Food Manager, Food Handler, Responsible Vendor alcohol training, or a combination across locations – we’ll help you sort it out.
Online for any state. On-site at your location – we travel. Or in-person at one of our scheduled classes across Florida.
Your team completes training, receives documentation, and gets tracking support so you know who is current, who is expiring, and who needs renewal.
One Training Partner for Every Location
Scalable compliance training for restaurant groups, bars, franchise operators, and hotel F&B teams.
Whether you operate three restaurants or thirty – in one state or fifteen – managing compliance shouldn’t require a different vendor at every site. We coordinate training across your entire portfolio: online for distributed teams, on-site for any location, and in-person where our scheduled classes run.
One point of contact handles your account – not a ticketing queue or a different rep at every location. We sync with your operations or HR lead, build a schedule that fits how your team evolves, and notify you before any certification expires. You don’t chase us; we chase your compliance for you.
Multi-State Coverage – Online certification in all 50 states. On-site training available nationwide. One vendor for portfolios that span state lines.
Not every training provider understands restaurants, bars, hotels, and the realities of daily operations. Here’s why hospitality businesses choose Serve It Up Safe.
DBPR-approved in Florida. ANAB-accredited Food Manager credentials are recognized in nearly every state. We build programs around the actual regulations your operation answers to – not a one-size-fits-all national module that ignores state-specific requirements.
We focus on restaurants, bars, hotels, and food service operations – not every industry under the sun. That focus makes our training more practical for owners, managers, and frontline hospitality teams.
Real instructors. Real interaction. In-person and live options that build actual competence – not a click-through slideshow your team forgets by tomorrow.
Call and get a person. Email and get a response. We work to schedule on-site sessions around your operating hours – not the other way around.
The cost of missed training, expired certifications, or poor documentation can be far higher than the cost of getting your team trained correctly.
took compliance seriously before an incident occurred. When questions come up, organized training records are the first thing your insurance carrier and your attorney will ask for.
Health inspectors – DBPR in Florida, your state’s equivalent elsewhere – check certifications on every visit. Expired or missing certs can lead to violations, fines, and follow-up inspections.
One foodborne illness incident can destroy years of reputation with guests, staff, and regulators. Compliance training is the most cost-effective brand protection you can invest in.
Your liquor license is your most valuable and most vulnerable asset. Responsible Vendor training reduces over-service risk and gives your license a documented defense if there’s an incident.
Requirements vary by state. In Florida, every food service establishment generally needs certified food protection manager coverage and food handler training for applicable food employees. Most other states require equivalent Food Manager certification through ANAB-accredited programs, and many require or recommend Food Handler training. If you serve alcohol, Responsible Vendor training can help support responsible service practices and risk management. Tell us your business type, location, and team size, and we’ll point you to the right training path.
Food Handler training starts at $7 per person. Food Manager certification ranges from $129 (self-study + exam) to $179 (private on-site class + exam). Responsible Vendor alcohol training starts at $29 per person, with private on-site sessions available at a flat rate of $599. Group and multi-location pricing is available – contact us with your team size and number of locations for a custom quote.

If you want a training partner – not a one-off certificate vendor – we can help.
