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.
