Pests & FacilitiesQuestion 160 of 240
A restaurant currently posts a 'B' grade. What does this generally tell customers and the operator?
a.The restaurant is closed by the Health Department
b.The restaurant has never been inspected
c.The restaurant earned the best possible score
d.The inspection found more violation points than an 'A', so conditions should be improved toward an 'A'
Explanation
A 'B' grade means the restaurant accumulated more violation points than the 'A' range, signaling conditions that need improvement, while a 'C' indicates the most points. It is not a closure and it is not the top grade. Operators should correct the cited violations to earn back an 'A' at re-inspection, and the grade must stay posted for the public.
