How Taybl replaces the SFBB book

Short answer: Taybl’s Food Safety module digitises the full Safer Food Better Business pack — the SFBB Diary, opening/closing checklists, fridge & freezer temperature logs, cooking/cooling/reheating checks, delivery logs, supplier records, and staff training/certificate documents — so nothing lives in a paper folder anymore.

Why it matters

Paper SFBB diaries get filled in all at once at the end of the week, checklists go missing, and training certificates expire quietly in a drawer — until an inspector asks for them.

What it does

SFBB Diary that completes itself

Completed maintenance, out-of-norm checks and recipe changes are written to the diary automatically. Chefs add a closing note, and the four-week management review reminds you when it's due.

Opening & closing checklists

Customisable per venue and shift, completed in seconds on the staff app, with exception alerts to managers the moment something's wrong.

Fridge & freezer temperature logs

Set safe ranges per unit; two readings a day expected (opening + closing), flagged instantly if out of range.

Cooking, cooling & reheating checks

2-tap records for hot holding, cooling and reheating, with reminders for ongoing checks.

Delivery & supplier records

Log delivery temperatures, notes and supplier details against a shared supplier database.

Documents & training records

Certificates, insurance, policies and staff training records stored with expiry alerts to your phone.

Backfilling with accountability

If a record's missed, staff can add it after the fact with a required reason, and the manager gets notified — so the diary stays honest, not just complete.

What it costs

Monthly fee £49 per venue
Food Safety + Bookings £99 per venue
Food Safety + Rotas £79 per venue
Rotas, Bookings & Food Safety £139 per venue
Team members Unlimited, every plan

One thing worth knowing

Checklists ship pre-built to the SFBB pack, then you edit them to match your kitchen — Taybl won’t write your food safety policy for you, but it gives you the structure to build it properly.
