Stop finding out a food handler card lapsed during the health inspection.

Every location needs at least one certified food protection manager, holding a ServSafe Manager certification or state equivalent renewed every few years, plus food handler cards for the rest of the crew, renewed annually or biennially depending on the state or county. In a business with some of the highest staff turnover of any industry, a multi-unit operator is re-certifying someone new every week, and a GM tracking coverage by spreadsheet across a dozen locations has no reliable way to know where a gap has opened up.

The way most groups find out is at the worst moment: a health inspector asking to see the certified manager's card and not finding a current one on file, a location losing points on a publicly posted inspection score, or a new hire working weeks of shifts before anyone confirms the food handler card was ever obtained. By then it's a posted citation, not an administrative gap.

Expiry radar across every location

Food handler cards and ServSafe Manager certifications are each tracked to their own renewal date, location by location, with reminders going out by text and email weeks before a card lapses, well ahead of any health inspector's visit.

Magic-link uploads from any location

A new hire or a manager renewing a card gets a text link, photographs it, and it's filed. No login required for a workforce that turns over constantly and rarely uses a company email.

OCR extraction

Card numbers, issuing program, and expiry dates are read automatically, so a GM confirms the read instead of typing it in from a stack of cards.

Review workflows

Every uploaded card is approved or rejected by a person, with a reason and a timestamp. A location listed as covered always has cards someone has actually checked.

E-signatures

Allergen-handling and food-safety policy acknowledgements get signed from a phone at onboarding and filed with the rest of the record.

Audit-ready exports

When a health inspector or a franchisor's compliance team asks for proof, generate a tamper-evident PDF binder for the location instead of digging through a binder in the back office.
