Hospitality & Food Vendor Rapid Compliance Kit

An Environmental Health Practitioner can walk into your food premises or stop your food truck at any time. If you can't produce the right documents on the spot, you risk an immediate closure notice.

This kit gives you the 10 non-negotiable documents every food business must have on site — explained, organised, and ready to present. From the Certificate of Acceptability to temperature logs, food handler training records to waste disposal plans — it's all here.

What's inside:

• The 10 documents the EHP will ask for — and why each one matters legally
• Regulation R638 compliance checklist covering premises, transport, and handling
• Food handler hygiene training register template (ready to complete)
• Temperature monitoring log (daily use format)
• Water source and waste disposal declaration templates
• Pest control record template
• What "conspicuous display" means in law and how to set up your folder correctly
• What happens if you fail an inspection — and how to remedy it fast
