Kitchen compliance and operations software for pubs serving food without the paperwork headache

The Challenge for Pubs & Bars

Pub kitchens are some of the most demanding environments in hospitality. You're often running a full food operation alongside a busy bar — with a smaller kitchen team, tighter margins, and the added complexity of managing compliance across both wet and food sides of the business. EHO inspections cover your kitchen operation in full, and a poor hygiene rating displayed at the door directly impacts footfall. Pub kitchens also tend to have high staff turnover, making consistent training records and handover notes critical to maintaining standards across every shift. Chef-Ops-Pro gives pub kitchen teams a fast, simple way to stay compliant, control food costs, and keep operations running smoothly — without adding to the workload of an already stretched team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our pub kitchen is small — do we still need full compliance documentation?

Yes. EHO inspectors assess pub kitchens exactly as they would a restaurant. Temperature logs, cleaning schedules, HACCP records, and staff training documentation are all required regardless of kitchen size. Chef-Ops-Pro makes these quick to complete and always accessible.

How does Chef-Ops-Pro help with high staff turnover in pub kitchens?

The Staff Training Records module lets you log and track training sign-offs digitally for every team member. When new staff join, their training history is recorded from day one. The Team Handover module keeps shift information consistent regardless of who’s on that day.

Can we track food GP alongside bar margins?

Chef-Ops-Pro focuses on kitchen food cost tracking — monitoring ingredient costs, dish margins, and procurement spend. It gives your kitchen the same financial visibility your bar operation already has, so you can see exactly where your food GP is being lost.

We change our menu seasonally — how does that work with food cost tracking?

You update your dishes and ingredient costs in the Food Cost module whenever your menu changes. Chef-Ops-Pro tracks costs against your current menu, so seasonal changes are straightforward to manage and your margin data stays accurate.
