FoodSafety HQ gives Australian hospitality businesses a digital way to complete food safety checks and keep council-ready records. It replaces paper logbooks with tools for temperature monitoring, cleaning records with photo proof, delivery checks, corrective actions, training, supplier and recall registers, pest logs, safety data sheet registers, waste tracking and audit reports. Its compliance alignment covers the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, including Standard 3.2.2A and PEAL allergen labelling under Standard 1.2.3. PEAL tools are included on every plan and cover all 14 FSANZ allergens. Staff can complete checks offline, and records sync automatically when connectivity returns. The software runs on Android, iOS and web and needs no probes, sensors, gateways or other hardware. Operators can manage multiple venues from one dashboard, compare compliance and assign staff to locations using role-based access. Admins can tailor checklist items by venue and check type. Records are encrypted in transit and at rest, supported by role-based access and automatic backups; personal information is handled under the Australian Privacy Act 1988. Plans are billed monthly and include a 14-day free trial, with cancellation available at any time. Starter costs 29.00 AUD per month for one venue and up to 10 users.
