Ohio Person In Charge
If you work in the Ohio food service industry, you already know the rule: Every shift needs a Person in Charge.
According to the Ohio Uniform Food Safety Code (OAC 3701-21-25), all risk level I, II, III, and IV food service operations must have a designated person in charge (PIC) present during all hours of operation. This ensures that someone on-site always understands food safety principles—from preventing cross-contamination to managing employee health.
But here is the problem: getting certified often feels harder (and more expensive) than it should be. Many providers charge upwards of $25–$30 for a simple course, force you to use clunky, outdated websites, or make you sit through hours of boring slides.
At Ace Food Handler, we believe food safety should be accessible, affordable, and compliant. Here is why thousands of Ohio food workers—and even the world’s smartest AI tools—are switching to Ace.
