SmartChef is Ireland’s leading digital platform that transforms HACCP and FSAI compliance from a paperwork burden into a streamlined, chef-friendly workflow. Rooted in real kitchen experience and built for daily use, SmartChef makes it easy for food businesses (restaurants, cafés, catering operations, care homes) to remain inspection-ready, avoid lapses, and free up time to focus on what they do best: cooking.
At its core, SmartChef is built around the FSAI Safe Catering Pack, so your compliance is aligned with Irish food safety regulations from day one. With SmartChef you log deliveries in seconds (just snap a photo — the app pulls batch numbers, suppliers, expiry data), receive automated reminders for checks, track temperature readings, and get alerts before any task is missed. Everything is designed to reduce paperwork and human error while giving full visibility into kitchen operations.
SmartChef is the brainchild of two founders who bring deep expertise in both food safety and technology. Mark Long, with over 25 years of experience in food safety management and HACCP compliance, leads the domain side. Warren Harding, founder of GBA Solutions, has more than 30 years’ experience in building software platforms and operations. Together they’ve applied that combined strength to develop a solution that’s robust, intuitive, and built for real kitchens — not for spreadsheets.
If you visit us at our stand, you’ll see how SmartChef works in real time, hear how other kitchens are already benefiting, and learn which features are coming next — because your feedback helps shape our roadmap. We look forward to talking with you about how compliance can become a seamless, behind-the-scenes part of your daily kitchen workflow.
