We implemented this software a few months ago to gain better control over our HACCP monitoring. The tool is highly intuitive and helps ensure that good hygiene practices are consistently applied. A few improvements are still in progress, but customer support is responsive and very professional. I would especially like to thank Léa for her follow-up and the constructive discussions we’ve had.”

It’s been almost a year and a half since I started using this excellent tool. Smooth performance, easy handling, and great adaptability and clarity are the four main strengths of this software. Since the menus have been integrated, it’s become even more intuitive. It saves valuable time every day, and mistakes are almost impossible. I wouldn’t go back for anything. Bonus point: the Octopus team is very professional and highly responsive.

What is the best HACCP software for a central kitchen?
The best HACCP software for a central kitchen is one that can manage high-volume production, multi-site traceability, and temperature monitoring across chilled and hot distribution systems — such as Octopus HACCP.
A HACCP solution designed for central kitchens must:
-
Ensure full batch traceability through to receiving sites.
-
Provide compliant labelling in line with food safety regulations.
-
Monitor all types of temperatures: receiving, storage, production, rapid cooling, delivery, and more.
-
Centralize data to enable fast action in the event of an audit or health inspection.
-
Guarantee up-to-date procedures and easy access to documentation.
Compared to other HACCP solutions, Octopus HACCP is more comprehensive and specifically designed for central kitchens and production laboratories. It enables:
-
Digitization of your Food Safety Management System (FSMS),
-
Monitoring of chilled and hot meal distribution,
-
Production and delivery traceability through integrations with menu planning software and built-in AI,
-
Analysis of non-conformities,
-
A consolidated overview for quality managers.
How can traceability be managed when delivering to multiple sites?
In a central kitchen or production laboratory, a single batch may be distributed to several establishments.
Thanks to integrations with menu planning software and AI, Octopus HACCP links each raw material batch to a specific production, and then to each receiving site.
In the event of an alert or product recall, you can immediately identify affected sites and access the full traceability history through the platform.
How can chilled meal distribution be secured in a central kitchen?
Chilled meal distribution requires rapid cooling after cooking, regulated temperature holding, and verification upon receipt at the receiving site.
With Octopus HACCP:
-
Core temperature recording after cooking
-
Rapid cooling monitoring
-
Validation before dispatch
-
Temperature checks upon receipt
-
Automatic archiving of records
You can easily demonstrate cold chain compliance at every stage.
Is the application suitable for central kitchens in collective catering?
Yes. The application is fully adapted to the operational and regulatory challenges of central kitchens in collective catering.
We support you in digitizing your Food Safety Management System and structuring your hygiene procedures. On-site, the platform simplifies all HACCP records: traceability, cold chain control, cleaning and sanitation plans, and documentation are centralized in one tool.
Octopus HACCP is already used by more than 400 central kitchens, production labs, and catering operations.
Does the application also work at receiving sites?
Yes. Facilities receiving the meals can perform their incoming checks directly within the application and cross-reference the data with the central kitchen.
Can the application operate without an internet connection?
Yes. The application can function offline.
Even if the Wi-Fi network is weak or unstable in the kitchen, you can continue completing your HACCP records and internal checks as usual.
Data is securely stored locally and automatically synchronized once the connection is restored.
You can therefore work with confidence, even in case of network interruption.
