Ta Ohana Mix GrillFlorida DBPR inspection record

Florida DBPR — the state agency that licenses and inspects mobile food vendors and caterers. We pull every public inspection record and refresh weekly. The inspection facts (dates, violations, dispositions) are DBPR's, exactly as the state's inspectors filed them. The VMScore grade layered on top is our own analysis of that record; we never change the underlying data.

DBPR's portal is free, and worth using. The VMScore report is free too: it scores the vendor 0 to 100, formats the full inspection history, flags every high-priority violation, and gives you one document to email a client, drop in a vendor file, or hand your insurer. Read it and download it with no account and no card. The paid part is the platform around it: ongoing monitoring of the vendors you book, and combined reports across a whole event roster.

DBPR's most severe category — direct food-safety hazards: improper food temperatures, raw meat contaminating ready-to-eat food, employees not washing hands, undercooked food, toxic chemicals stored near food. Intermediate violations are operational gaps (no soap at the handwash sink); basic violations are facility wear (cracked tile, dim lighting).

Two things. First, Florida marks most routine visits "Inspection Completed - No Further Action" — a pass — even when the inspector recorded violations that day, so a "pass" is not the same as "clean." Read the violation count on each visit, not just the pass label. Second, the VMScore reflects the vendor's full inspection record, with the most recent visits weighted heaviest. A clean recent visit lifts the grade and shows in the trend, but it doesn't erase earlier high-priority violations still inside the scoring window.

Every figure comes straight from Florida DBPR's official public records, with the inspection dates attached. Cross-check any line against the state portal yourself, the link is right on the page. If something doesn't match, tell us and we'll correct it.

Many venues keep a documented vendor-vetting file as part of their liability and due-diligence process. A dated, third-party-sourced VMScore PDF is the kind of record that fits in that file. We can't speak for any carrier, so confirm what your own insurer needs and how they want it documented.

No. The report is free to read and download, with no account, no card on file, and no upsells. Ongoing monitoring and roster-wide reports live in the VenuMark platform, which you can start free.
