Hours saved daily, instant traceability – just some of the benefits The Beaumont Mayfair enjoys using Kelsius

Operating at five-star standards leaves no room for compromise, especially when it comes to food safety. At The Beaumont Mayfair, a luxury London hotel with multiple kitchens, dining areas, and service environments, maintaining compliance across departments was becoming increasingly complex.

The Challenge

Before introducing Kelsius FoodCheck 2.0, the team relied heavily on paper-based processes. This created unnecessary administration, limited real-time visibility, and introduced risk around record accuracy, particularly during busy service periods. In an environment where rapid access to accurate data is critical, this approach left gaps in traceability and audit readiness.

 

 

Following implementation of the Kelsius system, the impact was immediate.

Digital workflows replaced manual checks, allowing kitchen teams to complete tasks quickly and consistently using probes and tablets. Management gained instant oversight across more than 20 refrigeration units, with automated monitoring and alerts helping prevent stock loss and reduce risk. Reporting, once time-consuming, is now accessible in seconds, supporting daily operations and audit preparation.

Hours saved daily, instant traceability

The hotel estimates a time saving of two to three hours per day, driven by faster checks, automated monitoring, and streamlined reporting. Beyond efficiency, the shift to tamper-proof digital records has strengthened due diligence and eliminated the risk of falsified entries.

Crucially, the system provides instant traceability across all operations, from goods-in to cooking compliance, while remaining flexible enough to match the hotel’s HACCP requirements.

Today, Kelsius is embedded across the Beaumont’s kitchens, pastry, private dining, and bar operations. The result is a more controlled, consistent, and confident approach to food safety, one that meets the expectations of a five-star environment while freeing up valuable time for staff to focus on service.

Ardingly College uses FoodCheck 2.0 from Kelsius: “…alerts help protect us from costly stock losses…it gives us real peace of mind…”

Ardingly College is a leading independent school in West Sussex, providing education and pastoral care for a large pupil community. The College operates a high-volume catering operation delivering daily meals for pupils alongside front-of-house hospitality for events, summer programmes, and visitors. Food safety, due diligence, and consistency are central to the catering team’s responsibilities.

The Challenge

Food safety management at Ardingly College previously relied on paper-based HACCP systems. This created a significant administrative burden, with multiple folders and binders requiring constant updating.

Paperwork frequently became damaged or incomplete in kitchen environments, and missing sheets caused frustration during inspections. Paper processes also created risk around record integrity during busy service periods, with limited assurance that checks were completed correctly and at the right time.

In addition, refrigeration failures during weekends or holiday closures had previously resulted in significant stock losses before issues were identified. The College required a more reliable, audit-ready system that reduced risk, saved time, and strengthened due diligence.

The Solution

Ardingly College looked to Kelsius’ FoodCheck 2.0 solution to reduce the administrative workload and paperwork, improve compliance and inspective preparation, and reduce time spent on food safety procedures and manual checks.

Results

Results achieved using FoodCheck 2.0 included:

  • Around two hours saved per day.
  • Paper records eliminated.
  • Reduced reliance on manual checks with 24/7 automated fridge and freezer monitoring.
  • Stock loss prevented thanks to early alerts.
  • Weekly compliance reporting consolidated into a single digital summary.
  • Improved EHO confidence.

Kelsius has become a core part of daily operations at Ardingly College, delivering stronger audit readiness, improved accountability, reduced waste risk, and greater confidence that food safety standards are being upheld consistently across the catering operation.
