About Flint
Our Story
Flint was built from a real-world hospitality problem by experienced venue owners.In 2016, we opened Annie and the Flint, a speciality coffee shop in the seaside town of Ilfracombe, North Devon. With a background in IT—developing and hosting applications for clients around the world—it quickly became obvious there had to be a better way to manage EHO records than the standard paper-based approach.
So I built a system for our own venue: something that kept food safety and compliance records organised, without pulling staff away from service. The goal was simple—reduce the daily admin grind, remove the stress of “is everything filled in properly?”, and make it easy to stay inspection-ready.
Once we’d proven it in our own business, we realised this wasn’t just our issue. Keeping on top of paperwork and daily checks is a pain point across the industry, so we designed Flint to work for any hospitality venue, regardless of size or setup.
We’ve been improving Flint ever since—adding new features and refining the platform based on what venues actually need day to day. And when you join, our onboarding and support team are there to help you get set up and running smoothly.
Why Flint is different
Flint is built for busy UK hospitality teams who don’t have time for paperwork or chasing checks during service. It keeps your compliance and day-to-day ops in one place, so you can stay organised, reduce stress, and feel confident you’re always ready for an EHO visit.Unlike other systems, Flint is one simple platform with one flat monthly fee — £29.99 per venue/month — with no add-ons, no feature paywalls, and no hidden extras. Start with a free 7‑day trial and get set up quickly with support on hand if you need it.
