In New York City, cleaning is scored. The Department of Health's letter-grade system posts your sanitation performance in the front window, and violations for floors, walls, and food-contact surfaces move grades fast. A structured kitchen and dining cleaning program is the cheapest grade insurance a restaurant buys.
Back of House: The Nightly Core
- Floor deck-brush and degrease — including the walk where grease migrates past the line
- Equipment exteriors, line surfaces, and splash zones to a food-safe standard
- Floor drains flushed and treated (the #1 fruit-fly source)
- Grease-catch surfaces on schedule — hood and filter service on its vendor's rotation
- Walk-in interiors on a weekly plan with food-safe chemistry — see our cold room guide
Front of House: What Guests Judge
Nightly: dining floors, chair legs, booth seams, restrooms to restaurant-guest standard, entry glass and mats. Weekly: window exteriors, high dust (return-air vents near the dining room are notoriously forgotten), plant and decor dusting.
Compliance Notes That Save Points
- Documented pest-entry sealing around drains and door sweeps
- Cleaning logs the manager can show on inspection day
