Hygiene Rating Alerts, for epos and card payments
Find food businesses new to the register in your area, each week.
A new venue on the register is a dated reason to ask how it will take payments.
EPOS and card payments
A new venue is on the register before its first inspection, and the date is public.
Payment and till providers compete for a new venue while it sets up. The register lists the business, its type and its premises while it awaits its first inspection.
The alert gives you the new businesses in your area as they appear in our copy of the register, with the business type and the company behind it, so you decide who to call first.

From a real Hygiene Rating Alerts briefing
New on the register, awaiting inspection. Restaurant. Common Pizza Ltd, company 16216260
What changed. Common Pizza, a restaurant in Lambeth, is on the food hygiene register awaiting its first inspection. It is in Harrier's copy of 15 September 2026 and was not in the copy of 14 September.
Where. Lambeth, SW4 0JQ, London
Harrier Assessment: The establishment is in Harrier's copy of the food hygiene register and was not in the copy before it, and its business type says what kind of premises it trades from. The register gives the local authority, the business type and the address.
Check. Whether Common Pizza Ltd already uses a provider you know, the distance from your team to Lambeth SW4, and the business type on the register, a restaurant here.

Questions
Common questions
Does it show which till or card terminal a venue uses?
No. Nothing in the register does.
Does it show every new venue?
It shows the ones we can match to a registered company, and every briefing gives the count of those left out.
What area does it cover?
England and Wales through the Food Standards Agency's register. You choose the territory.
Can I use this for sales?
Alerts name businesses, never people, and use the premises address only. Where we cannot match a company the alert says so. Your own marketing rules still apply.
When does it start?
Today. Start the fourteen-day trial, verify your address, and the first briefing is prepared for your area. Nothing is charged.
The trial
Judge it on your own area for fourteen days
For fourteen days you receive your first briefing, then two weekly briefings, and priority changes inside your area on the day they reach us, as alerts or one daily digest. No card is taken, and nothing continues unless you choose it.
The fourteen days start when your first briefing is sent.
Chris reads every first briefing himself.
