Red Book Solutions Partners With the National Restaurant Association

Two Trusted Industry Leaders Create Top Performer Tools

Red Book Solutions today announced a partnership with the National Restaurant Association to create valuable tools for restaurant industry professionals. Through this partnership, Red Book Solutions has created National Restaurant Association Editions of The Manager’s Red Book, The Heart of the House Yellow Book, and The Bar Green Book. These editions include critical materials from the National Restaurant Association’s ServSafe and ServSafe Alcohol programs.

“We are thrilled about the partnership with the National Restaurant Association and the ServSafe and ServSafe Alcohol programs,” said Greg Thiesen, Chief Executive Officer of Red Book Solutions. “Both organizations know that owners, operators, and managers are charged with running a profitable operation. However, most of their day is spent managing people, resolving daily issues, and executing corporate policies, procedures, promotions, and other issues. The problem is the day-in and day-out matters that focus on surviving the day, so they can do it all over again. At Red Book Solutions, we work with companies to reinforce practical application and take deliberate action to improve results everyday. It’s all about performance improvement and turning managers into top performers.”  

“The ServSafe Food Safety and ServSafe Alcohol programs provide the highest standard in training and certification in the industry,” said David Gilbert, Chief Operating Officer, National Restaurant Association and Executive Director, National Restaurant Association Solutions. “We are pleased to partner with Red Book Solutions. Together, we can provide the most valuable tools for restaurant industry professionals.”

Additional benefits include:

• Reinforces food safety and responsible alcohol service
• ServSafe and ServSafe Alcohol guided action steps on how to deal with kitchen and bar safety issues
• Improves energy cost savings with monthly green audits
