When it comes to food safety training and certification, ServSafe leads the way. The National Restaurant Association’s ServSafe Food Safety training programs are nationally recognized in all 50 states.  In fact, most jurisdictions look for and require ServSafe certifications. Choosing ServSafe is the no brainer part of the process of getting certified. ServSafe offers a few certifications, so the certification that is appropriate for you may differ than what is recommended or in some cases mandated for others.

ServSafe Manager’s Certification Training versus Food Handler’s Card are two completely different classes and certifications. We discuss the differences below:

The Food Handler’s Card is only $9.95. This class entails very basic/generic food safety training and knowledge at an employee-level position. We strongly recommend this course to  all food delivery drivers; not just restaurants, but also DoorDash, Uber Eats or Grubhub workers.  This class is also great for all staff at employee-level whether you are front or back end of the restaurant. We also recommend this course for all of our school districts, justice systems, grocery store employees and more This is a great opportunity for all employees to take a course to educate themselves and also prepare them to become a responsible food handler. This course you can take right online at work or home. The website to obtain your Food Handler’s Card through Elite Food Safety Training is www.tapseries.com/4u/efst.
