We recognize that your restaurant is an integral part of the history and fabric of your community. As you make plans to welcome customers back to your dining room, we want to help you spread the word. The ServSafe Commitment provides customers with the assurance that your restaurant is carefully following the recommended COVID-19 Operating Guidance and is ready for business.

As you re-open, we invite you to take the ServSafe Dining Commitment

along with our Dining Partners.

The ServSafe Dining Commitment is a part of a multi-faceted multi-million dollar program designed to showcase the restaurants who have demonstrated their ongoing commitment to the health and safety of their employees and guests by signing the ServSafe Dining Commitment. 

The program will be supported by a national advertising campaign inviting diners back into your restaurants and to your tables. The campaign will take place across broadcast, print, and digital platforms and will feature the ServSafe Dining Commitment logo and urging diners to learn more about the steps restaurants are taking to keep them safe. When diners observe the Commitment logo decal on a restaurant window, returning diners know your restaurant is following the Association’s COVID-19 Operating Guidance, local guidelines, and have ServSafe certified employees.  

Check out supporting State Restaurant Association's who have developed their state-wide promise.

• Spread the word that you are open for business
