Essential 8 for foodservice logo

What is Essential 8?

Essential 8 is a comprehensive approach that identifies opportunities in your facility to help you achieve cleaner, healthier, safer, more productive, and more sustainable facility management and operations. In every foodservice operation, there are 8 essential functions for success: Receiving, Storage, Preparation, Cooking, Holding, Service, Safety, and Facility Care.

These eight key functions apply to all foodservice establishments and every single product in the non-food category. Essential 8 identifies opportunities in each of these touchpoints with outcomes resulting in a safer, healthier, more productive, and more sustainable facility.
