- how hygienically the food is handled – how it is prepared, cooked, re-heated, cooled and stored

- the condition of the structure of the buildings – the cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation and other facilities

- how the business manages and records what it does to make sure food is safe At the end of the inspection, the business is given one of the six ratings from 0-5.
