Most independent restaurants do not teach their staff how to respond in an active shooter or similar violent situation. A study by the Foodservice Training Portal, completed in January of 2017, found that only 8% of the restaurants have any training in how to respond in such an event, even though the FBI has put out an advisory warning. Food service locations can be vulnerable because they usually have no security personnel and may have large groups of guests. Training restaurant staff in workplace violence and active shooter situations would give them a plan in the event of any of these frightening scenarios.

Key Takeaways:

  • Most restaurants are not training or readying their employees against any sort of active shooter situation.
  • The FBI warns that regardless of whether law enforcement is at such a scene at the time, civilians often have to make critical decisions quickly.
  • Restaurant owners should consider whether they or their employees know what to do in the first few minutes of a shooter situation.
