It is best to take proactive steps to minimize any legal liability. First and foremost, make sure staff are properly trained on state health codes so they can identify when the restaurant has gone out of compliance. Make sure kitchen staff and restrooms are kept clean and in a good state of repair. Additionally, have routine health inspections to help head off potential code violations before they arise. Additionally, maintain records of all inspections, including follow-up care when necessary. If mistakes are made or problems occur that could affect operations, make sure to correct the problem promptly and communicate with the appropriate authorities quickly as well. Last but not least, have an effective system in place for documented notification from food regulators that establishes your awareness regarding issues raised by health inspectors after visits to assess noncompliance issues at your premise

When operating a public place out of compliance with health regulations, it is important to ensure transparency and be open and honest with customers. In addition, make sure to maintain good record keeping practices that are able to demonstrate an effort in achieving compliance. Having a knowledgeable staff available who are willing to answer customer questions also helps mitigate any potential liability. It may also be beneficial to establish partnerships with regulators who can assist in providing training or consulting advice as applicable. Ultimately, having a documented plan of action towards legalization should protect oneself from potential liability associated with running an establishment out of compliance
