Restaurants are signing the ServSafe Dining Commitment. When patrons see the ServSafe Dining Commitment logo on a restaurant website, menu, or door, they have the assurance that the restaurant has publicly declared its dedication to food safety. Restaurants who make the pledge focus on four key areas:

1. Adherence to the National Restaurant Association COVID-19 Operating Guidance and/or your corporate brand guidelines. Corporate brand guidelines should be based on the FDA and CDC’s COVID-19 recommendations.

2. Adherence to the laws and guidelines of your state and local municipalities.

3. Having a minimum of one person per location with a valid ServSafe Food Protection Manager Certification (best practices for all managers)

4. Having 75% of all employees trained as a ServSafe Food Handler and ServSafe’s COVID-19 Training (free).

Make the Commitment.
