The problems we hear most in Food Manufacturing & Hospitality

Allergen information held across disconnected systems, creating recall and compliance risk

HACCP documentation completed retrospectively on paper rather than at the point of control

Batch and lot tracking insufficient to support a rapid product recall if required

Supplier traceability limited to invoice level — no ingredient-to-dish visibility

How QR Inventory is configured for Food Manufacturing & Hospitality

Fourteen allergen flags mapped to every ingredient and SKU.

HACCP checkpoint scanning

Record critical control points at the point of action, not retrospectively.

Built-in AI cross-checks records against declared allergen data and flags mismatches.

Supplier traceability

Link every ingredient to its delivery batch, supplier, and origin certificate.

Multi-site

Consistent compliance records across all production or service sites.

Common use cases

Food & Hospitality

Built and tested across 90 hospitality sites

QR Inventory's food and hospitality configuration is informed by a live internal deployment across a UK pub company operating approximately 90 sites. The system handles allergen validation across approximately 1,000 recipes using AI-powered cross-checking, with HACCP classification and food safety flagging built into the scanning workflow.

Common questions

When a product record is created or updated, QR Inventory's built-in AI model cross-references declared allergen data against ingredient records and flags any inconsistencies before the record is saved. It acts as a second pair of eyes, not a replacement for human review.

Yes. Batch and lot tracking means you can identify every site, date, and service instance associated with a specific ingredient batch — and generate a recall report in minutes.

Yes. The configuration adapts to both contexts — production lot tracking for manufacturers, service-point HACCP for kitchens and catering operations.
