Restaurant Compliance Tracker for Owners & Managers

Running a restaurant means juggling a dozen compliance obligations across federal, state, and city agencies — on top of actually running the restaurant. Most operators either spend 40 minutes a week checking government websites or skip it entirely and hope nothing slips through.

The compliance burden

A typical restaurant operator needs to monitor: FDA food recalls (daily), FSIS meat and poultry alerts (daily), DOL wage and hour changes (monthly), EEOC employment law updates (quarterly), city health department inspection results (ongoing), 311 complaints filed against their business (ongoing), state labor law changes (varies), and CDC outbreak investigations that may affect their supply chain.

What Panko Alerts replaces

Instead of 8 browser tabs and 40 minutes of manual checking, Panko Alerts delivers a single feed that covers all 25+ sources. Each item is categorized, scored by urgency, and filtered to your city. The morning scan takes 90 seconds. Urgent items (Class I recalls, new inspection results) trigger push notifications.

Why this matters for liability

If a recall is issued on an ingredient you serve and you continue serving it because you didn't know, that's a liability issue. Same with labor law changes — ignorance isn't a defense. Having a documented system for monitoring compliance (and acting on it) protects your business and your customers.
