As a venue operating in the UK, it’s a fact of life that we must be compliant with quality standards. In other words, documenting our operational compliance is a legal requirement for every bar and restaurant to pass compliance audits, health & safety inspections, and proper risk assessments.
But it isn’t just ticking off things from a checklist of compliance guidelines, it’s also good to practice to keep your venue Covid-19 secure and the best it can be for everyone.
Compliance checks are a big part of running any bar or restaurant, we’re talking daily, weekly, and monthly checks covering everything from opening & closing to operations & fire safety. The usual process for many is to use paper checklists that get scanned and put somewhere they will never see the light of day. Up until you spend an hour looking for them, that is.
But with every new health & safety guidelines emerging following COVID 19, it might be time to consider a new approach that won't leave you with headaches trying to keep up with the ever-growing list of new regulations.

If you manage multiple locations, you will have a master login for your company where you have a topline overview of compliance checks across all of your venues. HOPSY even provides you with a compliance score as part of our compliance package that lets you know exactly how each venue is performing.
This ensures that no checks are missed as the relevant member of your Management team will be alerted when checks are required.
Managers can see where compliance has not been met and appropriate actions can then be taken to ensure standards are met. This is then stored in a compliance record which can demonstrate your commitment to compliance.
An online system is time-stamped so acts as evidence that compliance checks were conducted so you can demonstrate our commitment as a business to meeting health and safety guidelines.
We closely monitor the mandatory regulations around the pandemic to include and introduce new legal requirements. An example of this could be the implementation of temperature checks being introduced to the start of the day as part of your daily operations checklist, with hopsy you don't have to worry about changes like this sneaking up on you so there's no need for compliance experts or consultants because it all included in our compliance package.
