Food Handling Practices

The rating reflects how well the restaurant handles food. This includes preparation, cooking, reheating, cooling, and storage. Safe practices reduce the risk of contamination and foodborne illnesses.

Cleanliness of the Premises

A restaurant’s cleanliness is crucial. The rating accounts for how well the establishment maintains its kitchen and dining areas, including hygiene facilities and pest control measures.

Food Safety Management

Good restaurants have effective systems to monitor hygiene and ensure compliance with food safety standards. This includes proper staff training and written food safety procedures.

Inspection Frequency

Establishments with higher ratings are inspected less frequently, which indicates consistent compliance. Restaurants with low ratings may be subject to more regular checks to improve their practices.
