Kitchtech

What Kitchtech does

Kitchtech (legal name Compliance Software Systems DMO Limited) is an Ireland-based, privately held SaaS company that sells digital HACCP and food-safety compliance software to commercial kitchens in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Founded and incorporated in Dublin in March 2019, it operates as a single integrated platform accessible via web app at app.kitchtech.ie and through a tablet front-end, replacing paper HACCP books with electronic forms, cleaning checklists, customisable form builders, a notifications engine, secure cloud storage with 5+ year retention, and reporting. A differentiator is its proprietary IoT refrigeration-sensor hardware that automates temperature monitoring and reduces manual recording by up to one hour per day in a large kitchen; an eLearning portal (elearn.kitchtech.ie) provides accredited Food Safety (HACCP) Level 1 & 2 courses and KitchTech system training with group rates.

The company monetises through recurring Monthly and Annual SaaS subscriptions (auto-renewing, 12-month minimum for Annual, month-to-month for Monthly), one-time hardware sales of tablets and sensors, a paid 30-day trial, and fee-based online training. Its go-to-market is a mix of direct B2B online sales (Book a Demo, self-serve sign-up), an inside-sales motion, channel partnerships (The Food Safety Company, Restaurants Association of Ireland, Licensed Vintners Association, Chef Network), and content marketing via blog and social channels. Customers span cafés, restaurants, pubs, hotels, multi-venue hospitality groups (e.g., Press Up Group across 50 locations, Base Pizza across 7 sites), and a healthcare kitchen (Bon Secours Hospital Galway), with the company claiming 900+ commercial kitchens trusting the platform across Ireland and the UK.

Core offering

Kitchtech sells a cloud-based HACCP compliance software platform that digitizes food safety recordkeeping for commercial kitchens, replacing paper-based HACCP books with electronic forms, cleaning checklists, automated compliance reporting, and a multi-venue management dashboard. The offering is complemented by proprietary IoT refrigeration sensors that automate temperature monitoring and by an adjacent eLearning platform delivering accredited HACCP training courses for kitchen staff.

Product overview

KitchTech operates a single integrated HACCP compliance software platform (the "KitchTech Software") augmented by IoT hardware and an adjacent eLearning offering rather than a multi-product portfolio. The core platform — the KitchTech HACCP Compliance Software — delivers paperless HACCP recordkeeping, cleaning checklists, reporting, and a multi-venue dashboard, and is tightly coupled with the KitchTech Fridge Sensors add-on for automated refrigeration temperature monitoring. The KitchTech Custom Form Builder and Notifications Engine are native modules within the same platform, enabling configurable forms, scheduled checklists, and critical alert workflows. Sits alongside this platform is the KitchTech eLearning Platform (elearn.kitchtech.ie), which delivers the KitchTech HACCP System Training Course and the Food Safety (HACCP) Level 1 & 2 Online Course as complementary certified training products for kitchen staff.

Broad incumbents

• SafetyCulture (iAuditor): Australia-headquartered broader safety and operations platform with food-safety checklists and sensor integrations; competes with Kitchtech for multi-venue hospitality groups but operates across a much wider safety/compliance footprint.
• SGS SaaS Solutions: Global food testing, inspection and certification company extending into digital food-safety software; represents a large, well-capitalised incumbent that could enter Kitchtech's niche with stronger regulatory and brand credibility.

Direct peers

• FoodDocs: EU-based (Estonia) cloud SaaS for HACCP and food safety compliance, with built-in monitoring checklists and sensor integrations; competes with Kitchtech on automated digital HACCP recordkeeping for food businesses across Europe.
• Safefood 360: Ireland-based food safety management software platform offering digital HACCP, supplier management, and compliance modules to food manufacturers and hospitality operators; directly comparable to Kitchtech in product, target customer (food businesses), and HACCP-led value proposition.
• Smart Food Safe: Cloud-based food safety management software providing HACCP, document control, and audit management modules; overlaps directly with Kitchtech's core SaaS offering for food businesses.
• BizzMine: Compliance and quality management software with a dedicated food-industry edition covering HACCP and food safety documentation; comparable QMS-style approach to Kitchtech's digital recordkeeping.
• Checkit: UK-based operations and compliance platform with temperature-monitoring sensors and digital checklists targeted at food service and retail operators; comparable UK-market competitor with similar IoT-plus-compliance model.
• ComplianceMate: Commercial-kitchen food safety platform combining IoT temperature sensors with digital checklists and compliance dashboards; the closest hardware-plus-software analogue to Kitchtech's sensor bundle.

Emerging players

• Jolt: Operations and food safety platform built for restaurants and hospitality groups; overlaps with Kitchtech's multi-venue checklist and compliance use cases, though broader in scope.
• Food Safety Plus (1FoodSafety): Online HACCP and food handler training provider that increasingly bundles digital recordkeeping tools; comparable to Kitchtech's training-plus-software stack for SMB food operators.
