New starter on Monday? See who’s trained, certified and ready for shift at a glance.

Our Training Matrix lines up every requirement, certificate and training against each team member, so you can see what’s done, what’s expiring and what’s still missing, person by person.

Before anyone clocks on, you’ll know they’re trained and qualified, whichever location they’re working at. And with reminders going out before certificates expire, nothing slips through the cracks.

It’s finally here! Our latest release, with the Training Management Module at the centre of it.

From onboarding to food safety quizzes, every part of your team’s training now sits in one place. Our Training Matrix shows where everyone stands, and reminders go out before any certificate expires. Your team can complete it all from their phones, including casual staff without a login.

But our release doesn’t stop there. Here’s what else is new in Safe Food Pro:

- Improved sensor reporting: outages now automatically create a Corrective Action, with every outage logged in the new Sensor Outage Register.
- Printable QR codes that open forms and resources straight in the app, so your team gets to the right form in one scan.
- And more. View our full release notes here: https://ap1.hubs.ly/H01sb9D0

This one's worth putting in front of your team!

The rush hits, and things can unravel fast, rosters stay bloated long after it clears, cooks over-portion under pressure, tickets choke at the pass, and stressed teams can make mistakes they wouldn't otherwise make.

We're hosting a live webinar with hospitality coach James O'Connell (Founder, The Hospitality Company) and Richard McLeod (CEO, Loaded), unpacking how top New Zealand venues handle their busiest windows without the chaos, worth getting the team on this one.

Built directly from customer feedback: You can now upload resources and certificates directly via tasks!

Stop chasing kitchen staff over text for photos of their food handler certificates or licenses. Now, you can assign a task directly in Safe Food Pro:
1. Staff receive a task on their mobile app.
2. They snap a photo or upload a PDF of their certificate.
3. The file automatically routes into their user profile and alerts the kitchen manager for review.

Keep your kitchens 100% audit-ready without the paper chase.

A billion pints. One tournament. Every four years. 🍻

The stats are telling us an estimated 1 billion pints will be poured during this Fifa World Cup, and no doubt there's a good chunk of that coming out of NZ and AU.

The same trend shows up every four years: hospitality venues become the host of the tournament as much as any stadium, screening matches, singing songs, and giving people a place to come together and celebrate.

It's worth taking a moment, especially after a huge semi-final, to recognise every hospitality venue across the country putting in the extra work and extra pours this season. Without you, many of us wouldn't get to soak up the World Cup the best way possible, celebrating together.

Thank you for your hospitality. With the final just days away, if you're heading to a venue to watch it, make sure you thank the team behind it that little bit more 🙏
