Yelp today announced it’ll be adding health inspection scores to the profiles of hundreds of thousands of restaurants across America. Now you’ll be able to see if your favorite local watering hole is as clean as it looks or if inspectors found some dirty secrets.
Yelp started its LIVES, or Local Inspector Value-Entry Specification, program in 2013 in partnership with San Francisco and New York. LIVES is a data standard which allows city inspectors to publish the results of a restaurant inspection directly to the restaurant’s Yelp page. It’s been used and refined in profiles for 200,000 places since then.
