Publication number: 20190354907Abstract: A system includes a server connected to a network. The server includes a data collection module, a database interaction module, and a predictive analysis module. The data collection module is configured to collect data, via the network, from one or more data sources, the data being related to food safety risk and sanitation compliance tracking of a food establishment. The database interaction module is configured to store, into a database, data collected by the data collection module and to retrieve data from the database. The predictive analysis module is configured to analyze data in the database and calculate, based on the analyzed data, a probability of the food establishment violating a health code.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2019Publication date: November 21, 2019Inventors: Nicolas A. Granucci, Jeffrey L. Testa, Kevin S. Smyth, Adam T. Johnson, Tracy A. Thomas, Darrell B. Wiser, Gregory B. Hayes
