Food safety training for schools and academy trustsEvery school kitchen's paperwork,
in one place at last.
Term-time staff, agency cover and a kitchen in every school. The app puts the daily records on a tablet in each kitchen, the training under each person's own name, and a head-office screen, GFH Manager, showing the whole trust at once.
7 days free on every plan. Add a card to start — nothing is taken until the 7 days are up. Your records are yours: we never delete a business’s records.
What it is actually like
The parts that take the time
Cover and agency staff
Someone new starts on Monday and has to be safe by lunch. Assign a course the moment they are booked; they finish it on their phone and their certificate is in their own name, not the agency's.
Kitchens you rarely stand in
A trust catering manager cannot be in eight kitchens at breakfast. Each one keeps its own records in the same shape, so a school that is drifting shows up as a gap, not a surprise at inspection.
Allergens for children
Menus and allergen information sit with the records, so what was served and what was in it can be answered later, not reconstructed.
Long holidays, cold starts
Closure periods are part of the app, so a kitchen that is shut does not look like a kitchen that stopped writing things down.
Inspection day
Open a read-only portal for the environmental health officer, or print the records for the dates they ask for. The pack shows exactly which days it covers and says so.
Governors and finance
One invoice for the trust, priced per kitchen, with a purchase order. A named contact rather than a support queue.
Certificates carry each person's own name and a number anyone can check, which is what an inspector asks to see — not a trust-wide training spreadsheet.
What you are buying
Three parts, one supplier
The kitchen app
Daily records, cleaning rota, staff rota, allergens, menus and the written safe method, on any tablet or phone. Works while the wi-fi is down. 15 languages, nothing to install.
The training
Food safety for handlers and supervisors, HACCP, allergens and more, written to FSA guidance. A certificate in each person's own name that anyone can check online. 15 languages.
The head-office dashboard
GFH Manager: every kitchen on one screen — today’s checks, fridge temperatures, what is overdue and who signed, alerts, a print-ready pack for an inspection, and every staff certificate across every site in one list, ready to print. It also sends a round-up three times a day and a weekly summary, as notifications on your phone or computer. Free for business customers who use the app and the courses.
On an iPhone, add GFH Manager to your Home Screen first so the notifications can arrive: open it in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.

- 7 days free on every plan, nothing taken until the 7 days are up
- Priced per kitchen, invoiced how you need it
- A named contact, not a ticket queue
Questions from schools and trusts
Can each school keep its own records but the trust see everything?
That is exactly the shape. Each kitchen fills in its own records; the head-office dashboard, GFH Manager, shows every school on one screen, free when you use the app and the courses.
How are we invoiced?
One invoice for the trust, priced per kitchen, against your purchase order. Schools and trusts are quoted rather than bought online, because the answer depends on how many kitchens you run.
Our kitchen teams speak several languages. Is that a problem?
No. The app and the courses are both in 15 languages, so each person works in the language they are most comfortable with. The records and certificates are equally valid whichever was used.
How do training records reach the kitchen app?
You join your website account and the app once, with a connection code from your Team page. After that, finished courses appear in the app.
What happens over the summer?
Closures are part of the app, so a shut kitchen is recorded as shut. Nothing counts as a missed day, and nothing is deleted.
