Food safety records without the paperwork headache.
Jiko is currently in beta, which means New Zealand cafés, restaurants, food trucks, bakeries and small kitchens can test the app freely while it continues to improve. Use it to complete daily food safety records and kitchen compliance checks from one simple mobile app, so records are easier to keep, easier to find, and easier to show when needed.
Harbour Café
Current user: ManagerThe problem isn’t food safety. It’s keeping the records under pressure.
Small hospitality teams know what needs to be checked, but paper forms, missing signatures, forgotten temperatures and messy folders make compliance harder than it needs to be.
Paper gets lost
Daily check sheets end up in folders, drawers, clipboards or nowhere at all, making it stressful when someone asks for proof.
Busy shifts skip admin
During service, staff need a fast way to tick off checks without stopping the flow of the kitchen.
History is hard to find
When an owner, manager or verifier needs records, searching through old paperwork wastes time and creates unnecessary stress.
Jiko turns daily kitchen compliance into a simple routine.
Instead of relying on paper checklists, your team opens the app, completes the day’s records, and builds a clean digital history automatically.
Everything a small kitchen needs to stay organised.
Jiko focuses on the everyday records that small food businesses need to keep on top of, without turning it into a complicated enterprise system.
Temperature checks
Record fridge, freezer, hot hold and cooked food temperatures with notes when something needs explanation.
Cleaning logs
Track daily, weekly and monthly cleaning tasks so nothing gets missed between shifts.
Delivery records
Save supplier, product, delivery time, arrival temperature and notes for incoming goods.
Opening & closing
Give staff clear checklists for starting and finishing the day properly.
Food served records
Keep traceable notes on what was served, when, and by whom.
Search & export
Find previous records by date and export PDF reports for owners, managers, auditors or verifiers.
Made for small hospitality teams, not corporate head offices.
Jiko is designed for owner-operators and lean teams who need a practical system that staff can actually use during a real shift.
How it works
Set up the kitchen once, then use the daily dashboard as the team’s compliance routine.
Set up your kitchen
Add your temperature items, check times, cleaning tasks, suppliers and the sections your business needs.
Complete daily checks
Staff open Jiko on phone, tablet or desktop and work through the dashboard during the day.
Keep clean records
Records save into history, making it easier to search past days and export proof when required.
