Frequently asked questions
Straight answers before you apply.
Is the pilot free?+
Yes. There is no cost to join the FTA hosted pilot, and submitting a pilot request does not commit you to anything.
Is FTA a regulator or certification body?+
No. FTA is an independent restaurant transparency platform. It is not a government authority, council, or regulator, does not carry out food hygiene inspections, and does not issue official ratings, certifications, or approvals.
What information will be displayed?+
Your public profile presents structured, date-stamped records you provide — such as allergen communication, dietary information, and preparation practices — alongside public hygiene inspection references where available.
Can the restaurant review its information?+
Yes. Pilot restaurants get owner access to review and update their own transparency profile. Structured submissions are reviewed by FTA before anything is published publicly.
How much time is required?+
Applying takes about 2 minutes. If accepted, we walk you through setting up your profile together, with no setup required on your end.
What happens after applying?+
Applications are reviewed promptly, and suitable restaurants will be contacted with the next steps. If accepted, we walk you through the platform together before anything is published publicly.
Who is eligible?+
The pilot is especially relevant for independent restaurants, vegan and plant-based restaurants, gluten-free restaurants, allergy-aware venues, health-focused cafés, and other restaurants that care about customer trust.
