About Savor Training Co.

Built for the People Who Run the Kitchen

Hi, I’m Reese Jackson — founder of Savor Training Co. Since 2017, I’ve helped restaurant teams all over the Southeast master food safety, pass health inspections, and build confident back-of-house systems.

Today, I focus on business development and growing Savor’s reach, partnerships, and impact. But the heart of the day-to-day training lies with two incredible instructors: Jon Gray and Rafiela Montes de Oca.

🧑🏽‍🏫 Meet Your Trainers

Jon Gray and Rafiela Montes de Oca are certified ServSafe® instructors and proctors with years of experience in food safety and hospitality operations. They work directly with restaurant managers, operators, and staff to:

• Lead ServSafe® Food Manager Certification courses (in English and Spanish)

• Conduct health inspection training

• Run on-site mock inspections

• Translate complex regulations into clear, usable systems

Whether your kitchen needs to bounce back from a low score or prepare for opening day, Jon and Rafiela bring a calm, practical, no-judgment approach that gets results.

👟 Our Journey

Savor Training Co. was born out of lived experience. I spent years working in restaurants, watching good teams fail inspections over things they were never properly taught. I knew I could help — not just with certifications, but with real-world coaching that builds systems and staff confidence.

That hands-on mindset still drives everything we do. We’ve worked with hundreds of restaurants — from food trucks to multi-unit brands — to create safer kitchens, higher scores, and stronger teams.

🎯 What We Offer

• ServSafe® Food Manager Certification (English & Spanish)

• On-site Health Inspection Training

• Mock Health Inspections

• Startup & Compliance Support for New Restaurants

💬 Why It Matters

Health inspections aren’t just about passing — they affect morale, revenue, and retention. We train like the inspector is watching — and we teach your team how to stay ready, not get ready.

In my VoyageATL interview, I shared how this company grew from one woman’s mission to a team-driven impact. Now, with trusted trainers on the ground and partnerships growing across the region, Savor Training Co. is built to serve more kitchens than ever.

💡 Our Values

• Clarity Over Confusion: We make food safety simple and actionable.

• Coaching, Not Criticism: We train to build confidence, not fear.

• Consistency is King: It’s not just about one inspection — it’s about culture.

• Real-World Respect: We’ve been in your shoes, and we train like it.
