- 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 Charlotte Serve Safe Food Protection Manager Examine course. This essential ANSI-accredited certification event by HRB Universal is perfectly designed to keep food service managers completely compliant with the FDA food code. First, let's talk timing and purpose. This event hits Charlotte, North Carolina on August 27, 2026. It fulfills that strict FDA requirement to have a certified person in charge on duty during all food prep and service. You know, it's not just some boring piece of paper. It's literally your driver's license for running a safe, compliant kitchen. Second, we've got the schedule and prep. Check-in starts right at 8:30 a.m. Jumping into a super fast-paced review lecture from 8:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. Now think you can just walk in and wing it without any prereading? No way. Skipping the required HRB Universal Portal self-study is just a guaranteed recipe for disaster. After lunch, the exam kicks off exactly at 2 p.m. Don't be late because they absolutely do not allow late entry. Finally, let's cover logistics and tech. Tickets are 179 bucks for the full review. Or just 129 if you only show up at 2 p.m. for the test. The exam is totally electronic, meaning no more number two pencils. Bring your own laptop or tablet or use a provided Amazon Fire tablet. Also, make sure to download the free HRB Universal app, because that's where the final room location is revealed once registration closes. Ultimately, this one-day intensive is your absolute fastest, most direct route to locking down food safety compliance and protecting your customers in Charlotte.
