Track Food Handler Certifications

Treat certifications like any other inventory with expiration. At hire, capture card type, issue date, expiration, image or ID, and store it in the system of record tied to the employee profile. Automated thirty day and seven day warnings should hit both employee and manager.

Define what happens when a card expires: pulled from certain stations, assigned remediation module, scheduled proctored retake if required, and documented sign off when cleared.

Avoid quiet coverage where leads pretend not to notice because the shift is short. That is how inspections and insurance headaches stack.

Sync training policy to reality. If grill requires current certification, schedules and task permissions should match the policy you publish.
