Typical fine for an expired health permit at re-inspection

You didn't open a restaurant to babysit five government calendars. That's our job now.

The Fine-Free Guarantee

If your restaurant ever gets fined for an expired permit, license, or certification that PermitPilot was tracking and failed to warn you about, we pay the fine. Up to $2,000.

1

You confirm your renewal dates at setup — we load them with you on your audit call.

2

We alert you and your GM by text and email at 30, 14, 7 and 1 days before anything expires.

3

If we tracked it, we didn't alert you, and you got fined for it, send us the citation. We pay up to $2,000.

The fine print, stated up front:

The guarantee covers items entered in your dashboard with confirmed dates. It doesn't cover permits you never told us about, alerts you received and sat on, or fines unrelated to expiration (like a failed inspection). Full terms on the guarantee page. No gotchas, just the honest boundary.

Why we can offer this: because the reminder system is the product. If it works, we never pay. If it doesn't, you shouldn't be the one holding the bill.
