# Training & Safety

## Safety Meets   
Service

The best dining programs are rooted in training and care for the food service team — which in return means a better experience for your diners. Our teams are well equipped for the job at hand: from food allergen training and understanding health codes to customer service strategies, our training programs have it covered.

## At Creative Dining, we see the direct correlation between happy and trained employees and their level of commitment, engagement and productivity. Our most recent employee survey showed that 94% of our employees strive to do their best at work every day, which is good news for your diners.

##### Setting the standard.

We place high importance on all levels of quality assurance and safety. Creative Dining requires all food service managers to be ServSafe® Manager and Allergen Certified. In addition to local health department inspections, we independently contract with a third-party company, Steritech, to provide on-site food safety and sanitation assessments annually.

## Quality Assured

Our team uses on-site inspection software to ensure consistent, real-time measurement of quality, documentation and sanitation standards. The app automates inspections, checklists and forms, which are completed monthly by our team at each location. Several key features include centralized, real-time cloud-based dashboards, the ability to add photos with detailed comments, desktop reporting and more.

## Environmental

At Creative Dining, we are a growth oriented company that embraces triple bottom line decision-making: people, planet and profit. True sustainability means caring for all three of those “P’s.” Through our GROW™ program, we support initiatives like compostable serviceware, food waste reduction and rescue, water conservation, and local food sourcing.
