Gotcha! Why Every REST Video Ends with Music

When I was building out the REST (Restaurant Employee Safety Training) program, I wanted something more than the usual dry, corporate safety talk. I wanted something that would stick.
At the time, I was visiting family and working on the music video segments—those fun little clips that play at the end of each REST training. My grandkids, ages 7 to 12, were completely hooked.
“Can we see the next one?”
“Wait—play that one again!”
They were glued. Not to a cartoon. Not to a superhero show. To a safety training video.
My daughter, on the other hand? Not so sure.
She raised an eyebrow and said, “Those music things are so weird. Do you really think anyone’s going to want to watch that?”
I told her:
“This is why commercials have jingles. Because music makes things stick.”
To this day, we all know how to spell baloney thanks to Oscar Mayer.
(O-S-C-A-R… B-O-L-O-G-N-A)
That’s the power of a tune.
Later that evening, she was at the stove making spaghetti, stirring sauce, and completely unaware that she was humming the REST video theme song.
I turned. I pointed.
“Gotcha.”
She froze. And then we both burst out laughing.
That’s why REST videos end with music. Because if it sticks in your head, it’ll stick in your employees’ heads too.
And when it comes to restaurant safety, remembering matters.
