The Restaurant Establishments dataset contains data for restaurants, bars, schools, hospitals, food trucks, and other food service providers operating in the City of Detroit. By Michigan State Law, these establishments must obtain food service licenses and get inspected regularly to ensure they are following food safety regulations. The data in this dataset is gathered during licensing and inspection processes. Two closely related datasets, Restaurant Inspections and Violations Cited per Restaurant Inspection, have data gathered during food safety inspections. The Detroit Health Department provides this data and is responsible for licensing and inspecting food service establishments in Detroit to ensure the establishments are meeting food safety standards. Establishment records created or updated between August 1, 2016 and the date of the most recent data update are available in this dataset.
