Compliance and certification alert reminders

Purpose

1. Automate compliance and certification alert reminders to ensure staff and operations management in gastropubs proactively maintain required food safety, alcohol service, health certifications, and regulatory deadlines.

2. Automator monitors expiry dates for legal permits, food handler licenses, and required training, then automatically distributes progressive reminders to designated staff or management.

3. Automation reduces human error, prevents lapsed compliance, and supports audit readiness by generating digital logs of all alert transmissions and acknowledgment responses.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automation triggers when certification or compliance record expiry approaches predefined thresholds (e.g., 30, 7, 1 day).

2. Automatedly detects new certifications entered or updated in staff profiles, initializing countdown to next alert cycle.

3. Automates follow-up triggers if previous alerts are unacknowledged by responsible parties.
