Food Safety Audits & Inspections

Not sure if your employees are safely managing your back of-the-house food service operation?

Want to know about possible code violations BEFORE the Health Department shows up for their yearly inspection?

Need to determine if your food production, food quality and customer service standards are consistently followed to ensure the satisfaction and safety of your customers?

Or, do you simply need a trusted third party to help you assess how well your managers and staff are performing on a day-to-day basis?

We are SERIOUS about food safety and desire to help our restaurant clients establish protocols to be successful. Verify International’s Get Verified! internal auditing program lets your customers AND your employees know you are as serious about safety and quality as you are about making a profit.

Every year, in the U.S. alone, food poisoning causes:

• 1 in 6 Americans (over 50 million) to get sick
• 130,000 hospitalizations
• 3,000 deaths
• Over $75 billion in losses

The general public trusts the integrity of the food service industry to monitor adherence to critical safety regulations during all stages of the farm-to-fork process. We add an additional layer of trust and believe that responsible and caring professionals in food service can benefit by utilizing our affordable, unbiased Internal Food Service Auditor program.

Verify International’s internal food safety audits offer customized front and back of-the-house food safety, customer service, and operations/risk assessments. We partner with you to develop and implement a continuous improvement effort that reflects your unique brand standards. The key word here being “continuous.” Unless audits are conducted on a consistent, and reasonably frequent basis, then it’s hard to know whether problems that arise are isolated cases or negative patterns. Each food safety audit provides a “scorecard” that measures performance and staff adherence to critical food safety , customer service, and food quality standards.
