How to Complete Your Monthly Reviews

We’re introducing a new and improved way to review your food safety each month.

Designed to help managers stay on top of food safety and compliance, the new Monthly Review brings key updates, issues, and checks into one easy-to-review task.

From 1 June, ChompHQ managers will be able to complete a Monthly Review directly within the Kitchen app.

What’s included in the Monthly Review?

The Monthly Review allows managers to review and comment on:

• any previous month issues
• untrained staff
• task changes
• supplier updates

This helps ensure food safety processes are being followed and records are kept up to date.

New Zealand Customers

In February 2025, the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) updated the Simply Safe & Suitable record blanks to include a new internal verification form.

This form is designed to help kitchen managers regularly verify that food safety and suitability are being properly managed within the business.

Chomp's new Monthly Review has been designed to support this process digitally, making monthly verification easier and more streamlined.

Australian Customers

The Monthly Review has been designed to help managers regularly check that food safety processes are being followed and records are up to date.

By bringing important updates and checks into one place, it makes it easier to stay on top of compliance and identify any areas that may need attention.

How the Monthly Review Works

From 1 June, the Monthly Review task will automatically be added to your plan.

The task resets monthly and must be completed within that calendar month. If it isn’t completed in time, it will expire and be marked as incomplete on your audit report.

In ChompHQ, you’ll see a countdown under the Internal Review section on the Audit page showing how many days remain to complete the review.
