Posting the result
Required to be posted. The notice of restaurant sanitation must be posted at a customary entrance to the establishment, in public view, and only the administrator may post, change, remove, or deface it. Establishments must also post a sign telling customers the most recent inspection report is available on request. Rule

Food code in force
2013 FDA Food Code. The FDA Food Code is a model, not a federal mandate — each state decides which edition to adopt and how far to amend it.

If you run the restaurant
The record is public either way. The useful move is to read it before a customer does.
Pull your own record
Search yourself in the lookup above and read every line of the last three reports. Repeat violations are what escalate.
Work the ten risk factors
Most citations trace back to the same ten practices the FDA measures nationally. Run the ten-minute self-check.
Fix, document, re-inspect
Dated photos and a written correction log are what a re-inspection rewards. What to do after a bad inspection.
