All data comes from official government open data portals. We pull from published APIs and CSV feeds from city and county health departments - NYC DOHMH, Chicago CDPH, San Francisco DPH, and more. No scraping involved.
Every restaurant starts at 100. We deduct points based on violation severity: critical violations cost -25 points, non-critical violations cost -5, and corrected-on-site violations cost -2. This creates a consistent scale across jurisdictions that use letters, percentages, or pass/fail systems.
Our normalized grades map to score ranges: A (85-100) means excellent food safety, B (70-84) means good with minor issues, C (50-69) means needs improvement, and F (0-49) means serious violations found.
We run automated ingestion jobs weekly for each supported jurisdiction. Most health departments publish new inspection data within 1-2 weeks of the inspection, so our data is typically 1-3 weeks behind real-time.
We're launching with 10 major metros that publish inspection data via open APIs or CSV feeds: New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Houston, Las Vegas, Miami, Phoenix, and Boston. More cities are added monthly.
