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

Small kitchen 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 food safety record keeping into a simple routine.

Your team works through clear Daily, Weekly and General record dashboards while Jiko builds a timestamped digital history automatically.

✓Simple for staffGuided records, clear completion status, warnings and required details help staff capture the right information.
✓Useful for ownersCustomise the kitchen, set device reminders and see what has and has not been completed.
✓Better for verificationReview daily, weekly and general history, then export PDF records when evidence is requested.

Food safety records for the way a real kitchen works.

From opening checks to allergen records and method verification, Jiko keeps everyday evidence organised without turning it into a complicated enterprise system.

Temperature records

Record fridge and freezer checks plus cooked poultry, minced meat, liver, reheating and cooling temperatures, with safety warnings built in.

Daily & weekly routines

Manage opening, closing, daily cleaning, weekly cleaning, pest control and food served records from separate dashboard views.

Guided delivery checks

Capture the supplier, goods, time, chilled and frozen checks, packaging, due dates and corrective details when an issue is found.

Prove your method works

Build three consecutive checks for cooking, reheating or cooling methods, then keep proven methods verified with weekly checks.

Reminders & accountability

Set daily, weekly, monthly or one-off reminders. Saved records include timestamps and the team member responsible.

General records & reports

Keep illness, training, complaints, maintenance, incident, thermometer calibration and allergen records, with searchable history and PDF exports.

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, takeaway businesses and day care kitchens that need a simpler way to keep food safety 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, and can be installed as a web app so staff can use it where the work happens.

Can Jiko remind staff to complete checks?

Yes. You can create daily, weekly, monthly or one-off reminders for key record sections and enable device notifications.

What happens when I need old records?

You can review Daily and Weekly history, search General record archives by type and date, 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.
