“We have used, and continue to use, the SafeCheck Advanced Online Food Safety Certification Course for our employees at Boston Pizza. The course is well organized and extremely user friendly. It is simple for each staff member to register and they find it very easy to navigate through the site once the course is under way.
The excellent course material is on point and relevant to the safety needs of today’s modern restaurant. It has permitted our staff to be much better prepared to operate in a safe consistent manner on a day-to-day basis. This has led to less mistakes, higher quality food preparation and happier guests who complain less and return as delighted customers more often.
I recommend the SafeCheck Food Safety Certificate to any restaurant looking to better prepare their staff and improve their overall operations. Great value for the money spent and so easy for staff to complete.”
