Hospitality, vendor/suppliers and consumers face more challenges than ever before.

The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic created economic hardship and increased complexity for the hospitality industry to keep its customers and employees safe. Past food safety models no longer fit today’s health concerns. Health safety guidelines and rating systems were inconsistent across jurisdictions, making it challenging to ensure consumer or industry confidence at a national level.

We’re empowering hospitality businesses, vendor/suppliers and consumers to improve food safety.

Aligning Key Players

With a deep understanding of today’s food safety challenges, we are creating meaningful dialogue and practical solutions across the industry.

Developing Standards

Along with key partners we’ve created a nationally consistent restaurant food safety scoring system.

Our courses address the foodborne illness risks in “Serving Food Safely” & “Delivering Food Safely” with an emphasis on COVID-19.

We’re a team of educators and food safety experts working to improve public health.

“During my work as a board certified emergency department physician and department chief, a 22 year old man died from foodborne illness and it really impacted me. I decided we need to have a tool that helps people choose safe restaurants and helps restaurants improve – most are doing a good job but some are doing a poor job. Part of the problem is understanding causality and then focusing education. My team and I are members of, or have partnered, with these organizations to explore the issues.” – Dr. Harlan Stueven

JOIN THE ALLIANCE

Together we can fix problems that matter, help to ensure health and the economic viability of the industry.

The hospitality industry is comprised of many stakeholders, each with its own perspective around ensuring health safety in restaurants. Yet mitigating food-related illnesses requires all parties – the restaurants, their suppliers, health departments, the consumer and the medical community to operate as a unit that puts the public’s health above individual needs. We call this the Dining Safety Alliance, which is grounded in a shared purpose and belief in dining health safety.

The Dining Safety Alliance is dedicated to co-creating clarity in the context of the health safety challenges at hand. All parties that impact hospitality food safety are committed to meaningful dialogue to further the design of tools and resources that support restaurant health safety.
