PlateProof

Evidence-backed allergen compliance

The audit trail for allergen safety.

Photograph the recipe. AI reads the allergens. A named chef signs off — and that sign-off becomes the proof. When an inspector, auditor or insurer asks, produce signed, photo-backed evidence in 30 seconds.

We don’t certify the food — we make your sign-off defensible.

For the people who carry the risk

You sign for kitchens you’ll never stand in.

01The asymmetry

Get the allergens right fifty thousand times and no one notices. Get them wrong once — and it’s the story told for a decade, with your name in the report.

02The legal trap

“We always check” is not a defence. The law asks you to proveyour diligence — and today, that proof doesn’t exist.

03The risk, designed in

The most safety-critical step in your operation — copying allergens onto a card — sits furthest from the people accountable for it. Your newest hire, in any language, produces the same audit-ready, signed card as your head chef.

Turn faith into evidence.

From a binder and a prayer — to proof on demand

A corporate menu goes out to every site. Then each kitchen re-types the allergen cards by hand — the most critical control in your operation, performed under service pressure by whoever’s free. PlateProof turns the menu straight into signed, photo-backed cards — identical on every site, before anyone has to ask.

Allergens extracted and tagged by provenance — label-verified, estimate, or declared.

A human signs

A named chef reviews and signs off. They own the declaration; you hold the evidence.

4
Card & proof

Print the allergen card with a scan-to-verify QR and a full compliance record.

The drop-in card

Replaces the card you already print.

Same size, same holder — now with verified allergens, your chosen layout, and a QR a diner or inspector can scan to see the signed declaration. Zero change for front-of-house.

  • Black-&-white-first — presence shown by pill shape, so it survives a mono printer.
  • Every card names the chef who signed it, with a point-in-time record.
  • Scan-to-verify proves it’s genuine — no login.

PlateProof assists with allergen identification and record-keeping and evidences a human sign-off. It does not certify food or guarantee safety; the food business operator owns the declaration.
