SafetyCulture (Mitti) Alternatives for Restaurant Groups

SafetyCulture is now Mitti. Eight alternatives for restaurant groups, with prices checked 2 November 2026 and the per-seat vs per-location math.

SafetyCulture renamed itself Mitti on 11 August 2026. It's the same app (the one that started life as iAuditor), with the same logins and templates and the same per-seat prices: free for up to 10 seats, then $24 per seat per month on annual billing or $29 month to month. For a restaurant group with 2 to 15 sites, the alternatives worth a demo are Crunchtime Ops Execution (formerly Zenput), SmartSense Operate (formerly Jolt), Xenia, Operandio, GoAudits, FoodDocs, Connecteam and TenorOps.

We make TenorOps, so read our row with that in mind. Every competitor price and feature below comes from the vendor's own site or announcement, checked on 2 November 2026, and the links are at the end. Prices are in US dollars unless marked.

SafetyCulture alternatives compared (prices checked 2 November 2026)

For reference, Mitti's free plan covers up to 10 seats and 5 active inspection templates, and its fixed price per location for multi-site teams is quote only.

Per seat or per location: what hourly teams cost

Restaurant checks are done by whoever is on shift: the opener, the line cook taking temperatures, the closer. A five-site group can easily have a few dozen of them, so the way a tool counts users moves the bill more than the headline price does.

Mitti has three seat types. Full seats are the $24 Premium seats and can start unlimited inspections. Lite seats are meant for frontline staff, but Mitti's help center says they can start one inspection a month (12 a year on annual billing). Guest seats are free and can start three inspections in total. The pricing page doesn't publish a lite seat price. If your cooks run daily temperature logs as Mitti inspections, expect them to need full seats, and ask Mitti to confirm that for your setup.

Here's what that means at list price for five sites billed annually, with everyone who runs checks on a full seat:

Who runs the checks	Mitti Premium	TenorOps AI Plus
3 managers per site (15 seats)	$4,320 a year	US$1,245 a year
3 managers and 5 hourly staff per site (40 seats)	$11,520 a year	US$1,245 a year

Two caveats keep that table honest. Mitti also offers location-based pricing, one fixed price per site with unlimited users, but only by quote, so ask for it alongside the seat quote. And per-site pricing isn't always the cheaper model. If one area manager does every audit for eight sites, a single GoAudits Starter user at $10 a month on annual billing costs less than any published per-site price on this page. Per-user prices also vary widely: Connecteam's Operations Basic charges $0.80 a month for each user beyond the first 30 on annual billing.

Staying on Mitti can be the right call. If a handful of managers do all the checking, the free plan or a few Premium seats costs little. Mitti also covers ground TenorOps doesn't, including lone-worker check-ins and, in the US, Mitti Insurance, which ties cover to your operational data. Mitti says more than two million frontline workers across 80,000 organizations use it.

The alternatives, one by one

Crunchtime Ops Execution (formerly Zenput)

Zenput is now Crunchtime Ops Execution, and zenput.com forwards to Crunchtime. It sits in a suite that also covers food cost and inventory, labor scheduling and kitchen display, which Crunchtime says more than 850 restaurant brands use. Ops Execution schedules line checks, opening checklists, audits and food safety tasks. It works with Bluetooth temperature probes and automatic temperature monitoring, prints food labels, and uses AI to flag photos that are blurry, of the wrong thing or below brand standard. If you also run Crunchtime Kitchen, temperature checks can appear on the KDS.

It suits brands already on Crunchtime and franchise systems with complex hierarchies. It's stronger than TenorOps on food labels, and on everything in the back office beyond checklists. In the demo, ask for a written quote for your site count, which other Crunchtime modules it assumes, and how a failed line check reaches an owner who isn't on site. Our TenorOps vs Crunchtime comparison goes further.

SmartSense Operate (formerly Jolt)

Digi International announced on 18 August 2025 that it had bought Jolt, and folded it into its SmartSense business. In January 2026 SmartSense launched SmartSense ONE, seven modules: Operate (checklists, tasks and SOPs), Monitor (sensors), Guard (probe-based food safety), Assure (audits), Service (maintenance), Label, and Schedule (shifts and time tracking). jolt.com now forwards to a SmartSense welcome page, and the old pricing page goes to a quote form.

Operate lists can record fridge and freezer temperatures automatically from SmartSense Monitor, and can be set to send alerts when a task is missed or a reading is out of range. That makes it a good fit for a group that wants sensors, labels, scheduling and checklists from one vendor. Ask which modules your quote includes, what the sensors and their connectivity cost, and how long the contract runs. If you're on Jolt today, ask what changes for your existing lists. Our guide to Jolt alternatives covers the move in more detail, and the TenorOps vs Jolt comparison goes deeper on checklists.

Xenia

Xenia sells checklists, audits and corrective actions, team chat and document storage, with temperature sensors (Bluetooth and LoRaWAN), work orders, asset QR codes and food prep label printing as add-ons. Its pricing page lists Basic and Pro at custom prices per location and says it offers both per-user and per-site pricing. It also runs a pilot program and says pilot pricing carries into the full rollout.

Xenia suits groups that want maintenance requests and daily checks in one place. Ask for per-site and per-user quotes side by side, which add-ons you need for temperature monitoring, and who closes a corrective action once a check fails. More in our TenorOps vs Xenia comparison.

Operandio

Operandio is aimed at franchise and multi-unit operators. Alongside recurring tasks, checklists, inspections and corrective actions, it has a mobile learning system with quizzes and certificates, asset tracking and preventive maintenance with work orders, wireless temperature sensors, a prep labeling system, supplier management, and a workflow for opening new locations. Pricing depends on the number of locations or users and the modules you choose. There's no free trial, but Operandio offers a pilot.

It suits franchisors who want training and brand standards in the same system as daily checks, and groups that open sites often. Ask which modules make up your quote and what the pilot includes. Our TenorOps vs Operandio comparison has more.

GoAudits

GoAudits is the closest thing on this list to the old iAuditor: a mobile inspection app with scoring, photo, timestamp and GPS evidence, offline use, instant PDF reports and action plans. Its restaurant page covers food safety and HACCP checks, mock health inspections, opening and closing checks, and area-manager audits. Prices are public and per user: Starter is $10 and Enterprise $30 per user per month on annual billing. Starter covers up to 25 locations and 10 checklist templates, and roles, scheduling and notifications are listed with Enterprise. Action assignees are free and unlimited, and GoAudits offers to set up your existing checklists at no charge.

That makes it a strong fit for audit programs run by a few area managers or a QA lead. If hourly staff will run daily checks themselves, ask how many paid users that means. Lumiform is a similar form-and-inspection app with a page for restaurant chains; ask for a quote, since its published prices vary by plan and region.

FoodDocs

FoodDocs is food safety software built around HACCP: monitoring tasks, prompted corrective actions and a real-time overview of every location. It prices per site with unlimited users. Lite is $79, Standard $167 and Professional $250 per site per month on annual billing ($99, $199 and $299 month to month), with a 14-day trial that needs no card. Lite is described as desktop monitoring. The mobile monitoring app with notifications, the HACCP plan builder and the allergen overview start on Standard, and traceability and recall data come with Professional.

It suits groups whose main need is inspector-ready food safety records, and central kitchens that need batch traceability. It's stronger than TenorOps on writing HACCP plans. If you also want brand-standard audits, training or maintenance, check how much of that it covers. See TenorOps vs FoodDocs.

Connecteam

Connecteam is a workforce app for deskless teams: a GPS time clock, shift scheduling, forms, checklists and tasks in its Operations Hub, plus chat and HR hubs. Pricing is per user but sold in blocks. Operations Basic is $29 a month for the first 30 users on annual billing ($35 monthly), then $0.80 for each extra user ($1.00 monthly). Advanced is $49 and Expert $99 for the first 30. The Small Business plan is free for up to 10 users, and paid plans start with a 14-day trial without a card.

Connecteam covers one thing TenorOps doesn't: shift scheduling. If building rotas is half of what you need, it belongs on your list. In the demo, take a failed checklist item through to the fix and look at what a manager can review across locations. Our TenorOps vs Connecteam comparison has the detail.

TenorOps

TenorOps is our product, built for restaurant groups. Checklist steps can be Yes/No, a number with an allowed range (a reading outside it fails), multiple choice, a photo or a signature. You can require a photo, insist on the live camera, and record GPS. Temperature checks can come straight from Bluetooth probe thermometers or wireless fridge sensors, each reading saved with a tamper-proof timestamp. Scheduled checks turn overdue at their due time and are marked missed an hour later, and a missed check stays on the record as missed. A failed check sends the manager an SMS alert and lands on their Needs attention list, where they acknowledge it or open a corrective action with an assignee and due date, then review it and close or reopen it. TenorOps also tracks food handler certificates and warns you before they expire, keeps your approved suppliers and their insurance renewals, maintains your allergen matrix, and logs timesheet changes for payroll compliance. There are dashboards across locations, training courses with a test, maintenance jobs and tickets, and checklists work offline. AI Plus includes a daily allowance of AI photo checks, which flag photos for a manager to confirm or dismiss. AI Max makes those unlimited and adds inventory: AI reading of delivery bills, lots, transfers, stock counts and recalls by lot.

Here's what it doesn't do. There's no shift scheduling, and there's no import from Mitti, so you rebuild your checklists in TenorOps.

Pricing is per location, not per user. For one location, AI Plus is US$29 a month or US$249 a year, and AI Max is US$49 or US$369 (in the UK, £29 or £189 and £39 or £279; in Canada, CA$39 or CA$329 and CA$59 or CA$489). Prices exclude tax, location bands make each site cheaper as you add more, there's no setup fee, and new accounts get a 15-day free trial. It suits groups where hourly staff run the checks and the owner wants proof and follow-up without paying per head. See the pricing calculator and our TenorOps vs Mitti comparison.

How to choose: a checklist for your demos

Count the people who will run checks, not the people who manage them. Price that number per seat and your site count per location, and ask Mitti and Xenia for both kinds of quote.
Bring one real failure. Say the walk-in reads 45°F at 2 p.m. Watch who sees it, how fast, who fixes it and who signs it off. Our corrective action log shows what a finished record should hold.
Skip a check on purpose. Leave the 3 p.m. temperature log undone and see whether it shows up as missed or quietly disappears.
Try to fake a photo. Upload yesterday's picture from the camera roll and see whether the tool takes it. Our guide to photo proof checklists covers what good evidence looks like.
Price sensors separately. If you want automatic fridge temperatures, get hardware, installation and connectivity costs in writing.
Ask who rebuilds your checklists. Some vendors set them up for you; with others, TenorOps included, your team rebuilds them.
Decide where scheduling lives. If you want shift scheduling in the same app, Connecteam and SmartSense's Schedule module offer it. TenorOps doesn't.
Read the contract terms: annual or monthly billing, minimum seats or sites, and whether pilot pricing holds at rollout.

Frequently asked questions

Is SafetyCulture now called Mitti?

Yes. SafetyCulture rebranded as Mitti on 11 August 2026, and safetyculture.com now redirects to mitti.com. You'll see "Mitti (by SafetyCulture)" while the change rolls out, and Mitti says templates, inspection history and logins carry over.

Is iAuditor still available?

The app is, under a new name. iAuditor had already been renamed SafetyCulture, and the same app is now Mitti; Apple's App Store lists it as Mitti (by SafetyCulture). Mitti's old iAuditor page now describes the product as Mitti, formerly iAuditor.

Did prices change with the rename?

Not the seat prices. SafetyCulture's pricing page showed Premium at $24 per seat per month on annual billing ($29 monthly) in July 2026, and mitti.com shows the same now. Location-based pricing, listed as an Enterprise feature in July, is now offered to multi-site teams by quote. Mitti bills in US dollars everywhere except Australia and New Zealand, which matters for UK and Canadian groups.

Can I move my SafetyCulture checklists to another tool?

Ask each vendor before you sign. GoAudits offers to set up existing checklists for free. TenorOps has no import, so you rebuild each checklist, which is a good moment to drop the steps nobody does properly.

What happened to Zenput and Jolt?

Zenput is now Crunchtime Ops Execution, and zenput.com forwards to Crunchtime. Digi International bought Jolt in August 2025; it's now part of SmartSense ONE, jolt.com forwards to a SmartSense welcome page, and the old pricing page leads to a quote form.
