About the project

This project, BHSOFT worked with a client in the food safety industry to develop a comprehensive platform aimed at improving food safety standards for hospitality businesses. The platform provides a solution to manage critical food safety processes, monitor real-time data, and train staff to ensure compliance. By streamlining operational workflows, the platform helps businesses reduce brand risks, enhance quality control, and improve staff efficiency—ultimately contributing to better food safety outcomes globally.


The primary mission was to build a robust and reliable solution that removes guesswork from food safety management, ensuring that venues meet food safety standards consistently and efficiently.


The client required a web-based platform that could handle essential food safety tasks such as:

  • Temperature Monitoring: Real-time tracking of fridge and freezer temperatures with automated alerts when values go out of range.
  • Product Expiry & Maintenance Tracking: Tracking product expiry dates, maintenance schedules, and cleaning tasks.
  • Task Management & Compliance: Simplifying task assignment, managing food safety checklists, and ensuring compliance with industry standards.
  • User Engagement: Enabling staff to view training content, record actions taken, and participate in learning sessions.
  • Custom Dashboards: Developing a dashboard to monitor business trends and ensure the effective operation of food safety practices.

As BHSOFT was new to the food safety industry, one of the primary challenges was understanding the client’s domain-specific requirements, terminology, and regulatory needs. This required:

  • Industry Research: Extensive research into the food safety industry to understand critical terms, processes, and compliance standards.
  • Feature Prioritization: Identifying the most important features and requirements to meet the client’s goals while maintaining technical accuracy.
  • Collaboration and Alignment: Establishing clear communication with the client to ensure that expectations were aligned, particularly when translating business needs into technical features.



BHSOFT has conducted extensive research on the technical terms and factors specific to the client's field prior to embarking on the project. To address any ambiguities and inconsistencies in the requirements, the BHSoft development team collaborated closely with the client, brainstorming solutions, conducting investigations, and providing recommendations based on our expertise. It is worth noting that any future modifications will remain compatible with existing structures.
Features of the app:
 - Create custom checklists so that the whole team can follow them.
 - Create action items to ensure tasks get assigned to the right people for prompt response.
 - Create food safety alerts so issues are addressed quickly with a clear record of who has done what.
 - Keep track of assets and maintenance schedules linked to alerts and notifications.
 - Monitor all fridge and freezer temperatures automatically 24/7 through temperature sensors to trigger alerts if the temperature or humidity value is out of range.
 - Label all food to minimize waste and improve food quality.
 - Create standard and bespoke dashboards to reflect trends in the business accurately.
 - Build a library of food safety videos, operational instructional videos, and maintenance tutorials ​
