Hospitality compliance is a daily discipline: food safety records that must be kept every shift, allergen information that carries real legal weight, fire and premises safety for a venue full of the public, and staff training across a high-turnover team — all ready for an unannounced environmental health visit. This guide covers what to look for, and how the options compare, for hospitality specifically. For the broad category see the best compliance software in the UK.
