Keep the records. Answer the organiser in five minutes, not five days.
CaterPad keeps the checks, fridge temperatures, deliveries and documents for each unit you run. When an organiser or an officer asks, the record is there, with the time it was signed and the time it arrived.
From £9.99 a month. 14 day trial, cancel inside it and pay nothing.
A record keeping tool. Not a certification, not an inspection score, not an approval.

Two times on every record.
A check signed in a field with no signal is still a check signed in a field. When the phone finds signal, CaterPad records when it arrived as well. Both times stay on the record and both print on the export, so nothing looks tidier than it was.

What it keeps.
The records a mobile caterer is asked for, and nothing you will not use. Each one is signed by a person and kept for as long as you are a customer.
- Opening and closing checks
- A short list for prep day and trade day. Tick what is true, sign it, done.
- Fridge and probe temperatures
- Readings against the limits you set, with a note when one drifts.
- Deliveries
- What arrived, at what temperature, and whether you accepted it.
- Incidents
- What went wrong and what you did about it, in your own words.
- Cleaning, cooking and cooling
- Each on its own schedule, each with a signature.
- Documents and certificates
- Insurance, gas safety, training, with the dates they run out.
- Allergen matrix
- Every dish, fourteen allergens, confirmed by a person and never guessed.
- Fitness to work
- Kept apart from everything else, seen only by the people who should.
One company. Several brands. Several units.
Most caterers are not one business with one unit. CaterPad is shaped that way from the start: the company at the top, brands under it, and each unit keeping its own diary. Vans, event trucks, gazebos, trailers, bikes and shared prep kitchens all count as a unit.
