How this estimate works
Revenue lost to closure is calculated as daily revenue × closure days. This is a conservative estimate. Actual loss includes food spoilage, staff pay during closure, and customer attrition.
Re-inspection fees vary by jurisdiction. Common ranges: California letter-grade jurisdictions $200 to $450, Texas jurisdictions $100 to $300, Florida DBPR $100 to $200. Confirm your exact fee with your local health department.
Consultant cost uses $200/hr, which is within the typical range of $100 to $350/hr for food safety consultants.
