See every cafeteria violation across your district before parents do
Health inspection records for K-12 food service operations â normalized, searchable, and monitored automatically.
School cafeterias get inspected by local health departments just like restaurants â but district food service directors have no centralized way to track results across all their buildings. Violations sit in scattered county portals, invisible to central administration until a complaint surfaces or a news story runs. We aggregate those records and put them in one place, so you know what's happening in every cafeteria before anyone else does.
The problem today
Sound familiar?
You find out about violations the same way parents do â on the local news
Health inspection records are public, but they live in dozens of separate county portals. Your district might span three counties, each with a different system. No one is watching all of them for you.
Repeat violations are invisible until they become a pattern
A single cafeteria might fail three inspections in a year across different violation categories. Without aggregation, you see each one in isolation and miss the pattern until it escalates.
State nutrition directors have no visibility across districts
When a foodborne illness outbreak is linked to a school, state agencies scramble to pull inspection records that should have been monitored all along. Reactive data pulls don't prevent incidents.
Cafeteria compliance monitoring for K-12 food service
Government health inspection data for school cafeterias, pulled from local health departments, normalized across jurisdictions, and monitored continuously â so district food service directors and state nutrition offices have the same visibility into school kitchens that the health department does.
