Domestically in the USA we have implemented a series of initiatives and programs developed with the top expert organizations in the industry, the National Restaurant Association NRA and Center for Disease Control and Prevention CDC.

Whether you are the VP of Operations, the General Manager of an independent luxury resort, the Director of sales and Marketing for a convention hotel or the owner of a smaller boutique property, there are many prudent steps to minimize the pain and, more importantly, prepare for better days.
In terms of Food Safety Perception and Accuracy, your actions need to be marketable to your audience, the first question to answer is how should you be budgeting your resources after the coronavirus pandemic?
As a rule, if you can maintain some of your budgets during this time of crisis, then you should do so. A short pause is understandable, but historic data and research have proven time and again that companies that actively pursue training during a time of crisis experience higher sales and net income than those going dark, all thanks to a more capable group of associates when it comes down to properly serve your clientele. At minimum, you should not cut more than 50 percent of your training, educational and marketing budget, this needs to be viewed as an investment spend approach.
Also, there are many things you can do now while you have the available time that can be greatly beneficial for future business. Therefore, today I would like to request a phone conversation with you to define what program looks best for your operation and learn what other ways we can assist your business needs.
Once again, I want to extend all my gratitude for this opportunity to serve you preparing your teams to your well-deserved reopening.
