For New York owners
Your place runs when you are not in the room.
One screen tells you if you are ready to serve, who is cleared to work, and what is late.

The problem
Why can't you
walk over and look?
- Your time
You can't watch every shift. You are on the line, at the bank or asleep.
- Busy days
On a busy day, the walk-in temperature is the first thing nobody writes down. Then no one can tell if it was taken. In New York City, the inspector's grade goes on your door.
- Your reason
You opened to feed people, not to watch a clipboard.
Your day
So what does
your day look like?
Here is one day. It is an example, not a customer.
Open the app
Today says
Open for food
: Yes, or Not yet with the thermometer, fridge or sanitizer still missing.Nothing needs you
The list is short when the fridge and sanitizer readings are in.
One fix is waiting
It sits under

True answers
Will my people tell the truth
if I can see it?
You see whether someone can work, not what they answered. That is so people can answer plainly.
Your staff read what they are told before they answer. You get what to do: OK to work
or No food work today
. New York's rule for the worker is plain: no one works while sick with an illness that spreads through food (10 NYCRR 14-1.70). We found no state rule that has you report a sick worker to the health department. A guest who got sick from your food is a different call: within 24 hours to your health department (14-1.200).
Read what your staff are told before they answer.
Inspection day
And when the
inspector walks in?
You hand over one PDF. It holds your permits, your manager certificate, any warm readings with the fix, and the temperature tables. It starts at the last 90 days.
It is a plain PDF of your records. Nobody signs or stamps it, and it does not predict how an inspection goes. Each rule names its New York source, the 10 NYCRR section, and where your county or the city adds something. In New York City the Health Department scores the visit in points. The letter goes within 5 feet of your entrance (24 RCNY 23-07). A is 0 to 13, B is 14 to 27, C is 28 or more. After a reinspection of 14 or more, Grade Pending
may hang there until the hearing. Outside the city there is no grade; most inspection results are public on health.data.ny.gov, and Suffolk and Erie counties publish their own. The Health Department grades; we keep the record. With two places, each has its own binder.
Read more about the inspection binder.
The binder is filling from your first reading.
So what changes?
Close the door
knowing.
You look at one screen. It says which readings are in, which are late, and who can fix it. Then you go home.
Managers can also run the shift. See how it works, the other jobs and places in New York, or how to open a food business in your county.

Twenty-five days is enough to watch a full week close without you.
Questions
Before you
start.
Will I get an alert if something is missed?
In a browser, yes, once you say yes when the app asks. CleanCleaver sends no texts. A late reading also shows on Today when you open the app, with who can fix it.
What signs go on the wall in New York?
Your permit, where customers see it (10 NYCRR 14-1.190). A handwashing sign at every employee hand sink (14-1.143). The state's first aid for choking poster (Public Health Law 1352-b). An allergen line on every menu, online menus too, such as "If you have a food allergy or intolerance, please notify us." The staff allergen notice (Public Health Law 1356). "No Smoking" and "No Vaping" signs (Public Health Law 1399-p). New York City adds three. The grade card within 5 feet of the entrance. The Health Department's food allergy poster for sit-down service (24 RCNY Chapter 27). The warning for pregnant women where alcohol is sold (Admin Code 17-173). The app lists each sign.
Do I need a certified food protection manager?
Not statewide. In New York City, yes. A Food Protection Certificate holder is on the premises and supervises all food work whenever you are open (Health Code 81.15). The online course is free; the exam is paid and in person. Nassau County wants its own certified food manager in high-risk places, and a second one if you are open more than 12 hours a day. Suffolk wants a certified person in charge at all hours, Rockland a Food Service Training Certificate. Schenectady wants one certified person per place, Monroe a certified food worker present whenever you are open. Ask your county. The app keeps the certificate on file, and the binder lists it.
A worker got hurt. Who do I call?
New York's private employers report to federal OSHA, not a state plan. A death is reported within 8 hours. An in-patient hospital stay, an amputation or the loss of an eye within 24 hours (29 CFR 1904.39). Call the federal OSHA 24-hour hotline, 1-800-321-6742. The app keeps the injury report with the time and who wrote it.
When do I apply for the permit, and how long does it last?
At least 21 days before you open (10 NYCRR 14-1.190). It goes to your county health department, or the state district office for your county. In the five boroughs it goes to the city's Health Department. Workers' compensation and paid family leave coverage come first; no permit issues without them. The permit lasts up to 2 years (14-1.192). The county start page names your office.
What does it cost?
Solo (1 to 2 people) is $8 a month. Small (3 to 6) is $24. Team (7 to 12) is $40. Kitchen (13 or more) is $69. Churches pay $19 per building. The 25 free days start when you add a card on Stripe's page. Cancel before they end and you pay nothing. 25 days free. Cancel anytime.
Can my staff see billing?
No. Staff and managers get no billing screens. Admins and owners do.
Can I read my staff's health answers?
No. You see whether they are OK to work. The answers are stored, and the screens hide them from managers and owners.
Is the binder signed or stamped by anyone?
No. It is a plain PDF of your records, for you to hand over.
I have two locations.
Each location has its own binder.
Your binder is ready when the inspector is.
