FoodSafety HQ review
Broad Australian food-safety coverage with offline mobile checks and multi-venue reporting.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
FoodSafety HQ is digital food-safety compliance software for Australian cafes, restaurants, bakeries, food trucks, aged-care providers and other hospitality businesses. It brings temperature monitoring, cleaning and sanitizing records, delivery checks, allergen management, corrective actions, training, supplier and pest registers, waste and expiry tracking, and audit reporting into one system. Teams can complete checks on web, iOS and Android, including offline, while operators oversee one or multiple venues from a central dashboard.
Pricing is straightforward across the published monthly plans. Starter costs AUD 29 per venue per month and includes digital daily checks, temperature and cleaning records, corrective actions and council-ready reports. Professional costs AUD 49 per venue per month, adding multi-venue dashboards, team certification tracking, audit scheduling, waste and expiry analytics, PEAL allergen management and staff training modules. Enterprise is listed at AUD 39 per venue per month and adds volume pricing, priority support, group-wide reporting, a dedicated account manager and custom onboarding; it requires at least 10 venues. A 14-day free trial is available, and annual billing is offered.
The product’s main strength is breadth: it connects everyday records with compliance administration and operational follow-through. Temperature checks cover fridges, freezers and hot-holding, while digital checklists can include photo proof and corrective-action tracking. PEAL allergen management, recall registers and council-ready reporting make it suited to venues managing several compliance responsibilities rather than a single logbook. Australian operators seeking broad coverage across one or multiple venues should consider FoodSafety HQ. A small venue that only needs basic checks may find its wider training, supplier, allergen and reporting scope unnecessary.
