Professional Food Safety Training. Real-World Experience. Personal Instruction.


When you are responsible for a restaurant, food service operation, catering business, school cafeteria, country club, hotel, deli, bakery, or other food establishment, food safety is too important to leave to chance.



You need training that goes beyond memorizing answers.


You need an instructor who understands the food business, explains the material clearly, and genuinely wants you to succeed.


That's the philosophy behind Westchester Food Safety.


Led by Frank Madaio, Westchester Food Safety provides food safety education and ServSafe Food Manager certification training for food service professionals throughout Westchester County, New York, Connecticut, and the surrounding Tri-State Area.


Your success isn't just about passing a test.


It's about understanding food safety and being prepared to use it in the real world.


Meet Frank Madaio — Your Food Safety Instructor

Behind Westchester Food Safety is Frank Madaio, an experienced food safety instructor and former restaurant owner and manager.


Frank understands what it is like to operate a food establishment.


He understands the pressure of managing employees, serving customers, maintaining food quality, controlling temperatures, keeping a kitchen clean, preparing for inspections, and staying compliant with food safety requirements.


That experience influences the way Frank teaches.


His goal isn't simply to get students through an exam.


His goal is to educate, prepare, and empower food service professionals.


Frank brings a sincere, practical approach to his classes and takes the time to explain the concepts behind food safety.

ServSafe Food Manager Certification for Food Service Professionals

Who should consider ServSafe Food Manager training?


The answer is broader than many people realize.


Westchester Food Safety provides training for professionals working in many types of food operations.


Restaurant Owners & Managers

Restaurant managers are often responsible for making sure employees follow proper food safety procedures.


Certification can provide additional knowledge and credibility when managing a food operation.


Chefs & Kitchen Managers

Chefs and kitchen leaders play an important role in controlling food safety throughout the preparation process.


Caterers

Catering operations face unique challenges involving transportation, preparation, holding, and serving food safely.


Country Clubs

Country clubs may operate restaurants, banquet facilities, kitchens, outdoor events, and large-scale food service operations.


Hotels

Hotel food service can involve restaurants, breakfast operations, banquets, room service, and catering.


School Food Service

School cafeterias and institutional food operations require employees and managers who understand proper food safety practices.


Senior Living & Healthcare Food Service

Food safety is especially important in operations serving populations who may be more vulnerable to foodborne illness.


Delis, Bakeries & Specialty Food Businesses

Westchester Food Safety Goes Beyond the Certificate

A certificate is important.


But food safety isn't just a piece of paper.


That's an important part of Frank Madaio's philosophy.


The real value of food safety education comes from understanding what you are doing and why you're doing it.


Why do we wash our hands?

Why do we monitor temperatures?

Why must certain foods be cooled quickly?

Why does cross-contamination matter?

Why should chemicals be kept away from food?

Why are employees required to stay home when experiencing certain symptoms?

Understanding these concepts can help food service professionals make better decisions every day.

That's what education is about.
