Electrical Emergency Readiness
for Restaurants
Manager-level training, emergency response guidance, and annual readiness certification
designed specifically for commercial foodservice operations.
The REA system was developed by a Master Electrician with more than 35 years of electrical experience and a restaurant owner who understands the operational realities of commercial kitchens.
We help restaurants reduce electrical downtime
by turning emergency readiness into a clear, documented
operating standard. With site certification, panel standardization,
and team-ready response systems.
Most Restaurants aren't ready for electrical failure
One electrical event can cost thousands in minutes. Most restaurants are completely unprepared.
A breaker trips during dinner rush Kitchen goes down.

​Equipment loses power food loss + service chaos.

Hidden wiring issues fire risk.
​
Staff doesn't know what to do situation gets worse.
REA helps your team respond faster & reduce operational chaos when electrical problems happen!

Our Mission
To establish a national standard for restaurant electrical emergency readiness that improves safety, reduces shutdowns, and supports inspection success—without replacing licensed electrical professionals or regulatory authorities.
​
​
"REA Authority Certification verifies that a restaurant location maintains ongoing electrical emergency readiness through documented standards, annual review, and continued oversight by the Restaurant Electrical Authority."
​
**Certification is non-regulatory, time-limited, does not replace required inspections, and may be suspended or
revoked if standards are not maintained. REA does not guarantee inspection success or code compliance.**

Scope of Program:
REA’s scope includes educational guidance related to restaurant electrical emergency readiness, development and administration of non-regulatory readiness standards, certification programs based on documented adherence to published standards, training materials for restaurant managers and operators, and certification review, renewal, and status verification.

REA does not provide electrical installation, repair, or maintenance services; electrical inspections or code enforcement; regulatory or Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) functions; engineering approvals or design services; or guarantees of inspection outcomes or compliance results.
​
Relationship to Certification:
REA certification indicates that a restaurant has received education and implemented readiness procedures aligned with REA standards at the time of review.
