Safety and transparency are now the most important factors considered by guests when choosing not
only where to eat, but whether they will even dine out at all.
3. Despite the incredible demand for restaurant safety and
transparency, there is no definitive source of public
information on what new steps restaurants are taking to
keep guests safe—whether for COVID-19 or otherwise.
The Challenge
4. How does DineSafe work?
Via a software
subscription service,
restaurants receive
immediate access to the
DineSafe digital platform
which provides all
applicable federal, state
and local COVID-19
related regulations in the
form of a simple daily
checklist with reminder
notifications.

A restaurant that
provides daily compliance
verifications is certified
DineSafe with an audit
trail including geolocation
tagged pictures.
Restaurants continue to
follow daily compliance
rules. Regulation
changes are shown in the
app automatically.
Premium Version:
Once a restaurant has
been certified DineSafe
our team will syndicate
this information to the
dining public via
Google, Yelp,
Tripadvisor, Facebook
groups, instagram, Uber
Eats, Seamless, etc.
The idea is to piggyback
off the mojo of existing
consumer brands.

Expand DineSafe’s
offerings to take
advantage of the public’s
new safety-consciousness
approach to dining.
Prepare to pivot when
covid is no longer primary
concern.
