Bureaucracy is terrible but the only other mainstream option is based on trust and people have a habit of abusing it. What alternatives? Someone visits the restaurant and says, "yeah that all looks OK"? Then they take a bribe and the system breaks again. At least a paper trail provides some history and ability to audit certain things, blacklist owners who posioned their customers, make sure they are paying their fees to pay for the inspections etc.
