Save time, lower costs, and get a clearer view of performance

Bringing checks, audits, records and follow-up actions into one platform cuts the time spent chasing information and building reports, reduces duplicated software and administration costs, and shows you what’s complete and what needs attention.

These figures come from businesses using Mercury to manage their food safety checks, audits, records and reporting.

Food safety, handled

Food safety isn't one job. So we cover the lot.

You might need help with one issue, or ongoing support across every part of food safety. We’ll get to know how your business works and give you practical advice your team can put into action.

01

Food safety audits

A proper picture of each site, followed by a clear action plan showing what needs doing, who owns it and when it’s due.

02

HACCP Systems

We’ll create or update your HACCP system around your kitchens, menus and working practices, so it makes sense to the people using it.

03

Allergen management

Keep allergen information accurate and give your team clear procedures they can follow during a busy service.

EHO Support

We’ll help you prepare for an EHO visit, respond to any findings and gather the evidence needed to show what has been resolved.

Incident investigation

Quick, calm support when something happens, with the facts, evidence and next steps brought together properly.

06

Food Safety Training

Useful training built around your procedures and people, with a clear record of who has completed what.

Getting started

We'll do the heavy lifting, so you can get on with it

A few questions about our food support

If your question is not here, call us on 01925 396936 and ask.

What does the managed service include?

The service can include food safety audits, HACCP and allergen support, digital checks, action tracking, management reporting, EHO support and a named compliance contact who gets to know your business.

Does the service include the Mercury Platform?

Yes. The platform keeps your checks, temperature records, audits, policies, actions and reports together. You can see what has been completed, what is due and anything that needs attention.

Can Mercury help before an EHO inspection?

Yes. We can review your current position, help resolve any gaps and make sure the evidence is in order. If an EHO has already visited, we can help you respond to the findings.

How do you support multiple sites?

Each site receives the checks, responsibilities and procedures that apply to them. You can then see performance, open actions and supporting evidence across every location from one place.

How quickly can we get started?

Most accounts can be ready in under a week. We configure the platform, move your existing records and guide your team through the setup.

Can we start with a one-off audit?

Yes. A one-off audit will show you where you stand and which actions should come first. If you would like ongoing support afterwards, we can discuss that with you.
