Q5: How do your benchmarks relate to official health inspections and ratings?

A: Our benchmark system is distinct from official health inspection reports. Health inspections are point in time, infrequent, inconsistent between jurisdictions, and not publicly available in all areas. In contrast, our benchmark offers a standardized view of ‘outcome based’ food safety performance over time and in comparison to industry peers.
