Food Safety with Safer Plates

The July OneClick Webinar announced a new partnership with Food Safety specialist Mike McMahon, founder of Safer Plates. With years of experience in identifying critical safety gaps, Mike shared practical strategies designed to help stores not only meet but exceed inspection requirements. He highlighted how many food safety issues arise from overlooked “blind spots” in daily operations and provided actionable advice for building robust, repeatable systems that ensure compliance without adding unnecessary complexity.

“What we've tried to do is build a process and a system that allows you to be consistent in your approach to food safety across the restaurant, and our entire process is built to support the work that you do every day.” – Mike McMahon

Mike emphasized the value of proactive monitoring and staff training, stressing that food safety is not a one-time task but a culture that must be cultivated. He encouraged operators to conduct regular internal audits, stay ahead of regulatory updates, and leverage technology like OneClick to track and document critical procedures. “It’s about creating habits and systems that prevent small mistakes from becoming big problems,” Mike explained. His consultative approach focuses on practical solutions that fit seamlessly into existing workflows, allowing teams to work smarter, not harder.

One of the standout messages from Mike McMahon during the webinar was the idea that food safety isn’t just a checklist—it’s a culture. He emphasized that true food safety excellence requires a mindset shift across the entire team, not just management.

“You want to grow and improve your food safety culture so that it doesn’t matter if somebody’s been there a week—food safety becomes a culture-wide issue, not just a leadership issue.” – Mike McMahon

Mike encouraged attendees to create systems and routines that embed safety practices into daily operations, ensuring that every team member, from new hires to seasoned staff, contributes to maintaining high standards. By fostering this kind of culture, food safety becomes second nature rather than a task to be completed.
