Unannounced inspections include an evaluation of how food is received and stores, temperatures used to cook, hold and reheat foods, according to the department's web page. The establishments begin with a score of 100 and points are deducted based on the severity of problems observed.

Letter grades are then given on a scale of 85 points and up equals an A; 70 to 84 points is a B; 69 points and below is a C.
