Cheflog
Food safety records for your kitchen
Your HACCP checks, done on the kitchen tablet.
Cheflog shows what is due today: fridge and freezer temperatures, deliveries, cooking, cooling, hot holding, cleaning, fryer oil and pests. Tap, type the reading with big keys and sign with your initials. If a reading is out of range, Cheflog asks what you did about it. When the inspector comes, the records are ready.
Try everything free for 30 days. Cheflog Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription.
How it works
- Pick your countryChecks and limits follow the guidance for the UK, Germany and France, with a general pack for other countries. Every limit shows its source, and you can change it.
- Add fridges and staffSet up your fridges, freezers and hot cabinets, your opening hours and who signs. It takes about five minutes.
- Check, sign, doneToday shows what is due. Type the reading, sign with your initials and the record is kept. Out of range? Pick the corrective action and get a reminder to check again.
What makes it different
Only what is due today
Today shows what is due, overdue and done, and updates by itself through the day. When food is cooling, Cheflog reminds you of the final reading.
Made for wet hands
Big keys and buttons for wet or gloved hands, with strong contrast for a tablet on the kitchen wall.
Records that hold up
Every entry is signed with initials, with an optional PIN per person. A signed entry is never changed: a correction adds a new entry with the time, initials and reason, and both appear on the printout.
Ready for the inspector
PDF and CSV for any period, and a read-only inspector view for the last 30 or 90 days. Checks that were due but not recorded show on every printout.
The 14 allergens, dish by dish
An allergen sheet for the 14 allergens named in EU law, dish by dish, to print for staff and guests.
Your data stays yours
No account, no tracking and no ads. Records stay on your device with a backup every day, and on iPhone and iPad they sync through your own iCloud.
On your Mac too
Cheflog for Mac shows the whole kitchen at the owner's desk: an overview of every check and temperature, reports for the inspector and an archive of every entry. It reads the records of your iPad or iPhone through iCloud, or the backups of an Android tablet. Pro is one purchase for iPad, iPhone and Mac.
Checks for your country
Cheflog starts with the checks and limits from your country's guidance, so you don't type in a plan from scratch.
- England, Wales and Northern Ireland: based on Safer food, better business from the Food Standards Agency
- Scotland: based on CookSafe from Food Standards Scotland
- Germany: temperature limits from the hygiene regulations and DIN 10508, and the self-check templates of local food authorities
- France: the arrêté of 21 December 2009 and the good hygiene practice guides for restaurants and fast food
- Every other country: a general pack based on the Codex Alimentarius and the WHO Five keys to safer food
Cheflog helps you keep records. It doesn't certify anything and isn't approved by any authority, so check every limit against your own plan. The UK and Scottish checks use public sector information under the Open Government Licence; Cheflog isn't connected to the Food Standards Agency or Food Standards Scotland.

Questions
Is Cheflog a HACCP app?
It keeps the records your HACCP-based procedures call for: temperatures, deliveries, cooking, cooling, cleaning, pests, training and the periodic review. It doesn't write your HACCP plan and isn't approved by any authority, so check its limits against your own plan.
Which countries is it for?
It has checks and limits for England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Germany and France, and a general pack for every other country. The app is in English, German and French.
Can I change the limits and add my own checks?
Yes. Every limit and frequency shows its source and can be changed, checks you don't need can be switched off and you can add your own.
What happens when a reading is out of range?
Cheflog asks for the corrective action, for example moving food to another fridge, and can remind you to check again in 15 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour. The action is kept with the reading.
Can I correct a mistake?
Yes, with the time, your initials and a reason. The original entry stays as it was and both appear on the printout, the way an inspector expects. If a manager PIN is set, it is asked first.
What does the inspector see?
Hand over the tablet in the read-only inspector view for the last 30 or 90 days, or print a PDF for any period. Checks that were due but not recorded are listed too.
Does it work on several devices?
On iPad and iPhone the records sync through your own iCloud. On Android, Cheflog keeps the records on one tablet or phone, and a backup moves them to another device, even between an iPad and an Android tablet.
Do I need an account or an internet connection?
No. Cheflog works without an account and without internet, and it collects no data. Details are in the privacy policy.
Does Cheflog store staff health details?
No. Where a fitness-to-work check is part of your routine, Cheflog records only that the check was done.
Does Pro carry over between iPhone and Android?
Pro is bought in the App Store or on Google Play and restores on any device with the same Apple or Google account. A purchase in one store doesn't carry over to the other.
Which devices does it run on?
iPad and iPhone with iOS 17 or later, Android tablets and phones with Android 10 or later, and Macs with macOS 14 or later for the owner's desk. It is made for a tablet on the kitchen wall and works on a phone too. The Android version is on Google Play; the App Store versions for iPad, iPhone and Mac are in review.
