What chefs say
about Lemon.
Two kitchens, in their own words.
“We used to spend three hours a week on paperwork. With Lemon the closing team just taps through the checklist and we're done.”
“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?support@getlemon.app
Does Lemon replace my HACCP plan or SFBB pack?
No. Lemon keeps your daily records. It does not write your HACCP plan or replace your safe methods. If you use SFBB, keep your safe methods and 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. Training is included in the £19 and in the free trial. Six courses cover food hygiene, allergens, food safety management and supervision, fire safety and first aid awareness. Owners and managers assign them in the Lemon app, and staff learn in the same app.
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 recording, the owner subscribes on the web at £19 per location per month, and subscribing early starts the paid plan straight away. If recording pauses, your records stay available to your team 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 what each one contains and may contain. 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.
What if my kitchen is closed for a day or a holiday?
An owner or manager marks the days in Settings, under Pause Recordings: the days you always close each week, or a one-off closure with a reason, such as an annual holiday. Those days show as closed in the monthly overview instead of as missing records, and your exported report lists the closures.
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, and it runs on iPad too.
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?
Yes. Owners and managers can share the team's training records from the Training screen in the app as a spreadsheet file, with each assignment and completion. It opens in Excel or Google Sheets. Course certificates are PDFs, and kitchen records have their own PDF export.
