Food safety,
simplified.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lemon needs an internet connection to reliably load and save records. It does not currently provide durable offline recording, so do not rely on unsaved entries surviving an app closure or a loss of connection.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lemon Pro+ includes assigned staff training alongside Pro's record-keeping tools. Managers choose courses, follow progress and keep completion records and workplace observations. Staff learn in the Lemon app. The Pro trial covers record-keeping; course previews are free, but assigning and taking courses requires Pro+.

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.
