The Fox Pub & Kitchen is a stylishly refurbished gastropub in Flixton, Manchester, serving freshly prepared classic dishes alongside cask ales, premium spirits and cocktails. With a constantly changing menu showcasing fresh seasonal ingredients and a busy seven-day operation, the team needed compliance tools that were as polished as their food offering.
The Fox had been using Leafe for their compliance management but found the user experience lacking. Staff weren't engaging with the platform properly because it was difficult to navigate, and the functionality didn't cover everything the venue needed. For a busy gastropub with high standards, compliance couldn't be an afterthought — it needed to be seamless.
"Our previous system was more of a hindrance than a help. The team dreaded using it, which is the opposite of what you want from a compliance tool."
- Luke Millington, Owner
Aquaint replaced Leafe with a mobile-first platform that staff found intuitive from the start. Temperature logging, daily checklists and team communication were consolidated into one app. The management team gained clearer visibility into daily operations, and staff engagement with compliance tasks increased significantly because the tool was genuinely easy to use.
