A daily list of restaurants to call, built from public inspection data
A former inspector with a simple offer
Jonathan Vinh is a former health inspector in the Las Vegas valley. His business, Vinh Food Safety, helps family restaurants stay ready for inspection: mock inspections, help after a downgrade, staff training and food safety plans.
His promise is education. His site says it plainly: food safety “should be something you understand.” We built three things around that promise: the website, a free course and a lead app with a daily monitor.
A website that answers inspection questions
vinhfoodsafety.com has 31 pages. Each service has its own page and its price. Guides explain how the Southern Nevada Health District grades a kitchen: 0 to 10 demerits is an A, 11 to 20 a B, 21 to 40 a C, and 41 or more closes the kitchen until the problems are fixed.
Every service shows its price before anyone has to ask. A mock health inspection starts at $249. Re-Inspection Rescue, for a kitchen that was downgraded to a B or a C, is $1,250 flat. Staff training is $450 a session. And the first step is free: a walk-through, where he tells the owner honestly what they need and what they do not.
These are the questions an owner has after an inspection, answered by someone who used to hold the clipboard. On October 8 the site built clean at all 31 pages, and the app passed all 358 of its tests.
The resources section goes further: grades explained, what happens after a failed inspection, the most-cited violations, and a checklist for passing. The site is written for the restaurants it serves: independent and family-owned kitchens, Asian and Latino family kitchens, food trucks, ghost kitchens and new openings.
A free course: Know What the Inspector Knows
The course is free, with no sign-up. All 8 modules are live, each about 15 minutes, and they are made to finish on a phone between rushes. Every module is a short illustrated story, a plain-words lesson, a three-question self-check and a printable for the wall.
The modules build from the knock on the door in module 1 to re-inspection day in module 8. We checked the course facts against the health district's 2023 regulations.
The morning list
Here is the part that runs on its own. The health district publishes its inspection results as a public bulk download. Every day at 9am Pacific, our monitor downloads it and keeps the new B and C downgrades and the closures. Then it emails a ranked list of those kitchens to the business.
It is a sales list built from public facts. A restaurant that just got a B has a re-inspection coming. A former inspector who explains the system, in plain words, is exactly the help it needs.
The list feeds Vinh Manager, the small lead app we built for the business. An AI agent works the list through a narrow set of actions: leads, follow-ups and outreach, and nothing else. It is a tool with a short list of jobs, not a chat window.
What it adds up to
A small business now has a website that answers the questions restaurant owners search for, a free course that earns their trust, and a fresh list of kitchens to call every morning.
