Get to your 5, free
Use Forkto free until your next published rating is a 5, for up to 12 months. We only get paid once you're there.
Why we only get paid when you win
Most rating drops come down to one thing: Confidence in Management — the records an Environmental Health Officer expects to see, missing, out of date, or written up the night before. That's exactly what Forkto fixes. Temperature logs, cleaning sign-offs, allergen checks and traceability are completed on a phone at the point of the task, time-stamped and ready the moment an inspector asks.
We're confident enough in that to tie our own payment to your result. If you're rated 3 or below, you use Forkto free until your next published rating is a 5 — and nothing is charged unless you choose to carry on. When you reach your 5 (or at 12 months), we'll get in touch, congratulate you, and ask if you want to continue on a paid plan. The pitch isn't "now you pay": a 5 is kept day to day, and the same daily checks and records that won it are exactly what maintain it. The free period is us proving we can help; the paid plan is you deciding we did. Find out what's holding you down with our free EHO Readiness Score, or see how the food safety software keeps you inspection-ready every day.
Programme members get close support from our team — real help getting your checks set up and your records inspection-ready, not just a login. Your result is our result, in the most literal sense.
