Case Study: Vanderbilt University boosts food safety compliance and training speed with Opus

Vanderbilt University's Food Safety Training 30-Day Turnaround

Vanderbilt University faced significant challenges with its in-person food safety training program for its dining staff. The traditional method of using PowerPoint presentations and paper exams was costly, time-consuming to administer, and resulted in poor knowledge retention, with a pass rate of only 32%. The General Manager, Jeffrey Weissinger, needed a more accessible and engaging solution, especially for a multilingual team, and turned to the Opus training platform.

By implementing Opus, Vanderbilt transitioned to a mobile-first, micro-training model that was easily translated into Spanish. This dramatically increased accessibility and engagement. The result was a tripling of the compliance pass rate to 81%, and the university achieved its allergen safety training compliance goal for 88% of its staff in just 30 days—three times faster than before. Employees across all age groups highly rated the Opus platform for its user-friendly interface.
