Protecting Your Food Hygiene Rating Across Sites AP Prokure

A Food Hygiene 5 takes years to earn and one missing record to lose.

Your Food Hygiene Rating is public. It sits on your door, on your listings, in front of every customer and every family choosing care for a relative. A drop from a 5 to a 1 isn't a compliance note — it's a visible, searchable hit to bookings and trust.

Food safety systems, hygiene ratings and audit trails must be maintained continuously, evidenced at inspection and consistent across every kitchen. Offences under the Food Safety Act 1990 can carry unlimited fines and prosecution.

What the Portal Does

●        Food safety systems, hygiene ratings and audit trails tracked per site with a complete evidence trail

●        The same standard across every kitchen, whether it's site one or site fifty

●        Audit-ready in minutes, not a frantic folder hunt the night before an inspection

The Cost of Getting This Wrong

●        Hospitality: a rating falls to a 1 or 2; because it's public and permanent until re-inspection, covers and revenue fall with it

●        Care homes: an incomplete audit trail raises CQC concern about resident welfare — the kind of finding that follows the whole group

●        Multi-site: one site's lapse triggers prosecution under the Food Safety Act 1990, plus a brand hit that lands everywhere

Book a demonstration — 15 minutes shows you what a spreadsheet never could.
