- Brad Peters: Welcome to the Recipe for Results. This is your podcast extra for certification in the hotel, restaurant, and bar industry, brought to you by HRB Universal. This is the brief on the Lafayette Serve Safe Food Protection Manager certification. HRB Universal is hosting an ANSI accredited event, which is the exact training food service managers need to stay FDA compliant and keep customers safe. First, let's look at the event itself. So it's happening August 10. 2026, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. with tickets between 129 and 179 bucks. You're going to get a fast-paced four-hour review lecture, then a two-hour exam. The exact Lafayette location gets sent after registration. But listen, think of that lecture like a sports huddle before the big game. Since it's just a rapid-fire review, your mandatory self-study beforehand is absolutely crucial to passing. Second, why are we studying this? Well, the FDA food code requires a certified food protection manager on duty at all times during food service. You might be wondering: is this just some bureaucratic hoop to jump through? No way. Developed by the National Restaurant Association, it's grounded in real cutting-edge FDA research and real-world job tasks to build a lasting culture of food safety. Finally, knowing those high compliance stakes, let's cover exam logistics. It's fully electronic. Bring your own laptop or use a provided Amazon Fire tablet. Make sure to grab the free mobile app too. It's basically your digital boarding pass keeping essential prep materials and last-minute venue updates right in your pocket. Need a paper test? Just request it 20 days out. Plus, it's available in English, Spanish, Chinese, and French Canadian. To get certified and keep your kitchen compliant, lock in your ticket for the August 10th session and download the app to start your self-study today.
