Always Ready: Utility Disruptions

What happens if your restaurant experiences a utility disruption? It may not seem as serious an emergency when compared with a hurricane, fire, or robbery, but it could lead to a business closure and/or lost revenues.

That’s why pre-planning and a good blueprint for what to do could not only have a positive impact on the safety of your guests, but also your business’ ability to reboot quickly.

The National Restaurant Association’s Always Ready: Utility Disruptions guide will help you assess your preparedness for an electric, water, or gas disruption, and highlights best practices from leading resources, such as the Association of Food and Drug Officials, CDC, Society for Human Resource Management, ServSafe, and Steritech, on keeping damage and losses at a minimum.

Guidance includes:

• How to assess your risk
• Preparation, or what to do in advance
• What to do during an outage
• Getting your insurance information in order
• Recovery and powering back up

You’ll learn what to do during a disruption, how to assemble a crisis management team, create an emergency contact list, get your insurance information in order, and store and update your business documents.

Don’t get caught unawares. The best outcomes occur when you’re prepared and always ready. Download your copy now!
