Whether you have a growing hospitality group or a major nationwide concept, it’s imperative that you protect your reputation and brand loyalty from illness, outbreaks, and other health crises.
Zero Hour Health’s team of advisors will help you prevent and manage your risk so your team can focus on growing the business.
Advisory from the most knowledgeable industry experts, 24/7/365.
Whether it’s navigating a foodborne illness outbreak, receiving guidance on best practices with your local health department, or general questions about your employees’ health, we’re here to keep you, your staff, and your business safe.
Detecting and preventing illnesses, before they go public.
The best way to stop a crisis is to prevent it from becoming one in the first place. We’ll help you create a culture of safe working, detect problematic illnesses before they spread, and, most importantly, keep your business out of the news.
Protecting the most important asset in your businesses: your brand.
An outbreak is one of the few crises that can permanently damage a brand. From local news, to the nightly news, to the trading floors, your reputation is the foundation of your business and its value. Protecting that asset is a top priority.
Screening and assisting the hiring process for at-risk positions.
Whether you need to do physical examinations to ensure a prospective employee can do the job, or your industry regulations call for a battery of exams, we streamline this process and handle it for every step of the way. Save time, hire quicker, and protect yourself against workers' comp claims.

Best Question:
We have some employee health training time allocated at our upcoming meeting. What are the highest leverage topics we should consider?
We get this question a lot, and we’re so glad to be able to help you think about your options here. We have three topics that we think make a great session right now.
Measles 101 - Managers on the ground know that measles is becoming more of an issue, but they don’t know much about it (unless they’re one of the unlucky ones who have had an exposure already). Split your time into 10 minutes of basic measles facts, 10 minutes about what to do if a health department shows up or names your company publicly as a measles exposure site, and 10 minutes of Q&A. We promise they’ll have a bunch of great questions for you.
Heat-related Illness - As we head into the summer, heat illness is one of the things keeping us up at night. With electricity and gas prices through the roof, more people than ever are going to skip using their AC at home because they can’t afford it. With hotter temperatures each year, we’re worried about employees getting sick or dying both at home and on the job. Spend 20 minutes educating the team on the basics of heat illness, including the fact that the highest risk days aren’t always the hottest. Be sure to discuss what symptoms to look out for and how to respond. Then spend 10 minutes having them brainstorm ways they can reduce risk on hotter-than-usual days.
Norovirus Basics - Noro is still high across most of the country, and it’s the most common issue they’re likely to encounter if they’re serving food. Grab their attention with a high-impact demo, like ZHH’s famous vomit demo, or, for something a little less disturbing (but not none), use a handwashing glo-germ demo kit and blacklight, available for cheap online. Then spend 15 minutes hammering home the basics: how to clean a restaurant after someone is sick, reminders to keep employees home when they’re sick AND for 48 hours after their symptoms improve, and a focus on good hand hygiene.
If you’d like ZHH to plan or join your session, just reach out. We’re happy to help.
During the pandemic, the American public got very used to knowing what they had - was it flu, COVID, or RSV? But there are still so many viruses that circulate each year that we don’t have easy rapid testing for. They’re very common, and as you can see in the chart below, April is a very busy month for these viruses that cause colds.
