New Seafood Safety Training Video

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Bureau of Seafood Marketing and the Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association have partnered on a Wait Staff Training Video.  This is an interactive learning tool created to help anyone in the restaurant industry answer questions from the public regarding the safety of Florida seafood.  The video takes approximately 20 minutes to view and is designed for wait staff and chefs in restaurants across Florida.  The video is online and free to anyone who would like to use it.  The site does not require the user to sign in.

The training video is set in a typical Florida seafood restaurant with wait staff working with customers in a casual environment.  The video directs the wait staff participant to determine which method used by wait staff instills the most confidence in Florida seafood for customers.  The video also is directed at chefs by providing a conversation with the Department’s Chef Justin about the quality of fresh seafood.  Additionally, Chef Justin demonstrates an award-winning recipe.  A portion of the video also addresses further questions that wait staff and chefs might have about Florida seafood.

Do your part to instill consumer confidence in Florida Seafood, encourage your staff to take part in this educational video training today!
