Our Story
Built on Service. Driven by Expertise. Train . Comply . Succeed
HTCG was founded by a U.S. Navy veteran with a simple belief: every hospitality professional deserves world-class food safety training delivered with integrity, precision, and care.
Our Mission
Hospitality Training & Consulting Group exists to raise the standard of food safety across Florida's hospitality industry. We equip restaurant owners, hotel operators, and food service professionals with the certifications, knowledge, and confidence they need to protect their customers and their businesses.
We bring the same discipline and commitment to excellence that defines military service into every classroom, every consultation, and every certification we deliver.
Veteran-Owned
United States Armed Forces
"Service doesn't end when you leave the military — it just takes a different form."
Veteran-Owned. Mission-Focused.
Our founder served in the United States Armed Forces before bringing that same sense of duty to the hospitality industry. Military service instills values that translate directly into great training: attention to detail, accountability, respect for process, and an unwavering commitment to getting it right.
When you train with HTCG, you're working with a team that holds itself to the same standard it holds its students — no shortcuts, no guesswork, just proven methods and real results.
