Nothing out of date on inspection day
When an Environmental Health Officer visits, they ask to see your paperwork: food hygiene certificates, allergen training records, pest control contracts, public liability and employer's liability insurance, EHO correspondence, and your Safer Food, Better Business (SFBB) or HACCP pack. If any of it is missing or out of date, the visit gets harder than it needs to be.
Blueroll keeps all of it in one place. Every certificate, licence, policy and training record is stored together, so when an officer asks you can find it straight away rather than digging through a folder in the office. Being organised and able to show your documents feeds directly into the Confidence in Management score — the component that most often caps a rating. For more on lifting your score, see our guide on how to improve a food hygiene rating.
Reminders before it matters
Certificates, licences and insurance policies all have renewal dates, and it's easy to lose track of them. When you upload a document to Blueroll, you set its expiry date and the app sends automatic reminders before that date arrives. You renew it in good time, and nothing lapses quietly in the background.
The result is simple: when the inspector asks, every document is current and to hand, and you're not scrambling to renew something at the last minute.
Frequently asked questions
What documents should a restaurant keep?
Keep what an EHO typically asks for in one place: food hygiene certificates, allergen training records, pest control contracts, public liability and employer's liability insurance, EHO correspondence, and your SFBB or HACCP pack. Blueroll stores every certificate, licence, policy and training record together.
How do expiry reminders work?
When you upload a document, you set its expiry date — the renewal date on a certificate, licence or insurance policy. Blueroll then sends automatic reminders before that date so you can renew it in good time and nothing lapses.
Can my team access the documents?
Yes. Documents are stored in one place and available to your team, so the right people can find the certificate, licence or policy they need on their phone.
