Running a foodservice operation—whether it’s a restaurant, cafeteria, grocery store, or catering business—means managing more than just menus and staff. At the core of every establishment’s success is food safety. What many operators don’t realize until inspections or audits is that every U.S. state requires at least one Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) to be on duty during all hours of operation.

This requirement isn’t just a suggestion—it’s law. Health departments enforce it because it directly impacts public health. So how do you stay compliant without disrupting operations? That’s where the ServSafe Manager Certification Course with remote proctoring comes in.

Why Every State Requires a CFPM

The FDA’s Model Food Code sets the baseline: at least one certified food manager must be present in a foodservice facility at all times. States adopt and enforce this to ensure:

  • Reduced risk of foodborne illness
  • Improved staff training and accountability
  • Higher inspection scores and fewer violations
  • Greater customer confidence

The Challenge with Traditional Certification

In-person classes and test centers create real hurdles:

  • Time away from work—missed shifts or using days off
  • Limited scheduling—few exam dates/times
  • Travel costs—driving to distant testing sites
