A

Don’t gamble your A grade.

Run a full inspector-style self-audit of your kitchen, see exactly where you’d lose points, and get the prioritized fixes to pass — then track every audit and grade over time.

Most spots don’t get an A the first time.

In 2023–2025, roughly 4 in 10 NYC restaurants scored a B or C on their initial inspection (14+ points) — triggering an unannounced re-inspection.

How it works

Three steps to a confident A.

01

Self-inspect

Walk a guided checklist built from the real NYC violation set — plain English, one tap per item.

02

See your grade

Your projected A / B / C and exact point total update live as you go. No more guessing.

03

Fix what counts

A point-ranked fix list shows which corrections pull you back under the line — first.

From surprise to certainty

Walk the line from a surprise C to a confident A.

The same point system DOHMH uses — turned into a tool that shows you exactly where you stand and what to fix, every day, not just inspection day.

Prioritized fix list

Fix what costs you the most — first.

Not every violation is equal. A Grade ranks your cited items by the points they add, so you spend the morning on the fix that actually moves your letter — and a what-if planner shows the grade you’d land if you cleared it.

  • Ranked by points, not guesswork
  • What-if planner: see your grade before you fix
  • Re-inspection & OATH prep when a 14+ score is on record
