Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Lemon is a food-safety record-keeping app for restaurants, cafés, food trucks, bakeries, pubs, takeaways and dark kitchens. It is aimed primarily at UK food businesses managing HACCP-related daily records. Teams can record fridge, freezer and hot-hold temperatures, log cooking, cooling and reheating checks, document deliveries, complete recurring checklists and maintain corrective-action records. Separate kitchen locations and unlimited team members support both individual sites and growing restaurant groups.
The published Lemon plan costs £19 per location per month, billed monthly, and includes HACCP essentials, custom fridges, freezers and checklists, PDF exports, reminders, month-view reports and EHO-ready audit trails. A 14-day free trial is available, while there is no free plan. The flat per-location structure is straightforward for single-site operators and businesses adding locations one at a time. Group workspace pricing is quoted separately, so larger operators should assess that arrangement before expanding across a wider estate.
Lemon’s strongest area is the connection between routine checks and follow-up actions. Out-of-range readings can create issues automatically, while corrective-action tracking and resolution history give teams a documented response. Delivery records capture supplier, temperature and condition details, and the allergen matrix adds another useful compliance record. Monthly compliance overviews, PDF inspection reports and an audit trail help organize inspection preparation. Web, iOS and Android access supports teams working across kitchen environments. Lemon should suit restaurants seeking a focused digital replacement for paper HACCP records, especially those needing multiple locations. Businesses looking for a broader restaurant operations system may prefer a product with a wider functional scope.
