# Posted grade

A term used when buying restaurant.

Some states and cities post the health inspection score or grade where customers see it at the door.

It is the only one of these checks whose result is shown to the customer, which makes it a marketing number as well as a compliance one. North Carolina sets both the thresholds and the cliff: ninety and above is an A, eighty to ninety a B, seventy to eighty a C, and a score under seventy revokes the permit immediately. The rule even fixes the card's lettering at an inch and a half so the grade cannot be made discreet. Ask for two years of scores and read the violations behind them, because a B earned on structure costs money and a B earned on food handling costs a manager.
