Restaurants Hustle to Comply With Requirements Under New Inspection Scheme
Summary: With the new NYC DOH restaurant rules going into effect this month, many restaurants are feeling nervous about how consumers will react to seeing “grades” in their windows.
For any restaurant that receives a grading below a C or better, will have the opportunity to appeal, or make any suggested or necessary changes, and have a second opinion/grading before being required to publish their new safety and sanitation grading.
Many current New York restaurant owners are upset and have asked questions as to why the change, but they need to look within their own kitchen and staff members to see where the issues initially began. Health and sanitation case works have issued several subpoenas and other citation tickets in regards as to how food has been prepared, handled and stored. This new change is for the health and wellbeing of the clients, and staff. This is something that has been criticized and welcomed at the same time.
Although all the New York restaurants may be sweating down their back sides concerned with the grading they will receive from some of New Yorks finest Health inspectors, but won’t this also be a great way to take the structured criticism, and strive to be the best New York Restaurant in the area? Offering not only the best customer service, but now knowing that everything that comes through those kitchen doors are of adequate temperature, cooked thoroughly, and ready to be consumed without the slightest risk of making someone deathly ill?
Often times these extra measures are often looked down upon when it reality they were created to protect both the producer and the consumer in order to coexist in a healthy and friendly atmosphere. When one restaurant becomes scrutiny to one customer’s disapproval, the approval ratings that will be made available will also come to their defense as a shield to any false accusations that sometimes do come upon a reputable restaurant for one reason or another.
If you are a visitor to the New York area and are unsure of where to dine during your stay, these added measures can also play a huge role in helping you decide which are worthy of your business, and they become your eyes and ears behind kitchen doors.
