Certification tracking for restaurants & food service
Keep every food handler permit, manager certification, and alcohol-server card current across your whole team — and never get caught off guard by a health inspection again.
No credit card required.
One expired permit can cost you your inspection score
Health scores are public
A lapsed food handler card flagged during an inspection can drop your grade — and in many cities that letter goes straight on the front door for every customer to see.
Your liquor license is on the line
Serving alcohol with expired server certifications puts your license — and your ability to sell a margarita — at real risk.
Turnover makes it impossible to track by hand
Front- and back-of-house churn means new permits constantly. A clipboard by the office door never keeps up, and the gaps only show during an inspection.
Every permit and card your team needs to serve
From the line to the bar, CertLedge tracks the certifications that keep your doors open:
- Food Handler Permits
- Food Manager (ServSafe Manager)
- Allergen Awareness Training
- Alcohol Server (TIPS / RBS)
- Bartending / Liquor License
- HACCP Training
- First Aid / CPR / AED
- Choking / Heimlich Training
- Health Department Permits
- Anti-Harassment Training
From clipboard to inspection-ready in about ten minutes

Restaurant certification tracking — FAQ
- What food-service certifications can I track?
- Any certification with an expiry date — food handler permits, food manager / ServSafe Manager, allergen awareness, alcohol-server cards (TIPS, RBS, and state equivalents), HACCP training, CPR/First Aid, and health department permits. Certification names are free-form, so anything your team holds fits.

- CertLedge emails you 90, 30, and 7 days before any permit expires. Alerts can route to a manager and optionally CC the employee, and each window can be toggled on or off.

- Yes — export a dated PDF report listing every employee and their current certification status in one click, or pull up an individual card's photo on their record.
