    We want to help consumers answer a simple question: “How clean is the place I'm thinking about dining in?”

    HDScores will be bring transparency to the marketplace and consistency to the confusing bureaucratic reporting systems throughout the country. By letting a little sunshine in, we believe it creates a better industry for both consumers and restaurateurs.

    * Enhances the data, with our propitiatory system
    * Publishes the data in an easy to understand format
