Alert65

Alert65 is a cloud-based compliance system for food safety and health and safety across multiple business sites. It is best suited to restaurant groups and other operators that need shared procedures, site-level variation and controlled access for different roles. Its broad workflow is compelling for complex operations, but buyers must obtain a custom quote and confirm how their reporting requirements will be handled.

Overview

Alert65 brings HACCP documentation, risk assessments, routine checks, incidents, corrective work and staff certification into one system. Consultant-built starting material reduces the effort of creating policies from scratch, while per-site customisation avoids imposing one identical process on every location. The trade-off is that pricing and compliance reporting are configured through a sales conversation rather than a published package.

Multi-site controls let organisations manage several locations and restrict users to information appropriate to their role or business. That is a meaningful advantage for groups that need central oversight without exposing every record to every employee.

Key features

Plans, assessments and daily checks

Digital HACCP plans use consultant-built templates that can be adapted by site or concept. More than 200 consultant-created risk-assessment templates include version history, giving teams a substantial library and an audit trail of changes. This combination suits operators seeking consistency with local flexibility.

Staff can complete digital checklists and temperature checks, including opening and closing routines, on phones, tablets or desktop computers. Temperature logs, corrective actions, inspections and audits are supported. Food Alert says the system remains accessible offline, so teams can continue recording checks when connectivity is unavailable and synchronise their work later.

Allergens, incidents and work allocation

An in-app allergen matrix can be built and updated as menus or ingredients change. Incident management covers food complaints, accidents and other incidents, with case tracking and uploads for supporting images and documents. The task view surfaces outstanding work and assigns green, amber or red priority scores, helping managers distinguish routine follow-up from urgent corrective action.

People, support and security

Alert65 tracks staff training and statutory certification expiry dates and can send deadline reminders. This is useful where renewals are spread across many sites. Onboarding includes implementation guidance, help building or refining HACCP and policies, and training workshops. A dedicated in-house food-safety advice line operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Food Alert says the platform is ISO 27001 certified, encrypts all data and undergoes annual penetration testing.

Pricing

The Alert65 plan uses custom pricing: visitors request a quote through a contact form, and a demo is available. There is no published per-user, per-site or usage allowance, so multi-location buyers should ask how the quote changes with sites, roles, records and reporting needs before signing. This approach may suit organisations that want implementation help and a tailored rollout, but it makes direct budget comparison harder than with transparent self-serve products.

Platforms

Alert65 supports Android, iOS and web access. Food Alert also describes use on mobile devices, tablets and desktop computers, with offline access included.

Who it's for

Choose Alert65 if you operate multiple food or hospitality sites and need one controlled environment for HACCP, risk assessments, daily checks, allergens, incidents, tasks and certification renewals. It is particularly appropriate when consultant input, onboarding workshops and round-the-clock food-safety advice are valuable. Smaller operators seeking a clearly priced, lightweight checklist app may prefer a simpler alternative.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Site- and concept-specific HACCP templates combine standardisation with local adjustment.
• Pro: More than 200 risk-assessment templates and version history provide a substantial documented starting point.
• Pro: Offline mobile access supports checks in areas with unreliable connectivity.
• Pro: Incident evidence, priority-coded tasks and certification reminders connect compliance work with follow-through.
• Pro: Role-based multi-site access, onboarding workshops and 24/7 expert support suit distributed teams.
• Con: Custom pricing gives no immediate indication of cost or how site and user growth will affect it.
• Con: Compliance reporting is custom, so buyers must validate that required reports are included in the implementation scope.

Alternatives

Traceo offers a free plan for one establishment and up to 50 HACCP records per month, making it a better fit for a small operation with modest volume.

Verdict

Alert65 is a strong choice for multi-site food operators that want consultant-shaped HACCP and risk-assessment content, offline checks, role-based governance and support that extends beyond software. Choose it for the breadth of its compliance workflow and implementation assistance. Look elsewhere if you need an immediately comparable published price, a simple small-site plan or fixed reporting without a custom scoping conversation.
