FAQs

Q. I use the Safer Food Better Business system at the moment but find it really difficult to get my business a Level 5. What is different about your system and will it get me a level 5 Food Hygiene Rating?

A. The Food Safety Guru system is designed to be easy and intuitive for chefs to use when they are busy in the kitchen. Your record sheets will be designed for your business by our support team so you don’t need to design them yourself. They are then placed on washable clipboards (which we supply) on your kitchen wall making it quick and easy for your chefs to fill in the required information as part of their kitchen routine. There is no need to go back to the manual on a daily basis as all the information is on the clipboards on the kitchen wall.
Our system is all about making your life simpler and keeping your business at a consistent Level 5 standard. We have a 97% success rate in assisting our clients to get a Level 5 Food Hygiene Rating.

Q. I have the Food Safety Guru System, do I also need to complete my SFBB paperwork?

A. No. Absolutely everything you need is included in your Food Safety Guru pack.

Q. Do you provide ongoing advice and support?

A. The Food Safety Guru system is much more than a monitoring system as you are getting a full back up advice and support service which is especially important in the event of problems such as food poisoning allegations etc. When you join Food Safety Guru you are gaining another team member who is there when you need them giving you peace of mind as well as keeping you fully up to date with legislation and best practice. Our team at Food Safety Guru support you through your set up and provide specialist advice on a wide range of food safety, kitchen management and health & safety as part of your membership.
