Frequently asked
Does one subscription cover more than one outlet?
The engine is built around premises. Each restaurant, kitchen, guesthouse or lodge gets its own CoA, permits, logs and score so a group can see which site is red at a glance.
Do you cover guesthouses and lodges as well as restaurants?
Yes. The compliance overlap is roughly eighty percent — the same food premises, OHS, fire, staff and POPIA duties — so accommodation-specific items sit in the same engine rather than a separate product.
What about the liquor side?
If you serve alcohol, the liquor licence, its conditions and its renewal date are tracked here, and the full Liquor engine is available for multi-premises liquor portfolios.
How is it priced?
R399/month as a Single Specialist engine, or included in Full Stack Specialist at R1,200/month.
