Building Safer Work Environments for Restaurant Staff 

At SARA, our partnership with restaurants is rooted in one core belief: every person who works in food and beverage deserves to feel safe at work. 

​

Our programs help restaurants prevent sexual harassment, support staff experiencing customer or coworker harm, develop clear reporting pathways, and strengthen workplace culture. Our priority is staff safety and wellbeing because a protected workforce leads to a stronger, more sustainable restaurant community for everyone.
