- theden 10y agoBadFood shows an interactive map of restaurants in Sydney that have been given a penalty from The Department of Primary Industries Food Authority. So it makes the public name and shame list of restaurants being negligent with health and safety more accessible through a map Here's the repo, in case you're interested in the backend: https://github.com/theden/badfood https://github.com/theden/badfood
- WhiteFoxx 10y agoWhile I agree that the penalties for breaching food hygiene / safety standards should be high, I think a site like this has pretty serious flaws. Lets say a restaurant cleans up their act after being previously penalised. Can they ever get off this site? How about if the business is sold and the problems of previous management solved?
- theden 10y agoEach marker has the date issued of the fine listed, and I purge them after a while—it much maps to what the government has publicly listed, though I agree it's not ideal/perfect.
- helb 10y agoWe have something similar in the Czech Republic, run directly by the food inspection authority –– http://www.potravinynapranyri.cz/Search.aspx?sentcity=&lang=en&design=default&archive=actual&listtype=map http://www.potravinynapranyri.cz/Search.aspx?sentcity=&lang=...
