Why it matters for restaurants
A restaurant is a food business, and the national Food Standards Code expects you to make sure everyone who handles food has the skills and knowledge to do it safely — from the person plating on the line to the one carrying it to the table. A consistent baseline of food handler training across the team reduces the risk of a hygiene or temperature mistake, supports your induction process, and helps show an inspector or auditor that your staff understand the fundamentals.
- Cover front and back of house alike
- Train new starters as they're hired
- No scheduled class to roster around
- Only pay per staff member who passes
