Food hygiene software for UK food businessesbuilt to run the daily reality properly.
TempTake gives UK food businesses one live system for temperature logs, cleaning schedules, sign-offs, allergen controls, training records, manager visibility and inspection-ready reporting.
This page is not the broad sales pitch. This is the actual product view: what it does, how it works and why it is better than relying on paper, memory and people “doing it later”.

This is not software for “looking compliant”.
It is software for actually running daily food hygiene properly, with records staff can complete, managers can trust and inspectors can follow.
More of what the platform actually includes
This is where the difference shows. Not just “logs and reports”, but the surrounding operational features that make the whole system useful.
Small, compact and mobile-first
TempTake is built to work on phones and compact devices because that is where the work actually happens. Staff should not need a full office setup just to log a fridge check.
Works well on EPOS and shared screens
The system is easy to run on tablets, shared wall displays and EPOS-adjacent hardware where teams need visibility, prompting and quick access during service.
One touch 3 month report sending
Generate and send a 3 month report directly to your EHO inspector without digging through folders, exporting bits manually or trying to rebuild the truth afterwards.
4 week business reviews
Run structured 4 week reviews of business performance so managers can spot repeated misses, weak teams, overdue tasks and recurring compliance pain points.
Quick switch user login
Staff can switch user quickly on shared devices, which keeps accountability cleaner without turning basic logging into a password drama every five minutes.
Multi-site organisation and site switching
Run multiple locations under one setup and switch between sites quickly so owners and managers can see what is happening across the wider business, not just one kitchen.
Supplier contact centre
Keep supplier contacts easy to find so teams are not scrambling for numbers when they need deliveries chased, product details checked or issues resolved quickly.
Team leaderboard and notice board
Use the leaderboard and notice board to drive visibility, accountability and team communication without relying on people noticing scraps of paper stuck to a wall.
EHO inspection anniversary reminders
Get notified around inspection anniversaries so you can tighten records, review standards and avoid drifting into complacency between visits.
Hygiene rating history log
Keep a visible record of hygiene rating history so the business has a clearer long-term picture of inspection performance and improvement over time.
What staff actually use
Staff need speed, clarity and low friction. If the system is awkward, they will avoid it.
- • 2 click temp logging
- • Hands-free voice logging
- • Fast mobile workflows
- • Quick switch user login on shared devices

What managers actually get
Managers need visibility, control and reporting without living inside spreadsheets and folders.

- • Generate 3 month reports fast
- • Run 4 week business reviews
- • Track training and expiry dates

Why this works better than paper
Paper depends on memory, timing and discipline. TempTake gives you structure, prompts, visibility and a proper audit trail.
- ❌ End-of-day catch-up instead of live records
- ❌ Missing initials and weak accountability
- ❌ Managers finding problems too late
- ❌ Scrambling when someone asks for proof
- ✅ Live daily records instead of reconstructed ones
- ✅ Clear audit trail with timestamps and accountability
- ✅ Better visibility for managers across the day
- ✅ Faster reporting when records are requested
Reporting is built in, not bolted on
Food hygiene software is not very useful if the records stay trapped in it. TempTake is designed so you can review what happened, generate reports quickly and send records when an EHO, manager or owner needs to see them.
- • Generate inspection-ready reports faster
- • Send 3 month reports without the paper chase
- • Review checks and corrective actions clearly
- • Keep daily records organised in one place
The system captures temperatures, cleaning and daily compliance records quickly.
Managers can see what is complete, failed, overdue or unresolved from anywhere.
When records are requested, you are working from stored data instead of chaos.
