Your reputation is on the line. 
If you're an owner of a foodservice establishment, you likely know the importance of safe food handling and what a customer's negative experience can do to your image. The CDC estimates that there are as many as 47 million cases of foodborne illness in the U.S. each year. It is very important to be sure your employees understand how to prevent these kinds of incidents.

ServSafe® offers a variety of classes that will teach managers and employees safe practices to keep your restaurant’s operations running smoothly. The Food Safety Program for Managers will teach managers how to create a culture based on food safety by focusing on actual jobs tasks as defined by real foodservice professionals. The program will provide an update on the latest FDA Food Code, food safety research and food sanitation training experience. The Food Safe Handler Program is a rudimentary, yet complete course that is meant for employees. The short course focuses on five key areas: Basic Food Safety, Personal Hygiene, Cross-Contamination & Allergens, Time & Temperature, and Cleaning & Sanitation.

Along with food safety, they also offer classes for responsible alcohol service. There are certain risks that go along with serving alcohol and it is imperative your staff knows how to properly handle any tricky situations that may arise. This class can help you prevent situations that lead to fines, imprisonment, loss of liquor license, increased insurance costs or even loss of your business. A small monetary and time investment into the program is worth avoiding those serious and avoidable issues related to alcohol service.
