Allergen tracking, HACCP compliance, and batch management — in one place

Food manufacturers and hospitality operators face the most demanding inventory compliance requirements of any sector. QR-Inventory embeds allergen logic, HACCP checkpoints, and lot tracking directly into the scanning workflow.

Offline-capable scanning, a tamper-evident record and evidence you can hand to an auditor.

Configured for operators in regulated & safety-critical supply chains

The problem

What we hear from Food Manufacturing & Hospitality teams.

These are the failure points operators describe before they change anything — and each one is a gap in the evidence you would need if the record were ever challenged. Spreadsheets don't survive an audit.

Problem 01

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

Problem 02

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

Problem 03

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

Problem 04

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

The configuration

How QR-Inventory is built for Food Manufacturing & Hospitality.

The platform already holds the register, the scanning workflow and the immutable audit trail. The bespoke layer is what makes the record recognisable to your team and acceptable to whoever inspects it.

Allergen management

Fourteen allergen flags mapped to every ingredient and SKU.

HACCP checkpoint scanning

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

Batch/lot tracking

End-to-end traceability from goods-in to service or dispatch.

AI allergen validation

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.

Every capability above runs on a standard smartphone camera, online or off. Confirm your own statutory scope with your regulator or assessor — QR-Inventory produces the evidence, it does not replace the duty.

Where it is used

The jobs this configuration is built for.

Most Food Manufacturing & Hospitality deployments look like one of these. If yours does, the configuration is largely written already.

Use case 01

Multi-site restaurant or pub group ingredient and allergen compliance

Use case 02

Food manufacturer batch tracking for regulatory and retail customer requirements

Use case 03

Contract catering HACCP documentation and temperature log management

Use case 04

Ingredient traceability for premium or certified products (organic, halal, kosher)

Something else? A scoping call establishes whether your workflow is a variation on one of these or a genuinely new record type.

What you get

The record, and the reason to trust it.

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.

In every Food Manufacturing & Hospitality build

A record that holds up after the fact

Whatever the configuration, the underlying record works the same way: appended, attributed and hash-chained, so nothing can be back-dated or quietly corrected.

FAQ

Questions we get from Food Manufacturing & Hospitality teams.

How does the AI allergen validation work?
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.
Can it support a product recall?
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.
Does it work for both manufacturing and service environments?
Yes. The configuration adapts to both contexts — production lot tracking for manufacturers, service-point HACCP for kitchens and catering operations.
