Afterall, its a snapshot in time. What does it really tell you about the operation?
Each to their own I guess.
I cannot speak for where you are, but here it can tell you that at the time of the inspection snapshot the place was so filthy and badly managed they need to improve. Sometimes a place is given a few days to improve and is then reinspected. The rating has several elements that include the hygiene processes, maintenance of safe storage, including temperature, pasteurisation of foods, structural compliance ie state if the kitchen and equipment. and confidence in management which will include the training of staff and their record keeping.
If a management can be that bad at
any time it would make me wonder whether I would want to have food from them at all, or at least until it is reinspected and the results are more reassuring really.
That information I find useful and presumed most would.
