Forkto for Care Homes

CQC inspectors look for evidence that food is safely prepared, stored, and served. Forkto provides digital records for temperature monitoring, food safety checks, cleaning schedules, staff training, and corrective actions. Everything is searchable by date and exportable as CSV or PDF — no more digging through folders.

Yes. Forkto tracks all 14 major allergens for every menu item. You can specify which cereals contain gluten and which tree nuts are present. The allergen matrix exports as a PDF that kitchen staff can reference when preparing meals for residents with allergies, coeliac disease, or other dietary requirements.

Set up temperature locations for your fridges, freezers, dry stores, and hot-holding equipment. Your kitchen team logs AM and PM temperatures in seconds using the colour-coded slider. Out-of-range readings are flagged immediately. You can also log food cooking, cooling, and reheating temperatures for full compliance.

Yes. Each care home is set up as a separate location with its own temperature settings, check forms, schedules, and staff. Admins can switch between locations and view reports across all homes from one dashboard.

Upload food hygiene training PDFs to Forkto, create courses, and assign them to kitchen and care staff. Staff read the material on their phone and confirm they've understood it. You can set due dates and track completion — overdue training is flagged automatically.

Yes. Forkto is fully cloud-based — no servers to install or maintain on your premises. Your team accesses it from any phone, tablet, or computer with a web browser. Data is securely stored and backed up automatically. You can export a full backup of all your data at any time.
