Karen Eats

Roaches don't show up in star ratings.

Karen Eats decodes real health inspection records: free, public, and honest. Tap any restaurant in Apple/Google Maps or Yelp and Karen tells you if the kitchen is actually clean.

WHAT KAREN DOES
• Turns government health inspections into a 0–100 Karen Score
• Flags pest and rodent activity, repeat violations, and recent closures
• Shows the last several inspection results, not just one
• Pulls from official county, city, and state health department records
• Updates as new inspections are published

WHERE KAREN WORKS
200,000+ restaurants across the US and Canada:
• California: LA, San Diego, Orange, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Bernardino, Riverside, and more
• New York City: all five boroughs
• Chicago, IL
• Florida: statewide
• Toronto, ON

WHY KAREN EXISTS
Yelp tells you if the food was good. Google tells you the place is open. Neither tells you whether the kitchen has a rodent infestation, was shut down last month, or has been written up four times for the same temperature violation.

Health departments publish that data. Karen reads it for you.

APPLE MAPS INTEGRATION
Found a place in Apple/Google Maps or Yelp? Tap Share → Karen Eats. Score, citations, closure history, two taps, no copy-paste, no separate search.

WHAT THE SCORE MEANS
• 80–100: Looking Good
• 60–79: Sketchy
• 40–59: Yikes
• Below 40: Nope

The score blends recency, severity, repeat violations, and pest activity. Cleaner record = higher score. The methodology is transparent inside the app.

KAREN IS FREE
No ads. No paywall. No tracking pixels selling your lunch plans to a data broker. The app exists because public health records should actually be readable by the public.

KAREN IS HONEST
Every score links back to the source health department record. If you disagree with Karen, you can read the underlying inspection yourself and make your own call.

If Karen has saved you from a sketchy meal, the only marketing she has is your review. Leave one.
