and compliance risk. Kitchen OS sensors check automatically every few minutes, 24/7 — including overnight and weekends when no staff are present. Records are stored digitally and cannot be altered or lost. Audit-ready reports are generated instantly rather than requiring hours of manual preparation before an inspection.
Customers scan a QR code displayed on your table, counter, or printed menu using their phone camera. The digital allergen menu opens instantly in their mobile browser — no app download required. They can filter dishes by allergens (e.g. gluten-free, dairy-free) and view full ingredient lists.
Yes. AllerQ meets UK allergen labelling requirements including the Food Information (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2019, commonly known as Natasha's Law. You can display full ingredient lists and allergen information for every menu item, and AllerQ maintains a complete audit trail showing which customers viewed the information and when — supporting your due diligence defence.
Instantly. AllerQ includes a web dashboard where you update dishes, ingredients, and allergen information yourself. Changes go live across all your QR codes within seconds — no reprinting, no waiting. This means you can respond to ingredient substitutions or menu changes the moment they happen, keeping your allergen information accurate at all times.
AllerQ is £7.49/month or £74/year (2 months free), excluding VAT. There is also a free tier with 1 menu and 20 items. The subscription includes QR code generation and customer analytics, and no hardware is required.
The Food Label System replaces handwritten labels with printed, compliant food labels. Staff select a food item on a tablet, and the system automatically calculates and prints use-by dates, allergen warnings, preparation instructions, and barcodes within seconds. With Option A the printer is included in the monthly subscription and 2,000 labels are included in your first month. Option B lets you buy the printer outright and pay a lower monthly fee.
The Food Label System is for any professional kitchen that prepares and stores food: restaurants, cafes, hotel kitchens, school canteens, hospitals, commissaries, and food production facilities. It is particularly valuable for prep-heavy kitchens, multi-site operators who need consistent labelling standards, and businesses that have previously relied on handwritten labels.
Option A is £35/month per kitchen with the printer included and 2,000 labels in the first month (12-month minimum term). Option B is a one-off £199 printer (2-year warranty) plus £15/month. Label packs of 2,100 labels are £25 per pack, with delivery of £4.95 for 1–2 packs and free delivery for 3 or more. All prices exclude VAT.
F*** Waste uses wireless stainless smart scales placed under existing waste bins. Staff dispose of waste as normal — there is no scanning, no manual data entry, and no change to how the kitchen operates. The scales capture the weight of every waste event automatically and sync the data in real time to a cloud analytics dashboard. The system is invisible to kitchen staff during service.
Based on average customer data, F*** Waste delivers a 14:1 ROI through ingredient cost savings and reduced waste collection fees. Most kitchens see 50%+ food waste reduction within 3 months. The analytics dashboard identifies which ingredients are wasted most, at what time of day, and at which stage of preparation — giving your team specific actions to take rather than general guidance.
F*** Waste Standard is £150/month or £1,500/year per kitchen, with scales included. F*** Waste Lite is £95/month or £950/year per kitchen; you buy the scales (£300) and a gateway (£150, waived if you have Food Safe System sensors). Both have a 12-month minimum term and prices exclude VAT. F*** Waste is currently available for waitlist sign-up ahead of general availability.
