ServSafe logo
ServSafe is the premier provider of materials and programs specifically for the restaurant industry and is accredited by ANSI and the Conference for Food Protection. For the past 30 years, ServSafe has been an industry leading program dedicated to protecting restaurant professionals, customers, and communities from foodborne illness.
 
The Wisconsin Restaurant Association Education Foundation’s (WRAEF) mission is to support industry education and training programs. Here in Wisconsin, ServSafe is administered by the WRAEF with 100% of the net proceeds going directly towards workforce development efforts.
 
ServSafe training keeps customers safe:
  • ServSafe food safety training prevents foodborne illness in Wisconsin restaurants.
  • ServSafe certification ensures that restaurant employees follow best practices for food safety and sanitation.
  • The Wisconsin Restaurant Association takes food safety very seriously—in fact the Association was founded with the purpose of reducing the incidence of foodborne illness in our state. 

ServSafe training is an investment in employees:
  • Employees gain critical food safety knowledge from ServSafe training.
  • The ServSafe credential is earned by the employee and remains with them wherever they choose to work.
  • A vast majority of employers pay for their employees ServSafe training, rarely does an employee pay for their own certification.

The Suite of ServSafe programs include:
  • ServSafe Manager,
  • ServSafe Food Handler,
  • ServSafe Alcohol,
  • ServSafe Allergens, and
  • ServSafe Workplace which includes courses for workplace conduct and safety for both managers and employees.

WRA’s Position on the Minimum Wage

2/7/2023

0 Comments

 
The Wisconsin Restaurant Association (WRA) agrees a discussion is needed regarding the current federal minimum wage. It has been over a decade since it was increased, and those discussions are overdue. The WRA is ready to have a conversation about a balanced way to address wage levels—including preserving the tip credit—in the hospitality industry and the unique impact any change would have on the its employees and restaurant operators.
