Inspection Radar.

Your best guess at your next inspection.

Save your restaurant's address. We push you the moment a DOH inspection happens nearby — typically within a few blocks. The premise: health inspectors batch their visits by zone. When one place on your block gets hit, neighbors often follow over the next few days.

It's the heads-up to walk through the line, check temps, and brief your crew before the inspector reaches your door. Operators have always noticed this pattern — the feature was suggested by one running multi-location kitchens at Google.

  • →Push notifications (web + iOS) the moment an inspection lands inside your radius
  • →1 to 10-block radius — you decide how wide
  • →Up to 5 saved locations (multi-site operators)
  • →NYC, Chicago, SF, Boston — more cities as our data expands
  • →Public DOH data only. We never see what's not already public.
