Certification/permit renewal alerts

Purpose

 1.1. Ensure all employee food safety, alcohol service, or specific Afghan cuisine certifications and restaurant permits are valid and renewed on time.
 1.2. Eliminate risk of operating with lapsed documentation, prevent fines, and safeguard licensing for ongoing business.
 1.3. Centralize alerting for all compliance-related expiration dates—across roles and documentation types including health permits and state-required food handler cards.
 1.4. Automate reminders and renewal processes, reducing manager administrative workload and increasing overall compliance rates.

Trigger Conditions

 2.1. Approaching expiration—set at customizable intervals (e.g. 90/60/30/7/1 day(s) before expiry).
 2.2. New employee onboarding with required certifications.
 2.3. Manual updates in employee record for new/renewed permits or certifications.
 2.4. Failure to renew by set interval triggers escalation messages to responsible parties.
