Founding kitchens: ChefsRecords Pro free for 3 months

For UK food businesses that apply by 23:59 UK time on 31 March 2027. Applications opened on 12 November 2026.

The short version

  • Pro free for 3 months for one kitchen.
  • Open to every UK food business that applies by 23:59 UK time on 31 March 2027. There is no limit on numbers: every business that meets the terms below and applies in time gets the offer.
  • You need an iPhone. ChefsRecords is an iPhone app, and the person who sets up the kitchen needs an iPhone.
  • It simply ends after 3 months. We never ask for a card, nothing is charged, and it does not renew.
  • If you work for the business rather than own it, ask the owner or your manager before you apply.
  • We will ask for a setup call and your feedback. We will never ask for a review.

Pro normally costs £34.99 a month or £349.99 a year (App Store prices, including VAT). After the 3 months your kitchen moves to the free plan, unless you choose to subscribe in the app.

Download on the App Store

The full offer terms are further down this page.

How to apply

  1. Create your kitchen in the iPhone app. Download ChefsRecords from the App Store and set up your kitchen. The person who sets up the kitchen is its billing Manager.
  2. Apply on our contact form. Open the contact form for this offer, where "Founding kitchen offer" is already chosen. Use the email you registered in the app. Tell us your name, your kitchen's name and type (for example a cafe, pub or care home kitchen), and a line on how you will use ChefsRecords.
  3. We switch Pro on. We reply within 5 working days. If your kitchen meets the offer terms, we switch Pro on and your 3 months start that day. The app then shows "Free from ChefsRecords until" the date it ends, in Settings.

Applying is free.

What Pro includes

Pro is the full ChefsRecords plan, as shown in the app and in the plans on our home page:

  • Up to 50 team logins
  • Unlimited staff records and suppliers
  • Tasks: give a checklist to one person
  • 5 photos per incident
  • Training and certificate expiry alerts
  • Right to Work reminders
  • Return to Work interviews with signature
  • Reports up to 24 months back
  • Everything in Standard: all 11 reports with PDF and email export, custom recurring checklists and the stock expiry tracker

What we would like from you

These are requests, not conditions. If you cannot do any of them, your free period carries on.

  • Use ChefsRecords for your real kitchen records.
  • Join a setup call and two short check-in calls of about 15 minutes each, at times that suit you.
  • Tell us about problems and ideas through our contact form.

We want honest feedback, good or bad. We will never ask you for a review or a rating.

What happens after 3 months

Pro simply ends. We never ask for card details for this offer, and nothing is charged.

Your kitchen moves to the free plan, unless you choose to subscribe in the app. If you subscribe before the 3 months end, Apple charges you from that day, and the free days left are not carried over. Pro costs £34.99 a month or £349.99 a year, and Standard costs £19.99 a month or £199.99 a year. These are App Store prices and include VAT.

The free plan has one team login, for the billing Manager. If your team has more logins than that, some are paused until you subscribe or remove people, as set out in section 3 of our Terms of Use.

No records are deleted, and a Manager can still export them. We will email you about 14 days and again 3 days before your free period ends.

Offer terms

ChefsRecords founding kitchens: offer terms

Last updated: 12 November 2026

  1. Who runs this offer. Łukasz Babral, a sole trader trading as ChefsRecords, 1 Tudor Court, High Street, St Albans AL2 1JZ, support@chefsrecords.com ("we", "us").
  2. Who can apply. A food business operating in the UK, for example a restaurant, cafe, pub, hotel, takeaway, caterer, care home or school kitchen, that will use ChefsRecords for its real kitchen records. You must be 18 or over and apply for the business, not as a private individual. If you work for the business rather than own it, you must have permission from the owner or your manager before you apply. One free period per kitchen site. You cannot apply if your kitchen already pays for a ChefsRecords plan (Standard or Pro) or has had a free Pro period from us before, or if it is a business that we or our close family (partner, parent, child, brother or sister) work for. ChefsRecords is an iPhone app, so the person who sets up the kitchen needs an iPhone.
  3. Dates. Applications opened on 12 November 2026 and close at 23:59 UK time on 31 March 2027. We will only change the closing date if something outside our control makes it unavoidable. If that happens, we will say so at the top of this page with the date of the change, and nobody who applied in time will lose out. There is no limit on numbers. Every business that meets clause 2 and applies in time gets the offer.
  4. How to apply. Create your kitchen's account in the ChefsRecords iPhone app first. Then use our contact form at chefsrecords.com/contact/?topic=founding, where "Founding kitchen offer" is already chosen. Give your name, the email you registered in the app, your kitchen's name and type, and a line on how you will use ChefsRecords. Applying is free. We will reply within 5 working days. Please apply as the kitchen's billing Manager (the person who set up the kitchen, or the Manager billing was later passed to). If someone else applies, we will ask the billing Manager to confirm by email from the address on their ChefsRecords account, and we will not turn the application down for that reason. If the form does not work for you, email support@chefsrecords.com with the same details. We treat that as the same application, received when your email reaches us.
  5. What you get. The ChefsRecords Pro plan free for 3 months for one kitchen, starting on the day we switch it on. Pro normally costs £34.99 a month or £349.99 a year (App Store prices, including VAT) and includes the features shown in the app and on chefsrecords.com. There is no cash alternative, and the free period cannot be sold or passed to another business.
  6. Whose account. The free period is on the ChefsRecords account of the billing Manager. If billing passes to another Manager of the same kitchen during it, tell us through our contact form and we will move the rest of the free period to their account. It does not start again.
  7. What happens after 3 months. Pro simply ends. We never ask for card details for this offer and nothing is charged. Your kitchen moves to the free plan unless you choose to subscribe in the app. If your kitchen then has more team logins than the free plan allows, some logins are paused as set out in section 3 of our Terms of Use. No records are deleted, and a Manager can still export them. We will email you about 14 days and again 3 days before the free period ends. If you subscribe in the app before the 3 months end, Apple charges you from the day you subscribe, and the free days left are not carried over.
  8. What we would like from you (requests, not conditions). Use ChefsRecords for your real records. Join a setup call and two short check-in calls of about 15 minutes each, at times that suit you. Tell us about problems and ideas through our contact form. If you cannot do any of this, your free period carries on. We want honest feedback, good or bad.
  9. No reviews. We will never ask you for a review or rating as part of this offer, and nothing about your free period depends on what you say about us. If you choose to review ChefsRecords anywhere, please mention that you had Pro free as a founding kitchen. We will only quote you or use your name, your kitchen's name, logo or photos if you agree separately in writing, and we will say next to it that your kitchen had Pro free.
  10. How we use your details. We use your application and your account email to check you can join, switch Pro on and run this offer, and notes of our calls to improve ChefsRecords. See "Founding kitchens: your information" on this page and our Privacy Policy at chefsrecords.com/privacy/. Please do not put staff names or health details in messages or calls.
  11. Ending early. You can stop at any time by telling us through our contact form. We may end your free period early only if you break our Terms of Use, gave false information when you applied, or try to sell or pass on the free period. We will tell you why and, where the problem can be put right, give you the chance to do so first. If we stop offering ChefsRecords altogether, our Terms of Use apply.
  12. Our other terms. These terms add to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Where they differ, these terms apply to the offer. Records you keep about staff are covered by the Data Processing Agreement in the app, as for every kitchen.
  13. Changes of owner. If we move ChefsRecords into a limited company, we may transfer these terms to it. We will tell you, and what you get will not change.
  14. Law. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.

Founding kitchens: your information

  • Who we are. Łukasz Babral, a sole trader trading as ChefsRecords, 1 Tudor Court, High Street, St Albans AL2 1JZ, support@chefsrecords.com. We decide how this information is used (we are the controller). We are registered with the Information Commission under number ZC274190.
  • What we use. What you send on the contact form (your name, email, kitchen name and message), the email on your ChefsRecords account, and notes of our calls and any feedback you choose to give us.
  • Why, and on what basis. To check you can join, match your application to your account, switch Pro on, remind you before it ends and run the offer. We need this to provide the offer you applied for (contract, UK GDPR Article 6(1)(b)). We use notes of calls and feedback to improve ChefsRecords. That is in our legitimate interest in making the app work better for kitchens (Article 6(1)(f)), and you can object to it at any time.
  • Do you have to give it? We need your name, the email on your ChefsRecords account and your kitchen's name to check your application and switch Pro on. Without them we cannot give you the offer. Calls and feedback are up to you.
  • Who else gets it. Cloudflare runs the form and protects it from spam (Turnstile). Resend delivers your message to our inbox. Our inbox is a Google (Gmail) account, so Google stores your message. RevenueCat switches Pro on for your kitchen: it gets your ChefsRecords account id, never your email. Cloudflare, Resend and RevenueCat act for us under written data processing terms; Google runs Gmail under its own terms. Some of these companies are in the United States; our Privacy Policy explains how your data is protected when it leaves the UK.
  • How long we keep it. If you do not join, we delete your application within 3 months of the closing date. If you join, we keep it, with notes of our calls, until 12 months after your free period ends.
  • Your rights. You can ask to see, correct or delete what we hold, to limit how we use it, to get a copy to take elsewhere, and to object to how we use it. If you are unhappy with how we use your information, tell us first at support@chefsrecords.com or through our contact form and we will reply. You can also complain to the Information Commission (ico.org.uk).
  • Emails. We will only email you about your application and your free period. We will not send you marketing emails.
  • The offer bar. If you close the founding kitchens offer bar at the top of our website, that choice is saved in your browser's local storage (not a cookie) so the bar stays closed. It is never sent to us. To remove it, clear this website's data in your browser settings.

Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

Reviews and quotes

  • We never write, buy or ask for fake reviews, and we never ask anyone to leave only positive reviews.
  • Founding kitchens get Pro free. We never make that depend on a review, and we ask anyone who reviews us after receiving it to say so.
  • Any quote we publish is real, agreed in writing by the person quoted, and shown with a note if their kitchen had Pro free.
  • If you think a review or quote about ChefsRecords is not genuine, tell us through our contact form.
