Restaurant Certifications — Shouldn't they be specifically designed for restaurants?

Restaurant certifications can seem like a nightmare:

• Who do I trust?
• Will these restaurant certifications become obsolete?
• Isn't there an easier certifications process?
• Will this certifications standard meet global requirements for all my restaurants?

Eco Crown Hospitality's Online Green Restaurant Certification Program is the answer you've been searching for. We've created a green restaurant certification program specifically designed to make the transition to green or organic, easy and inexpensive.

And because our global certification program was designed in cooperation with the UN, Travelocity, Expedia, and existing government certification programs, our standards certify your restaurant to globally recognized standards no matter where it's located.

What's more, with our simple online monitoring system, we keep you up-to-date with the latest international standards. You also get regular newsletters with concrete recommendations, checklists for management and staff, listings in our eco-hospitality web sites, and a whole lot more!

What's involved in the Green Restaurant Certifications?

We use a simple online audit system for restaurants:

• We provide ease of access — our online hospitality industry questionnaire and 'first' green-monitoring system was created by us — industry professionals.
• Bronze and Silver awarded businesses should prepare for an unexpected on-site visit from your eco-member auditor to inspect your green-scale, based on the questionnaire responses you submitted. To achieve an Eco-Gold certification, an on-site eco audit is mandatory to verify certification.
• We provide you with our step by step implementation guide.
• We educate your staff with our online training program available for you to download.
• We provide you with eco-monitoring spreadsheets for each operating department.
• An environmental member representative will guide you through the program.
• Our support system is available to you 24/7.
• You will receive incentives & rewards for innovative ideas, products & practices.
