You Can Maintain Your Restaurant’s Good Standing “A” Grade with Standardized Health Inspection Forms

In today’s restaurant scene, customers have more options than ever. There are many more choices and consumers aren’t just flocking to the same restaurants every week like they have in the past. Regardless of the type of restaurant, competition is fierce and that means you need to do everything possible to retain customers. You might think dissatisfaction with customer service, prices, and taste are the main reasons customers stray, but another way restaurants lose customers is through poor health inspection grades.

Why Restaurant Health Inspections Are Important

Contrary to what you might think, restaurant inspections are not meant to cause you stress. Their goal is to ensure customer safety at your restaurant and this is something that should also matter to you. More than half of all food borne illnesses result from eating at a restaurant, which is why it’s important that restaurant kitchens, storage areas, fridges, and freezers are inspected and graded on how sanitary and sterile they are.

Losing the “A” Grade – Why It Matters

You might think your grade slipping from an “A” to a “B” isn’t extremely significant. A “B” is still passing. In fact, most parents are okay with their children receiving a “B” grade in school. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for restaurant health inspection grades. When a restaurant’s “A” or outstanding grade drops down to the next level, they can see their revenues dip by $50,000 annually. Dropping a score two levels can result in revenues plummeting by over $100,000. This is not just bad for business, it can potentially cost you your business.

How to Keep Your Outstanding Health Inspection Grade

Typically, restaurants are inspected at least once a year and it’s almost always random. The best way to maintain your outstanding health inspection grade is to conduct random inspections of your own throughout the year to ensure that everything is sanitary, sterile, and up to the health inspection codes. This is great in theory, but how often do restaurant managers follow through on this? MyFieldAudits can provide electronic inspection forms accessible from any mobile device to make it quick and painless for managers to complete surprise inspections and ensure that you’re ready for the health inspections that truly matter.
