Impact analysis
Training and certification runs a couple hundred dollars per manager, good for five years; fee schedule adjustments take effect a year out.
Anyone eating at Keene restaurants benefits from current food safety standards.
Small restaurants without existing certification face a modest training cost, though they have a year to comply.
