About Our Guest // CertiStar Founder + CEO, Shandee Chernow discovered in her late 20s she had life threatening food allergies. And not by a standard "test," as many would think - by actually eating foods she had no idea she was even allergic to, only to discover she was by way of a traumatic reaction. You can imagine the anxiety and frustration that came with dining out to eat with friends, family and clients. Shandee knew the hospitality industry needed a solution - not only a software to make things easier on the restaurant, hotel, school or airline, but also on the customer - or person - with food allergies. Enter in CertiStar - a software launched in 2017 that allows for guests dining out to have a safer and easier experience by way of the MenuStar software. With a quick 3-second search, the restaurant server can tell the guest all the offerings on the menu they are in fact safe to eat by way of a green, yellow, red list of options. CertiStar is based in Phoenix, Arizona.
