What chefs say

Kitchens run smoother on Lemon.

We used to spend three hours a week on paperwork. With Lemon the closing team just taps through the checklist and we're done.

M
Mei L.
Head chef, Edinburgh

The EHO turned up unannounced last month. I emailed our last six months of logs from my phone in under a minute. Five-star rating.

T
Tom R.
Owner, two-site café

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

Armin and Gauthier, founders of Lemon

About us

We're Armin and Gauthier, and we met while studying at the University of Edinburgh. Having both worked in restaurants, we started Lemon as a fun side project, building the kind of simple tool we wished we had in our own kitchens.

Today, we still run Lemon as a passion project, making sure it stays accessible, lightweight, and focused on one simple goal: helping small kitchens save time every day with food safety checks that are quick, compliant, and stress-free.
