Does every front-of-house employee need Smart Serve certification? Can an uncertified employee ever step in during an emergency? What are AGCO inspectors looking for, and where do restaurants most commonly run into trouble?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Join Restaurants Canada and Smart Serve Ontario for an interactive webinar designed to answer the questions operators are asking every day. We&rsquo;ll walk through certification requirements for different roles, common compliance pitfalls, operator responsibilities, and practical strategies for maintaining compliance\u2014even during staffing shortages and high employee turnover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you&rsquo;re an owner, operator, general manager, or responsible for hiring and training, you&rsquo;ll leave with greater confidence in your obligations and have the opportunity to ask your questions live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This webinar is presented by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/smartserve.ca\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Smart-Serve-Logo.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8340\" style=\"width:121px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Smart-Serve-Logo.png 240w, https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Smart-Serve-Logo-219x300.png 219w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speakers:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/RC.ORG-WEBINAR-HEADSHOT-IMAGES-FOR-JESS-16.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8336 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/RC.ORG-WEBINAR-HEADSHOT-IMAGES-FOR-JESS-16.png 400w, https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/RC.ORG-WEBINAR-HEADSHOT-IMAGES-FOR-JESS-16-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/RC.ORG-WEBINAR-HEADSHOT-IMAGES-FOR-JESS-16-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/RC.ORG-WEBINAR-HEADSHOT-IMAGES-FOR-JESS-16-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Richard Anderson<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Executive Director | <a href=\"https:\/\/smartserve.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Smart Serve Ontario<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Adam-Strongman.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8396 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Adam-Strongman.png 400w, https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Adam-Strongman-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Adam-Strongman-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Adam-Strongman-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Adam Strongman<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manager Compliance Programs | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agco.ca\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recording is now available below.
