The problem isn’t food safety. It’s keeping accurate records while running a busy kitchen.

Small hospitality teams know what needs to be checked, but paper forms, missing signatures, forgotten temperatures and messy folders make compliance harder than it needs to be.

Paper gets lost

Daily check sheets end up in folders, drawers, clipboards or nowhere at all, making it stressful when someone asks for proof.

Busy shifts skip admin

During service, staff need a fast way to tick off checks without stopping the flow of the kitchen.

History is hard to find

When records are needed, searching through old paperwork wastes time and creates unnecessary stress.

Jiko turns daily kitchen compliance into a simple routine.

Instead of relying on paper checklists, your team opens the app, completes the day’s records, and builds a clean digital history automatically.

Simple for staffClear daily buttons for temperatures, cleaning, opening, closing, delivery checks and food served records.
Useful for ownersSee what has been completed and what is still missing without chasing paper forms.
Better for inspectionsSearch history by date and export records when you need to show evidence.

Everything a small kitchen needs to stay organised.

Jiko focuses on the everyday records that small food businesses need to keep on top of, without turning it into a complicated enterprise system.

Temperature checks

Record fridge, freezer, hot hold and cooked food temperatures.

Cleaning logs

Track daily, weekly and monthly cleaning tasks so nothing gets missed between shifts.

Delivery records

Save supplier, product, delivery time, arrival temperature and notes for incoming goods.

Opening & closing

Give staff clear checklists for starting and finishing the day properly.

Food served records

Keep traceable notes on what was served, when, and by whom.

Search, archives & export

Find daily records by date, search general record archives, and export PDF reports for owners, managers, auditors or verifiers.

Made for small hospitality teams, not corporate head offices.

Jiko is built for busy hospitality teams that need a practical food safety system that's simple to use and easy to keep up with.

Questions owners usually ask

A simple product for a practical problem.

Is this for small businesses?

Yes. Jiko is aimed at small cafés, restaurants, bakeries, food trucks, caterers and takeaway kitchens that need a simpler way to keep daily records.

Does it replace staff training?

No. Jiko helps record checks and organise evidence, but staff still need to understand your food control plan, safe food handling and business procedures.

Can staff use it on their phones?

Yes. The app is designed to be mobile and tablet responsive so staff can use it where the work happens.

What happens when I need old records?

You can search daily history by date, view general record archives by record type, and export compliance records as PDFs.

Make compliance easier from today.

Jiko gives small hospitality teams a cleaner way to complete food safety checks, keep records, find proof quickly, and stay ready when records are requested.
