Just saw a kitchen go from a 3 to a 9 on health inspection scores in 90 days

I was doing some work on the hood vents at a local spot, and the first time I was in there, it was a mess. Grease everywhere, clutter, the whole deal. They got a surprise inspection and scored a 72. The owner freaked out and brought in a consultant. Now, three months later, I'm back for a filter change and the place is a different world. Everything is labeled, the walk-in is organized, and they have a color-coded cutting board system posted on the wall. They just got a 96 on their follow-up. Has anyone else seen a place turn around that fast, and what was the one thing that made the biggest difference?

Ever notice how a real shock can finally get people to do the simple stuff they already knew?

Wish more places had that kind of wake up call. I mean, sometimes it takes getting hit with a bad score to finally make the easy fixes. Good for them for actually following through.
