If you think about it, people place a lot of trust in your restaurant and your employees when they eat at your establishment. They trust that you’ve done your due diligence when it comes to preparing their meal and that you’ve taken steps to ensure cleanliness. They’re trusting you to not make them get sick. Or, you know, spit in their food.
That’s why health inspectors check out restaurants to make sure that they’re following proper guidelines for food safety.

They want an honest look at things.
The idea of being inspected might be stressful for everyone who works at your restaurant, but we’ve put together a few tips to help you do your best on your health inspection.
