Food Safety Training & Certification

Food safety instructors teach ServSafe, food handler, and allergen training for restaurant and food service workers.

With food safety certification required and restaurant turnover high, training generates revenue of $85,000-$290,000 with 85-95% margins.

The business requires ServSafe instructor certification, food safety knowledge, training materials, classroom or online delivery, and restaurant industry familiarity.

Services include ServSafe Manager certification, food handler training, allergen awareness training, retail food safety, recertification courses, and on-site restaurant training.

Revenue through per-student fees $15-$200.

Success factors include ServSafe proctor certification, engaging food safety training delivery, flexible scheduling (evenings, online), serving restaurants and food service, and building recurring training relationships.

Marketing focuses on restaurants, food service, catering, and institutional food.

With food safety required and restaurant hiring constant in 2025, food safety training offers hospitality certification opportunities serving food service with ServSafe credentials and restaurant relationships as considerations.
