@menchiesbeachesWhen the city's food safety auditors come for a visit, they're looking for either minor, significant, and crucial infractions that could put customers at risk when eating at an establishment. While minor infractions can be forgiven if fixed, crucial ones will lead a business to be forced to shut down until those issues are addressed.
Some businesses can recover from a closure but for others, it can definitely set a reputation that causes them to be shut down for good.
