Food Service
Find it before the health inspector does.
The health inspector shows up unannounced, and by then it's too late to fix the rice pilaf sitting at 128°F. A self-inspection catches violations while they're still fixable — and the timestamped record proves you were watching, not guessing. Walk the line the way an inspector would: temps, storage, hygiene, sanitizing. Log the fails, note the corrective action, sign it. When the real inspection comes, the file is already built.
