Dining with Confidence Informational Webinar

​In June of 2024, The Detroit City Council Passed the Dining with Confidence Ordinance. The DRLA, Michigan Restaurant & Lodging Association (MRLA) and the City of Detroit recorded an infomational webinar to provide an overview of the new ordinance and answer some frequently asked questions. 
The goals of the program are to increase visibility and transparency regarding Food Safety Inspections: 
  • Provide an additional incentive for restaurants to achieve lasting improvement in food safety
  • Educate the public on food safety inspections by the Detroit Health Department 
This will result in a green “In Compliance” placard, a white informational placard, or red “Enforcement/closed” placard being placed at the entrance to a restaurant or other food service establishment. 
​
In Compliance means:
  • There are either no serious violations (Priority or Priority foundation - P/Pf) or they have all been corrected
  • Less than 5 total P/Pf violations were cited
  • The establishment is not in enforcement  
  • The inspector has not required a follow-up inspection due to an overall low level of sanitation
  • The establishment has a valid food service license ​
