I am Liam Jones. I founded Pilla after more than ten years running hospitality operations, food safety and frontline teams.

I wrote this because I keep getting asked how SafetyCulture and Zenput compare. I ran restaurants for years. I know the job: you want the floor to do the work without you chasing every check.

They renamed to Mitti on 11 August 2026. You still search for SafetyCulture. You run inspection templates, collect evidence and scores, raise issues, and you can add training, assets, sensors and lone worker if you buy those modules.

Crunchtime bought Zenput in 2022. They renamed it Crunchtime Ops Execution on 9 February 2026. You still search for Zenput. You build forms, collect photo and signature proof, and you can add labels, sensors and a kitchen KDS if you buy those products.

I built Pilla so you can turn a process you already know into a workflow on a canvas. Your team runs it on a phone, tablet or the web app. Pilla can fetch, decide and act while the work is happening. You keep the judgement calls.

If you want to try it on a process you already run, open the canvas.

Quick Summary

I would pick SafetyCulture when I want inspections, issues, training and sensors from one vendor. I would pick Zenput when I want lists bundled with labels, sensors and a kitchen KDS. I would pick Pilla when I want AI to act inside the work.

  • I would pick SafetyCulture if I needed inspections, issues, training and sensors from one vendor
  • I would pick Zenput if I needed lists plus labels, sensors and a kitchen KDS from one vendor
  • I would pick Pilla if I wanted a process I already know drawn on a canvas, with branching
  • I would pick Pilla if I wanted AI to fetch, decide and act inside the run

How did we compare them?

I ask the same twelve questions on every comparison. For SafetyCulture I used Mitti help and pricing. For Zenput I used Ops Execution help and Crunchtime docs. I used their public docs and I have not used a paid account. Where they stay quiet, I stay quiet.

What is SafetyCulture, and when should you pick it?

SafetyCulture holds inspections, issues and actions in one place. You prove the check with photos, video, signatures, GPS and scores. You raise an issue and assign a follow-up. You train the same people and watch kit with sensors. They renamed to Mitti on 11 August 2026. You still search for SafetyCulture.

I would pick SafetyCulture if I needed inspections, issues, training and sensors from one vendor. That suite is a fair reason to stay.

Trial: 14-day Premium trial. Self-serve Free plan with no time limit for teams of 10.

What is Zenput, and when should you pick it?

Zenput holds opening, closing, HACCP and brand lists in one place. You prove the work with photos, signatures, temperatures and timestamps. You flag a failed answer or an out-of-range temp. You print date-code labels, watch kit with sensors, and you can add a kitchen KDS if you buy those products. Crunchtime bought Zenput in 2022. They renamed it Crunchtime Ops Execution on 9 February 2026. You still search for Zenput. You log in at ops-execution.crunchtime.com.

When is Pilla the third option?

If the job is inspections plus training and sensors, pick SafetyCulture. If the job is lists plus labels, sensors and a kitchen KDS, pick Zenput. I built Pilla for a different job. You draw the process on a canvas. The team runs it on a phone, tablet or the web app. Pilla checks the work as it comes in and follows up when something needs you. I did not build shift scheduling, payroll, HR, date-code printers or sensors. If you need those, keep them on Zenput, SafetyCulture or another vendor. You can open Pilla the same day. Pay as you go is £199 a month with 1,500 processed workflows included, then 15p each. Enterprise is from £25k a year. Talk to us to get set up. People are unlimited.
