Leicester College saves 264 hours by moving to a digital food safety system

Leicester College Chooses Navitas Digital Food Safety

Case Study |

Digital food safety makes the grade!

We welcomed Leicester College to our Navitas Safety family in 2019 and we’ve loved being able to support them with their food safety ever since. 

Leicester College is one of the largest colleges in the UK, catering to over 20,000 students and 1,500 staff across 3 campuses. Some very exciting alumni have passed through their doors, including Gok Wan, celebrity fashion designer and TV presenter, and Aaron Patterson, the Head Chef at Hambleton Hall, who studied Culinary Arts at Leicester College and won his first Michelin Star at the young age of 23.

Richard, the Commercial Catering Services Manager, spent so much of his time running between 3 different campuses, in a flurry of food safety paperwork. Realising there must surely be an easier way to do this, Richard got in touch with Navitas Safety and the rest is history. 

After using Navitas Safety for over a year, Richard has been able to save over 264 hours by moving to Navitas Safety’s Digital Food Safety platform

“Before Navitas Safety, we were using pen and paper processes which were so basic and labour intensive, but since going digital it has massively reduced paper and time spent on food safety tasks.

We’re now saving 5 and half hours a week of time and labour costs, which equates to 264 hours across the year! We have been able to redistribute this time back into customer service and improve the experience that our customers receive. Plus, we are also saving the paper and printing costs.

What stands out about the system is the simplicity of it: everything is there at the touch of a button and the administration is so simple, it’s all in front of you on the screen and takes seconds. It’s incredibly accurate and the equipment and readings are so precise.

If another college asked me about using the system, I’d say 'Why wouldn’t you use it?' Quite simply in this day and age it makes everything more accurate, saves countless hours and certainly makes my life much easier."
