How it works

The process of inspecting restaurants is simple but also complicated.

After a state environmental health inspector conducts an inspection, a restaurant receives a score that results in a letter grade. The inspector determines the score based on a 100-point scale, and the inspector deducts points for each violation the restaurant has.

Scores of 90-100 result in an “A,” which means the restaurant has reached “food safety excellence.” Scores of 80-89 result in a “B,” which is satisfactory, and scores of 70-79 result in a “C,” which means the restaurant has marginally met requirements. Any score below 70 results in a “U,” which stands for unsatisfactory which means the restaurant has failed its health inspection, according to the rules of the Georgia Department of Public Health.

Depending on the type of food preparation an establishment performs, a restaurant might have anywhere from one to three inspections a year. The frequency of the inspections may increase due to receiving a “C” or “U” grade on a routine inspection.

The Telegraph monitors inspection results once a month and typically reports the highest and lowest scores.
