The Project
CompliChef already handled the full compliance stack for UK food businesses — digital kitchen logs, staff HR, and recruitment across KitchenPortal, StaffPortal, and RecruitPortal. The next step was bringing real AI directly into those workflows as a native assistant — not a bolt-on chatbot, but something that understands food safety law, HR requirements, and hospitality hiring.
Alice AI is that assistant, powered by Anthropic Claude and integrated across all three portals under a single £19/month add-on.
The Five User Features
🔥 KitchenPortal — kitchen.complichef.co.uk
Compliance Audit Alice reviews the business's active compliance records — temperature logs, cleaning schedules, opening checks — and generates a plain-English audit report highlighting gaps, risks, and recommended actions before an EHO visit. It's like having a food safety consultant on call, 24/7.
CCDFSM Builder The Cook Chill, Display, Freeze, Serve & More (CCDFSM) documentation is a legal requirement many kitchens struggle to produce correctly. Alice generates fully compliant CCDFSM records based on the kitchen's menu and processes — cutting what used to be hours of paperwork down to minutes.
👥 StaffPortal — staffportal.complichef.co.uk
AI Rota Planner Alice analyses shift patterns, staff availability, absence history, and coverage requirements to generate an optimised weekly rota. Managers describe their constraints in plain language and Alice builds the schedule — reducing the back-and-forth and surfacing conflicts before they cause problems on the floor.
🎯 RecruitPortal — recruit.complichef.co.uk
CV Analyser Alice reads incoming CVs and scores each candidate against the job brief — summarising strengths, flagging gaps, and ranking applicants so hiring managers see the best fits first. No more reading through 40 applications to find three worth calling.
Social Post Writer Alice writes job listing copy and social media posts to help food businesses promote open roles — platform-appropriate captions for Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, ready to copy and post in seconds.
Feature 6 — Social Content Hub (Founder Only)
Built exclusively for the CompliChef founder, the Social Content Hub extends Alice into full marketing territory:
- Social post generation — platform-specific captions written to brief across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and X
- AI image creation — on-brand food and hospitality imagery generated from a text prompt
- Blog writing — long-form articles drafted for SEO and the CompliChef audience
- Content scheduling — posts and blogs queued and scheduled for auto-publish
Everything a solo founder needs to stay visible and consistent online — without context-switching out of the platform.
Result
Five AI tools shipped across three portals, available to all CompliChef subscribers as a single add-on. Plus a sixth tool that handles the founder's entire content operation. Real AI (Anthropic Claude) across the whole kitchen operation — from compliance audit to Instagram caption.
