AI agent for restaurant managers

Food Handler Certification Expiry Agent

Keep every employee's required certificates valid and filed before any inspection.

Food Handler Certification Expiry Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A health inspector asks for the food handler card of a cook and it expired two months ago. The agent keeps a record of every employee's food handler, allergen and any alcohol service certificates, with issue and expiry dates and a copy of the proof. It warns each person and the manager at 60, 30 and 7 days before expiry, and offers booking options for renewals. After the renewal it checks that new proof has been filed with the right dates and name, and updates the record. When the schedule is built, it blocks suggestions that place a person with an expired certificate on a station that requires one. Edge case: a certificate from another region that is not valid locally. The manager approves any schedule override.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A certificate is valid when its date has not passed and a proof file exists. Station rules say which roles need which certificate.

  • Warn at 60, 30 and 7 days before expiry
  • Treat a missing proof file as invalid
  • Block scheduling suggestions for expired certificates
  • Accept only certificates valid for the local authority

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Warning timing (default 60, 30, 7 days)
  • Certificate types
  • Stations that need them
  • Proof storage
  • Who gets warnings

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Manager approves schedule overrides
  • Manager approves paying for renewal courses

Hard limits

  • Never schedule an expired person without approval
  • Do not store more personal data than needed

It stops when

  • Done: all certificates valid and filed
  • Stop: a certificate type is not recognized locally, ask the manager

An example run

What happensThe register lists 28 staff. On Monday, 3 certificates expire within 30 days and one cook's expired 5 days ago. The agent warns them and blocks the cook from Saturday's grill shift. It proposes another cook. The manager approves the swap. Two days later the cook's new card is filed, but the scan shows an old date, so the agent asks for a better copy.
