Katy said: "It's been fabulous working with Arthur’s - they have a great team who are passionate and keen to learn.

Whilst 0 ratings can cause irreparable damage to a business' reputation, a five-star rating is a great marketing tool and something to shout about - not to mention the possibility of poisoning or even killing a customer due to poor hygiene, allergens or intolerances.

Katy added: "It’s a real minefield and key reasons for not achieving 5 stars are no food safety management system, failure to follow one, lack of knowledge, lack of staff training, bad habits or simply being too busy.

"Sometimes even just not filling out paperwork can cause a business to fail. I’m on a mission to bridge the gap and protect businesses and their customers."
