Food Service Compliance Software — Food Handler Cards & ServSafe Tracking

Track food handler certifications, ServSafe, food hygiene level 2, and allergen awareness certs — automatic alerts before anything lapses.

14-day free trial · No credit card required

Food service businesses face strict local health department inspections in the US and Food Standards Agency (FSA) ratings in the UK. Operating with an expired food handler card or uncertified kitchen manager can result in instant inspection score downgrades, fines, or temporary shutdown. Certivenza gives restaurant managers and operators complete visibility of staff certifications across all locations.

The compliance challenges food service & hospitality businesses face

Without a dedicated system, lapsed certifications and missed renewals put your business at risk.

Food handler card tracking on high turnover staff

Hospitality has high employee turnover. Tracking 3-year food handler card expiry dates across part-time, seasonal, and student workers is nearly impossible on paper.

ServSafe Manager certificate expiry goes unnoticed

Every shift must have a certified food protection manager present. If a manager's ServSafe credential expires, the entire restaurant is out of compliance during health inspections.

UK Food Hygiene Level 2 & Allergen training

UK food safety law requires all food handlers to be trained in food hygiene and allergen awareness. Lapsed training damages your Food Hygiene Rating Score.

Multi-site location tracking

Restaurant groups with multiple venues struggle to see which sites have compliance gaps before health inspectors show up.
