As a restaurant or nightlife operator, how do you keep track of renewing all your permits and licenses on time? How do you earn an A Letter Grade on your Health Department inspections? How do you stay on top of important deadlines?

These are all great questions that I’ve discussed in detail with restaurateurs over the years. I’ve had chefs call me in a panic saying their Health Department permits inadvertently expired because they don’t recall getting the renewal notice in the mail, or they are confused about when they’ll get their next Letter Grade inspection. Restaurateurs have emailed me explaining how a general manager who is no longer with their company never forwarded them the calendar invite as a reminder to renew their sidewalk cafe license, and now they may have to go through the expensive and time consuming process of reapplying and missing a whole season of outdoor seating, as a result.  And, I won’t even get into the discussions I’ve had about renewing insurance policies and issuing employee Notice of Pay Rate forms.

All of this got me thinking about how we could help members of the NYC Hospitality Alliance manage these important tasks. The answer was simple. Let’s develop our own technology platform, available exclusively to members. And now we’re proud to introduce a new and easy way to stay in compliance with COM.PLY.  

No more complicated spreadsheets. No more scrambling over last minute renewals because the person responsible is no longer with your company. No more risking that a permit renewal notice gets lost in the mail. It’s easy with COM.PLY: Just log into your account, choose an event type and select your license or permit. Then enter the issuance date and set a reminder to notify you and selected team members before it expires.

It’s important for restaurants to earn and keep an A Letter Grade from the Health Department. That’s why keeping track of when you’ll be inspected and making sure your team is always practicing A grade food safety is a must. With COM.PLY: Input the date you were inspected, select the number of points issued by the inspector and hit submit. COM.PLY will alert you before your re-inspection and prior to entering your new Letter Grade inspection cycle.
