restaurant inspections

Eatery compliance checks

Restaurant inspections are official examinations of food-service establishments by health authorities to verify compliance with sanitation and safety standards.

Inspectors check food storage temperatures, cleanliness, pest control, and employee hygiene practices.

Results often appear as letter grades posted in windows or numerical scores in public databases: The restaurant got a B on its last inspection.
