THE SAFE+ FRAMEWORK

The SAFE+ framework is a structured way to make hotel breakfast buffets reliably safe for people with food allergies. It translates the Dishplay philosophy into clear, repeatable practices that work in real hotel environments — across teams, shifts, and seasons.

SAFE+ is built around five interconnected pillars.

  • This pillar focuses on the foundations

    • Supplier awareness and ingredient traceability

    • Receiving and storage discipline

    • Zoning of allergen-sensitive areas

    • Identification and management of high-risk products.

    Safety starts long before the buffet opens.

  • This pillar addresses how safety is communicated and perceived by guests.

    • Buffet architecture and logical layout

    • Clearly designated safe tables or zones

    • Consistent allergen icons and visual cues

    • Transparency in information and guest guidance

    Trust is built by design — not by reassurance alone.

  • This pillar focuses on daily execution in the kitchen and at the buffet.

    • Mise-en-place rules

    • Tool and utensil discipline

    • Cooking and preparation logic

    • Practical cross-contact control

    Good intentions only work when flow supports them.

  • This pillar brings safety to the guest experience.

    • Front-of-house scripts

    • Confident, consistent communication

    • Clear escalation paths for questions

    • Calm reassurance without improvisation

    Guests don’t need promises, they need confidence.

  • The “+” ensures SAFE+ doesn’t fade over time.

    • Periodic audits and rechecks

    • Ongoing support and a clear point of contact

    • Hotline support when questions arise

    • Certification review and renewal

    Safety is not a one-time project. It’s a maintained standard.

A system, not a checklist.

SAFE+ is not about perfection.

It’s about reducing risk, removing guesswork, and making safe behaviour the default, even when teams change and pressure is high.

This is how allergy safety becomes part of daily operations, not an exception.
