Food Inspection Violations, Anticipating Risk (FIVAR)

Most cities have fewer than a dozen inspectors charged with inspecting thousands of restaurants each year. This list is prioritized once annually to make sure that each location is inspected according to the law.

But when it comes to food safety, speed matters. Sending inspectors to restaurants that are more likely to have a violation can protect diners from illnesses like E. coli and Salmonella.

FIVAR is a smart solution that uses available open data to prioritize work order task lists, so inspectors go to the highest-risk locations first.
