That’s why we also offer allergy training for safer, more inclusive kitchens.

Did you know many foodservice workers lack proper training on allergens and dietary needs? This is the number one reason why guests are inclined to not return.

Build a safer, more welcoming dining experience by thoroughly training your team in allergen awareness and nutrition fundamentals. At the very forefront of our consulting services lies specialized, targeted training focused on mastering plant-based menu options, managing food allergies, and understanding nutritional science.

A lack of knowledge in these critical areas can do much more than just impact guest safety—it can significantly damage your reputation and ultimately drive customers away. Guests with food allergies or those specifically seeking plant-based options often feel discouraged, anxious, or even unsafe when staff cannot confidently or accurately answer their questions.

Garden Truck Foods proudly offers ServSafe allergen certification combined with fully customized training programs tailored to equip your team with the skills and knowledge necessary to safely and effectively serve today’s diverse, health-conscious, and discerning customer base.

Garden Truck Foods designs unique, forward-thinking beverage programs that blend creativity with sustainability.

We’ll work with you to showcase eco-conscious wines, local craft beers, and crowd-favorite mocktails—all tailored to your space and your customers.
