What is ServSafe?

Think about it: when you go to a restaurant or coffee shop, you want to know that the person handling your food and drink is doing it correctly to prevent the spread of germs. You also want to trust that the food is being stored at the proper temperatures so that you don’t become sick from something spoiled. One bad review or case of food poisoning can damage the reputation of a restaurant. So how can restaurants ensure that every person on staff who may handle food or beverages knows how to do so? The easiest way is through training, testing, and certification.
