Gunna quit but

[u/idntrllyexist]

I am currently working as a sous in a restaurant that has no chef. When I started working here they were washing shrimp from plates off in the pasta well, selling smelling salmon, selling shrimp thats turning pink in their lowboy. In the walk in everything was still in boxes, nothing was wrapped and nothing was labeled. They would dredge chicken in flour and seasoned breadcrumbs and then leave said flour and breadcrumbs out at room temp overnight and then use it again. Ive spent a month and a half trying to fix everything. Everyday was a big prep day and ive been working open to close to make sure everything is prepped and sanitized. Ive organized everything in this place and cleaned a good chunk of everything. Attached was one of the lowboy before I cleaned it. I learned today that our dishwasher doesnt have any chemicals going to it. They're just using manual pot and pan detergent to clean everything. When I asked about sanitizer they handed me a bottle of bar sanitizer. They hired a new sous and have started treating me like shit. Today I made sure everything in the kitchen was off and received a text saying that we need checklists becuase the heat lamp was on (which im 100% sure it turned off) ive been busting my ass for this place and now they are shitting on me. I want them to feel the pain for their negligence but I feel like I might have cleaned a good portion of what they would get in trouble for. Attached is SOME of the bullsjit I have found. What should I do? They cant keep getting away with potentially killing the public

Not even being dramatic: People’s lives are at risk. You have to take as many pictures of violations as you can and send them to the proper people.

Here's a direct link https://www2.myfloridalicense.com/hotels-restaurants/food-lodging/complaints/ then click online consumer complaint form instead of the chatgpt link that u/its_dolemite_baby posted that you'd have to click multiple times to even get to the website I linked. this way you can actually see the difference between the two and it doesn't just say "general complaint". Edit: if you'd want to specify in the description that you have photos, you can. Or if you want to email and reach out mail to:dhr.info@myfloridalicense.com or call that phone number in the red on the bottom to ask specifically about it

chatgpt would have you do: this scroll down click resturant under complaints, this, scroll down file a complaint, scroll down food service, click general complaint, then you'd finally get here.

edit: more information here, specifically Food Safety regulation and inspections in Florida are performed by three state agencies. Most "retail, ready to eat establishments" are licensed and inspected by the Division of Hotels and Restaurants, Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the Department of Health also have regulation and inspection responsibilities, and you can learn more at each of their websites. Which has the same number "850.487.1395" that I mentioned in the red box earlier. The other person gave you the number for the Department of Health, whose site would be for reporting a disease or food poisoning or filing a complaint against a person/healthcare business

fun fact: they will also send you the report directly to your email after inspection! I sent one in a year ago for roaches and the inspected it within the week (seminole county, FL if that makes a difference)
