MISSION STATEMENT

To be a driving force behind an increase in awareness of, and standards of hygiene standards in premises serving and storing food, by enabling easy public access to data relating to officially observed hygiene standards. To make these objectives more readily achievable by delivering our service, uniquely, at NO COST to the taxpayer.

OUR COMMITMENT TO LOCAL AUTHORITIES

In simple terms, we use our commercial knowledge, and network of partners, to fund the operation of our service privately. This means that no Council, nor any Government Agency, needs to pay any fees to use our National service to push key information into the Public Domain.

Our site works because members of the Public don't see the invisible Council boundaries, and therefore don't know which Council inspects the Restaurant they are thinking of eating at. Largely speaking, they don't know that Food Hygiene Inspections are a Local Council, rather than County Council responsibility. Therefore giving regional and National coverage through one platform works.

Our site also works because the taxpayer appreciates cost effectiveness. In March 2010, a BBC survey revealed over 25,000 Council jobs were at risk, with other parties estimating even more. At a time when our economy faces some of its toughest challenges, we are doing our bit to deliver a service that requires neither internal nor external cost.

We offer a truly start to finish solution, which, aside from publishing inspection data, also provides other key benefits, including a free data cleansing service to maintain records on premises, window stickers to heighten public awareness of the scheme in food premises, support literature for EHO's at inspections, and also a Business to Business section providing support and advice for premises seeking to, and / or needing to, improve.

Aware that some Councils have already been proactive and begun publishing the data through a system requiring external budget spend, we will even adapt our systems to completely replicate that system, if preferred at NO cost.

So, in summary, the same, or a better system. The same, or a better service. And NO cost.

Challenge us to deliver this service to you.

We challenge you to say No.
