Field notes
The page describes a weekday workflow that reads state restaurant inspection records and pairs selected findings with license-file phone numbers and links to state reports. Lists are tailored to five trades, with pest citations, moldy ice machines, plumbing problems, or refrigeration failures routed by trade; openings, new licenses, and owner changes go to all. The visible Orange County sample masks business names and numbers, and the site also offers a free weekly email alongside the advertised $149 monthly plan.
