What chefs say
about Lemon.
Two of the kitchens using Lemon, in their own words.

“Our KPs love it. No one forgets the PM fridge temps anymore because the app just nags you until it's done.”

Something else on your mind?hi@getlemon.app
Does Lemon replace my HACCP plan or SFBB pack?
Lemon supports the records around your food safety system. It does not write your HACCP plan or replace the safe methods your business needs. If you use SFBB, keep your completed safe methods and required diary sign-off alongside your Lemon records.
Can I use digital food-safety records?
Yes. FSA guidance lets you keep food safety records electronically, as long as they are accurate and you can produce them when an inspector asks. Lemon exports your food-safety records as a PDF, so you always have something to hand over.
Does Lemon include staff training?
Yes. Staff training is included in Lemon at £19 per location per month, and in the free trial. Managers choose courses, follow progress and keep completion records and workplace observations. Staff learn in the Lemon app. There is no separate training plan and no fee per person.
Does Lemon work offline?
Partly. Temperature readings, food checks, deliveries and issue reports are saved on the phone first and sent when the connection returns, even if the app is closed in between. Checklists still need a connection, and so does signing in on a phone for the first time.
What happens when my trial ends?
The trial lasts 14 days and needs no card. To keep adding records after the trial, the owner subscribes through the web account, at £19 per location per month. Choosing to subscribe starts the paid subscription immediately. If recording is paused, existing retained records remain available to authorised team members for review and export.
More questions
What is Lemon?
Lemon is a food safety record-keeping app for UK kitchens. Teams use it to record temperatures, food checks, deliveries and checklists, then review named records and export food-safety reports as PDFs.
Who is Lemon for?
Lemon is designed for restaurant owners, chefs and kitchen managers who want their everyday food-safety records in one place. It suits kitchens that take and record their own checks, including restaurants, cafés, pubs and takeaways.
What can I export?
You can export food-safety records and the allergen matrix as PDFs. On a phone, use the sharing options to save or send the report. On the web, use your browser's print or Save as PDF option.
Does Lemon have an allergen matrix?
Yes. An owner or manager can enable the optional allergen matrix, add dishes and record the allergens each contains. The team can read it and export a PDF. Your business needs to check the information against its recipes and supplier specifications and update it when those change.
Can I use Lemon for more than one kitchen?
Yes. Lemon keeps each location's team and records separate, and owners can manage more than one location. Subscription pricing is per location. Check the available features against your needs before choosing Lemon for a wider group rollout.
Can I use Lemon on iPhone, Android and the web?
Yes. New owners set up their account and first kitchen on the web, then sign in on their phone. Existing team members use their own accounts. The iPhone app is designed for signing in to an existing kitchen.
How do I manage my subscription?
The account owner manages the subscription through the web account. Use the billing options there to review the current plan and manage payment or cancellation. You can cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
Can I export Training records to a spreadsheet?
Managers can export Training assignment records as CSV, including completion information and the latest workplace observation. Course-completion certificates are available as PDFs. This is separate from the PDF export for kitchen food-safety records. CSV files can be opened in spreadsheet software; Lemon does not provide a native Excel workbook export.
