Why Every Restaurant Employee Safety Training (REST) Ends in a Music Video

Cartoon-style restaurant safety mascot peeking out from behind a rainbow wave of musical notes on a colorful background—representing how music helps reinforce safety messages in REST training videos.

(And Why It’s the Most Important Part)

Think back to when you were a kid.
Can you still sing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” or “The ABCs”?

Of course you can.
That’s because music sticks.

And when it comes to something as critical as restaurant safety—we want it to stick.

Not Just a Training—A Memory

Every REST module ends with a short music video that repeats the core message of the training. It’s catchy. It’s simple. It’s a little fun. And that’s exactly the point.

Studies show that music activates more parts of the brain than almost anything else. It helps:

  • Lock information into long-term memory

  • Trigger recall when it counts (like mid-shift!)

  • Reduce stress and increase focus

In other words: music makes learning stick. And when your staff is running on adrenaline during a busy lunch rush, they’re more likely to remember a beat and a lyric than a bullet point from a handbook.

The “Disney Scare” (and Why It Worked)

You might laugh, but I still remember the terrifyingly effective safety training from my childhood. Like the cast member at Disneyland who scared us straight with stories of what not to do.

Why did it work?
Because it was memorable. And sometimes, emotion + repetition = retention.

That’s exactly what we aim for at REST—with a little less childhood trauma and a lot more positive reinforcement.

Repetition Reinforces Safety

At the end of every REST video, employees are invited to sing along with a short safety message:

“Let’s get accidents to zero, become a restaurant safety hero.”

You might hear them humming it by the soda fountain.
You might catch a line of it when they’re cleaning the fryer.

And you know what? That means it’s working.

Because safety isn’t about checking a box. It’s about creating a culture.

And cultures are built through shared messages, clear values, and yes—songs people can’t get out of their heads.

Real Safety for Real Restaurants

The music videos at the end of REST modules aren’t just cute.
They’re scientifically designed to:

  • Improve recall

  • Reinforce positive behavior

  • Lower your risk of workplace injuries

It’s like posting a speed limit sign after every training—you’re reminding your crew how fast they can go, and how to stay safe while doing it.

So the next time you see your line cook tapping his foot after a REST module, don’t laugh. Smile.

That’s the sound of safety training working.
