If customers knew that most restaurants’ food safety protocols were based on paper forms that are largely ignored and virtually never reviewed, maybe they would be more discerning in their dining choices. Executives should take heed, lest your organization become the next warning symbol. Restaurant industry leaders need to take food safety seriously. Part of that shift includes utilizing new technologies—ranging from digital “smart checklists” to automated sensors—to transform daily behavior.

The current food safety process is broken, and needs to be fixed in restaurants nationwide and globally. Having mobile ordering software and LED screens for menus is helpful and valuable. But food safety is the most important component of every restaurant (and other food service companies).

The San Francisco, Calif.-based company, formerly known as MeWe, builds mobile software to manage compliance, quality assurance and brand standards.
