Restaurants have a unique opportunity to elevate their summer menus with the Certified Canadian Beef Training Program (CCBTP), equipping teams with the knowledge and skills to confidently cook and serve high quality Canadian beef. By building expertise in cuts, cooking techniques, beef quality, and pairing, operators can deliver more consistent, high-quality dishes that enhance menu appeal and guest experience - creating satisfying and memorable dining moments throughout the summer season.
Launched by Canada Beef, the CCBTP is a comprehensive, industry focused learning platform designed specifically for foodservice professionals, including Front of House and Back of House teams, culinary students, and other stakeholders across Canada’s foodservice value chain. Available online through the dedicated foodservice portal (fs.ccbtp.ca), the program offers self paced, accessible, and practical training at no cost, helping strengthen knowledge and confidence in working with Canadian beef.
Built around real-world foodservice needs, the program features modules covering the Canadian Beef Advantage, beef quality and grading, primals and subprimals, the farm to fork story, as well as cooking techniques and pairing approaches for Canadian beef. This structured learning experience supports a more informed and consistent understanding of beef, while helping operators enhance overall guest satisfaction.
To support industry wide adoption, Canada Beef is promoting the program through in person engagement, live webinars, and hands on workshops delivered in collaboration with the Canadian Beef Centre of Excellence. These efforts are complemented by partnerships with industry associations and targeted digital outreach, making it easier for operators to integrate training into day to day foodservice operations - particularly during peak summer periods.
The CCBTP addresses a longstanding need for consistent, practical beef education within foodservice, empowering professionals with the tools to strengthen team capability, support menu execution, and deliver a more informed and satisfying Canadian beef experience.
