A daily closing checklist in Lemon: Yes, No or N/A, with a note when something is off.

A weekly EHO checklist, pre-loaded

Lemon ships with a weekly checklist built around what UK environmental health officers actually look for. Run it like a mock inspection: walk the kitchen, answer each line, and fix problems on your own schedule instead of during a real visit.

Your routines, your checklists

Every kitchen runs differently. Build your own checklists for opening lines, closing routines, deep cleans or anything else, choose how often each one runs, and Lemon puts them in front of the team on the right day.

Who did what, without asking

Each completed run records who answered it and when. A No answer takes a note, so problems get written down at the moment they are found, not remembered at the end of the week. Unlimited team members are included, so everyone logs under their own name.

What you get

Common questions

Which checklists come pre-loaded?

Lemon includes a weekly checklist built around what UK EHOs look for during an inspection, so you can run a mock inspection every week from day one. You can add your own checklists alongside it.

Can I build my own checklists?

Yes. Create checklists for opening, closing, cleaning schedules or anything specific to your kitchen, and set how often each one runs. The team sees the right checklist on the right day.

Does Lemon replace the SFBB diary?

Lemon covers the day-to-day records the SFBB pack asks for: temperature checks, opening and closing checks and a note when something goes wrong. If you specifically want a one-to-one replica of the FSA pack, read our comparison with SFBB+ to see which fits your kitchen.

What happens when someone answers No?

A No answer asks for a note, so the problem and what was done about it are written down at the moment they are found. Managers see it in the day's records rather than hearing about it later.

Can I see who completed a checklist?

Yes. Every completed run is stored with the name of the person who answered it and the time it was finished, which is exactly the accountability an EHO wants to see.
