For self regulation, you need to have qualified staff "who will perform these activities",  get ISO22000 or BRC's audit check list ( as example), define the governmental laws and regulation relating to food industries and the customer requirements . Do the first internal audit, and define the GAPs between the current and the required status.

Delivering the best food/meal to customers is the main aim for all the restaurants but due to the lack of connection between the customers and the manager. Many restaurants are unable to reach the customer's expectations.

An app like UberEats has broken that barrier by letting the customers review the meal/food on each order. This helps the restaurant owner to keep up a good relationship with their customer on each order and help them to know their customer's expectations. 

At the same time, the on-demand food delivery app solution also helps the restaurant owners to check the restaurant's cooks' feedback. This makes the restaurant owner take a good decision at the right time to keep up the brand value. 

SpotnEats is an on-demand food ordering and delivery app solution that helps the restaurant owner's barriers easily with their enriched app features. If you want to uplift the restaurant standards and reach the top of the market. then SpotnEats will be the right choice.

i support the above answers for self regulation, and also to add on that you can always go for certifying your company by external certification bodies even though it is not a statutory regulatory requirement. it will help in easy system management and coordination within your establishment as well as will help meet the competition.

Surely the adoption of systems of planning and interior self-control, certified by external control bodies recognized globally which allow consistent and accurate monitoring of the various stages of the production process. Of course it is necessary that the various professionals involved in the production process are properly trained and harmonized with each other.

The application of these management concepts and self-control of the production steps combined with adequate domestic policy, aimed at obtaining products with high quality standards or otherwise responding to customer requests, should definitely ensure a high degree of customer satisfaction .
