FAQs

What compliance training is needed for restaurant staff?

Restaurant businesses are legally mandated to provide comprehensive compliance training to their staff. This training encompasses key areas such as health and safety at work, food safety, and alcohol handling.  

The level of training varies depending on the staff member's role: all employees handling food must complete at least a level two food safety course, covering essential aspects of food handling and storage. Kitchen staff may require a higher level of training, typically at level three, to ensure they excel in advanced food safety practices. It's also imperative that all food-handling staff receive allergen training to safeguard guests with allergies. Training in alcohol sales may be primarily necessary for front-of-house workers, and managers may require additional training to adhere to legal requirements related to staff hiring.  

By adhering to these training requirements, restaurants not only meet their legal obligations but also create a safer and more compliant work environment. Tailoring the training to the specific needs of each role is essential to ensure all staff are adequately prepared and in compliance with relevant regulations.

Is food safety training a legal requirement?

In the UK, food handlers are not required to hold specific food hygiene certificates. However, it is essential for business operators to adhere to legal requirements by ensuring that their food handlers receive the appropriate supervision and training aligned with their work area.

While not every food handler needs a formal certificate, certain training in food safety is indeed mandatory. This includes staff in the hospitality sector who are involved in food and drink preparation, such as bar staff, servers, and chefs. These legal mandates are in place to guarantee that food is handled safely, and customers are protected from potential health risks.

It is vital for businesses to provide this necessary training to maintain compliance with food safety regulations and uphold the highest standards of hygiene in the industry.

How do I deliver compliance training courses to my team?

Efficiently delivering compliance training to your team is paramount, particularly for large-scale operations.

A hospitality LMS simplifies role-specific training assignment and ensures easy access, even for deskless workers, promoting flexibility and accessibility.
