There are many steps you can take to ensure your restaurant stays compliant with local health regulations. First, stay up to date on any changes in the regulations or requirements from health agencies. Second, develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) outlining safety protocol and train all staff on those protocols. Also ensure that all processes related to food storage and preparation are properly monitored by staff. Finally, perform regular maintenance of food handling equipment and regularly inspect dishes, pots, pans and utensils for damage or wear which could lead to cross contamination risks. If there is risk or potential violation is identified inform the local health department immediately. By taking the necessary steps to practice due diligence in advance it will be easier respond quickly if a complaint or inspection occurs down the line.

The most important steps to take are to have a regular routine of inspections from a professional pest control company, maintain consistent kitchen temperatures, store food properly, make sure staff is trained in food safety and hygiene practices and label all products with expiration dates.
