Who this is for
Built for restaurant businesses
UK independent restaurant owners — single-site, service-led operations with kitchen + front-of-house, allergen-critical, often covering multiple booking platforms.
Overview
A clearer way to manage your restaurant paperwork
What we solve
Common UK admin problems we solve
- Allergen information held in a kitchen folder that hasn't been updated since the last menu change, with front-of-house giving inconsistent answers across covers
- Supplier traceability handled by invoice pile, with no clean log when an EHO inspector asks where a specific batch came from
- Gratuities and tronc handled informally, with staff disputes simmering and no written allocation rule on file
- Bookings platform data, walk-in cards and loyalty signups covered by a generic GDPR notice — or no notice at all — with no record of which platforms count as processors
- Self-assessment compiled in January from till exports, card receipts, deposit refunds and rough notes, with MTD ITSA quarterly reporting from April 2026 now in scope
- The same weekend-menu posts, allergen reminders to bookings and review replies rewritten from blank every service
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Are these restaurant templates UK-specific?
- Yes. A4 print-ready, GBP, UK conventions for allergen, food safety, GDPR and customer-side paperwork. The allergen register reflects the 14 standard UK food allergens and the documentation EHO inspectors typically expect to see at front-of-house.
- Do the documents cover Natasha's Law and PPDS labelling?
- The pack includes a labelling reference template aligned to the standard PPDS information required since 2021 (full ingredient list, allergens emphasised, allergen-cross-contamination notes). Run your specific labelling output past your council's environmental health team if in doubt.
- Will the MTD compliance kit help with the April 2026 quarterly reporting changes?
- Yes. The kit is structured for clean quarterly bookkeeping — categorised income (food, drink, gift cards, deposits, events), categorised expenses (stock, premises, payroll), quarter-by-quarter summary. Submit through MTD-compatible software yourself, or hand the file to your accountant.
- Does the gratuities template help record tips and tronc-style allocation?
- Yes. The template captures a tronc-style allocation record (date, gross tip pot, allocation rule, per-staff share, signed acknowledgement). HMRC tronc treatment depends on the scheme structure — your accountant or tronc operator should confirm payroll handling.
- What file formats do I get?
- Most documents are PDFs with a fillable business-name header. Premium adds editable Word (.docx). The pricing calculator and MTD kit are Excel workbooks.
