Sick of the Food Control Plan Headache? You’re Not Alone.
If you’re a Kiwi café, restaurant, or food business owner, chances are you didn’t get into hospitality to become an expert in council forms, acronyms, or box-ticking bureaucratic ballet. You got into it to feed people, create a vibe, and run a business you're proud of.
But somewhere between the fryer and the front door, you’re hit with this tangled mess:
Food Control Plans. Registrations. SSS templates. MPI requirements. Traceability records. Staff training logs.
Oh — and that crusty three-ring binder you haven’t touched since opening day?
Yeah, apparently it’s not complient!
Welcome to the joyless maze of Food Control Plans in New Zealand — where getting your food business registered feels more like prepping for a tax audit than opening a café.
You’re handed a stack of vague forms, conflicting advice, and a “template” that might as well be in Sanskrit. Each council has its own spin on what’s acceptable. The online guidance is like a recipe missing half the ingredients. And just when you think you’ve nailed it?
Boom.
Wrong format. Wrong template. Wrong bloody everything.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, you’re:
Short-staffed (again)
Chasing your veggie supplier
Trying to stop the dishwasher from flooding
And figuring out who forgot to order the eggs
But sure — let’s drop everything to build an SSS template from scratch and decode risk-based measures with the clock ticking.
That’s where we come in.
