My small restaurant had a minor food safety issue, but I don't want to admit it and make it public. How can I handle this without damaging the reputation of my restaurant?

An effective way to address this issue is to stay proactive. Ask for health inspections from the health department on a regular basis, address any issues promptly, and post a notice in your restaurant informing customers that all staff have been trained in food safety protocols. You could also invite local public health experts or chefs to offer voluntary consultations and inspections of your restaurant occasionally as an extra measure.
 
It is important not to wait for disaster strikes – be proactive and seek support before it’s too late. After all, your goal is not just to keep customers safe but also preserve the reputation of your business by giving patrons confidence that the food you serve is safe and made with expertise. Furthermore, make sure every employee attending training regarding food safety regulations as refreshers course periodically.
 
 
Finally, don’t forget about external assessments - ask satisfied customers for reviews or survey them online on occasion – as an additional measure of confidence in customer satisfaction which could help keep minor issues hidden away undiscovered!  In short, be prepared, take action immediately when something goes wrong and don't delay reaching out for help if necessary!

You should promptly address the issue. Contact your local health inspection department and have them conduct an inspection of the premises. Once you have taken the necessary corrective action, provide a statement to customers that reassures them that their safety is a priority for your restaurant. Make sure to follow up with customers if they have any further questions or concerns. Additionally, investigate any employee hygiene habits to determine whether further training is needed or if more stringent measures must be put in place for food safety protocols moving forward. 

Finally, take steps to ensure that a similar incident does not happen again by auditing your internal practices against the local and state regulations as well as best industry practices.

Good luck!
