Three steps between you and a perfect inspection
We Visit Your Site. You Keep Serving.
A Shield compliance officer walks your floor during your quietest hour. We check every fire exit sign, allergen label, temperature log, and safety certificate — without disrupting a single customer.
Every Gap Gets Fixed. Every Record Gets Filed.
Anything out of order — an expired allergen notice, a missing COSHH sheet, a staff training gap — gets corrected the same day. Your digital compliance folder updates in real time.
Inspector Arrives. You Smile. We Already Did the Work.
When the EHO knocks, your folder is current, your team is briefed, and every certificate is dated correctly. No scrambling, no surprises — just the A rating you deserve.
still wondering if you're covered?
Every café, hotel, and retail floor we visit gets a written compliance report within 24 hours.
See What's CoveredOne team. Every sector. No gaps.
Whether you're plating up Sunday brunch, folding jumpers, or checking guests in, Shield has a compliance pathway built specifically for your venue type.
Every HACCP Folder. Every Allergen Label. Every Fridge Log.
From the independent café running weekend brunch to the restaurant group with five kitchens, Shield covers food temperature records, allergen matrix updates, supplier documentation, and staff Level 2 Food Hygiene certificates — all current, all filed, all signed.
- HACCP plan review and update
- Allergen labelling compliance (Natasha's Law)
- Temperature monitoring records
- Supplier audit documentation
- Staff food hygiene certification tracking
Product Labels, COSHH Sheets, and Floor Safety — Sorted.
Multi-site retail operators tell us the same thing: they know something's wrong somewhere, they just don't know which branch. Shield visits each location, checks product labelling, COSHH documentation, electrical test certificates, and fire safety records — then sends a single dashboard report.
- Product labelling and pricing compliance
- COSHH documentation for cleaning products
- PAT testing and electrical certificate tracking
- Fire risk assessment review
- Multi-site compliance dashboard
EHO Visits. Legionella Checks. Fire Exits. All Covered.
Boutique hotels and guesthouses face the broadest compliance landscape — food safety in the kitchen, legionella risk in the water system, fire safety throughout, and licensing conditions to maintain. Shield manages the full audit calendar and makes sure no renewal slips through the cracks.
- EHO pre-inspection preparation
- Legionella risk assessment and log
- Fire exit and emergency lighting checks
- Licensing condition compliance review
- Guest-facing safety documentation
Compliance alone. Compliance with Shield.
Same café, same team, same inspector. The only difference is who did the paperwork.
Doing it alone
The night before an inspection
- 😰Compliance folder last updated eight months ago
- 🚨Three allergen labels still mention a supplier you no longer use
- 📋Two staff members' food hygiene certificates expired in March
- 🔦Emergency exit light in the back corridor has been flickering for weeks
- 📦Supplier audit documentation scattered across three different folders
- 😓EHO called this morning. You have four hours.
Outcome
Improvement Notice. 3 months to re-inspect.
