Cray Protected Featured in Food & Beverage Magazine (Sept 2026)

Cray is featured in the September 2026 issue of Food & Beverage Magazine, the hospitality trade publication read by restaurant owners, bar operators, and food and beverage directors worldwide. The feature, on page 25, spotlights Cray Protected, our venue safety certification program for bars, restaurants, and event venues.

Why this feature matters

Bars, restaurants, and event venues are where so many first dates and first meetings happen. That makes the hospitality industry one of the most important frontlines in guest safety, and it's exactly the audience this magazine reaches. Seeing venue safety treated as a hospitality story, not just a personal-safety story, is the shift we've been working toward since Cray Protected launched.

What is Cray Protected?

Cray Protected is Cray's venue safety certification program. It equips bars, restaurants, and event venues with practical drink-safety tools and guest-facing materials, and certifies venues that make a visible commitment to proactive guest safety. For operators, it's a straightforward way to show guests that their safety is part of the experience, not an afterthought. Learn more at cray.app/protected.
