Built for UK small businesses

Compliance software for restaurants and takeaways

Restaurants and takeaways employ some of the most diverse workforces in the UK — kitchen staff, front-of-house, delivery drivers, all with different immigration statuses, visa types and expiry dates. KornerIQ tracks every right-to-work check, food hygiene certificate and staff document — so you are always inspection-ready.

Sound familiar?

  • Kitchen staff on different visa types — hard to track who needs re-checking and when
  • Food hygiene certificates expiring unnoticed — a liability in an EHO inspection
  • Right-to-work checks done verbally or on paper — no records for a Home Office visit
  • High staff turnover means constant re-checking and re-filing
  • No system for holiday or sick leave — disputes arise when rotas change

KornerIQ replaces all of this with one dashboard — built for the way UK small businesses actually run.

Frequently asked questions

How often must restaurant employees have food hygiene training?

Food hygiene certificates are not legally required but are widely expected as evidence of food safety training. Level 2 Food Hygiene certificates should be renewed every 3 years. During an EHO inspection, you may be asked to produce training records for all food-handling staff. KornerIQ tracks expiry dates and sends alerts before any certificate lapses.

My kitchen staff are mostly on Skilled Worker visas — what do I need to check?

Workers on Skilled Worker visas have time-limited leave to remain. You must conduct a right-to-work check before employment begins and a follow-up check before their visa expires. KornerIQ records each check, notes the expiry date, and sends alerts at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days before each deadline.

Do delivery drivers need right-to-work checks?

Yes. If the driver is employed (even zero-hours), you must conduct a right-to-work check. If they are genuinely self-employed contractors, the duty does not apply — but the employment status test applies, not just the label you give the relationship.
