Certification of catering services

The aim of this project is to enhance the level and quality of catering services provided. This is ensured jointly by the Czech Association of Hotels and Restaurants and its partner, company HASAP GASTRO Consulting , s.r.o.. The set target is achieved by generating such standards for catering services that are based on the Czech and EU legislatures effective for the gastronomy area. Their significant part is the application of principles of proper hygienic and production practices (SHVP) and the implementation of the HACCP systems. The standards will be propagated further both in terms of the AHR CR itself and also towards the general and professional publics.

The main reason why the customer should be using the services of the so certified companies is the above-standard assurance of the quality of hygiene embedded in the products. Through regular audits, the certified establishments have to prove that they answer to stringent hygienic requirements, which in many respects are stricter than the relevant legislative requirements. Such operations can then identify themselves with the certificate „Safe Catering,“ which is guaranteed by the company HASAP GASTRO and by the AHR CR.

The project of certification of catering services commenced as early as in the year 2005 as a result of co-operation of the former National federation of hotels and restaurants of the CR with the company HASAP GASTRO Consulting, s.r.o.. The main objective of the project was, and it remains to be to this date, to highlight the importance of escalating level and quality of the offered catering services. Standards have been created for the catering services that are based on the legislature of the Czech Republic and the EU and cover the area of gastronomy, and which rest above all on the principles of proper hygienic and production practices (SHVP) and on the established HACCP systems.

Those operations, which want to evidence that the services rendered by them indeed comply with the given requirements and want to obtain the certificate vested by the Czech Association of Hotels and Restaurants, will undergo a catering services audit. On the basis of this audit, which is carried out by a representative of the company HASAP GASTRO Consulting, s.r.o., it is decided on the conferment or non-conferment of the certificate. However, with the certificate conferred, the journey has not finished yet. The certificates are vested for a period of one year and those operations, which want to identify themselves with the certificate henceforth, will have to undergo annual reviews.
