Twenty dishes, four dietary variants, packed Thursday for the weekend: every container that is packed before service needs a full ingredients list with allergens emphasised, and every buffet dish needs its allergen information beside it. Hot food held for service has to stay at 63°C, and a delivered platter is distance selling as well as a pack.

And how ProvenBatch helps you meet each one.
On every plan
Print allergen cards per dish, or put up a QR code for your live allergen menu, so a guest can check without stopping the line.
On every plan
Add everything you are making that day to one batch and print each recipe’s labels together, packed onto shared sheets.
Pro
The hot-holding log on Pro sits in the food safety diary, against the same figure the inspector uses.
Pro
The Inspection pack on Pro is a dated export of the checks, sign-offs and labels as recorded, nothing summarised.
The regulator's own guidance: GOV.UK: introduction to allergen labelling for PPDS food.
Every business gets labels from the batch, the allergen matrix, counter cards and QR menu, the health check, and lot codes that trace.
For Caterer, these tools start on: Orders and customers, Hot food, Opened packs.
Held until you switch them on: Trade and wholesale, Markets and events, Process readings and weights, Selling other makers' food, Meat and approved premises, Selling online, Gift and selection boxes.
Planned pricing after the beta. Caterers with regular orders usually want Standard (£19) for orders and roles; a bigger kitchen takes Pro (£39) for the food safety diary and the Inspection pack.

Pro
A platter packed before it is ordered is PPDS and needs the full label. Sold by phone or online and delivered, it is also distance selling: allergen information before the customer buys, and again when the food arrives.
Yes. Settings holds the type, and you can change it. The tools you already use stay visible; anything newly relevant is offered, and you choose what to switch on.
No software can promise that, and you should be wary of any that does. Legal responsibility for a food label always rests with the food business operator: you. What ProvenBatch does is make it much harder to get wrong: labels are derived from your real data, uncertain batches are blocked rather than guessed, and everything is recorded so you can prove what you did.
