Restaurant inspections, straight from the record.
Kitchen Receipts turns official restaurant health inspection results into short videos: closures, failed inspections and perfect scores in New York City, Chicago and Florida.
Where the data comes from
Every fact in every video comes from a government inspection record. Each video shows the agency, the inspection date and the record number on screen, so anyone can look it up.
- New York City: NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, restaurant inspection results (NYC Open Data).
- Chicago: Chicago Department of Public Health, food inspections (Chicago Data Portal).
- Florida: Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants.
What we are, and what we are not
We are an independent publisher that reports public records. We are not inspectors and are not affiliated with any health department. An inspection is a snapshot of one day: violations may have been corrected on site or at a later re-inspection, and we say so in every video.
Voiceovers are synthetic (AI-generated), and some visuals are illustrations or licensed stock footage, labeled as such. They don't show the restaurant in question.
