About The Score
A consistent summary, not an official state grade
Each published visit receives a score starting at 100: −8 per high-priority finding, −3 per intermediate finding, and −1 per basic finding, plus additional deductions for enforcement outcomes. The restaurant score is the average of its visit scores from the last 365 days; visits older than 180 days receive half weight. A 90–100 is an A, 80–89 a B, 70–79 a C, 60–69 a D, and below 60 an F. Florida DBPR does not issue this score.
