The FSA's rating scheme scores kitchens across five key compliance areas. Our checklist walks you through every single one.
CompliChef turns this checklist into an automated daily workflow. Temperature logs, cleaning schedules, allergen records and HACCP documentation — all completed on a tablet in your kitchen, timestamped and inspection-ready.
Start your free trial →You don't get a heads-up. Your compliance records need to be ready on any given Tuesday morning.
From probe thermometer calibration logs to allergen training sign-offs — nothing is assumed. If it's not recorded, it didn't happen.
The Food Standards Agency publishes your rating on their website. A 3-star result can cost you customers before they've even visited.
Enforcement notices, required improvements and voluntary closures are all triggered by documentation gaps that are entirely avoidable.
Most kitchens that score below 4 are let down by missing paperwork, not poor hygiene. The right preparation makes the difference.
"We went from a 3-star to a 5-star rating in under three months once we had a proper system for logging temperatures and training records. The checklist gave us the framework to start."
"The EHO arrived on a Thursday morning with no warning. Because we use CompliChef every day, every record was already there. She said it was one of the best-documented kitchens she'd visited."
"I printed the checklist and walked around my kitchen section by section. Found three gaps I didn't know we had. Fixed them all before the inspector came. Scored a 5 — brilliant resource."
