Use KitchenGrade in ChatGPT
Ask about a restaurant, confirm its exact location and explore its dated inspection history. KitchenGrade brings the same independent grades and official report links you see here into your conversation.
Coverage: captured Florida DBPR records for Lake, Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties. These are independent KitchenGrade grades, not letter grades issued by DBPR or a guarantee of food safety.

The result should confirm the exact restaurant, current independent grade, inspection date and official report link. Grades can change when new records arrive.

What this connection can access
It can search public restaurant records and read a grade by exact establishment ID. It cannot change a grade, submit a report, manage alerts or read your saved restaurants, email, account or device location.
Use public restaurant names, cities or addresses in your questions. ChatGPT sends the search terms or establishment ID needed for each tool call to KitchenGrade. Ordinary hosting request metadata is processed to serve those requests. Your ChatGPT account is governed by OpenAI's settings and policies; see KitchenGrade's privacy information for this service.
If something doesn't work
- No custom MCP option?
- Your account or workspace may restrict it. Use KitchenGrade here instead; no connection is required to search the website.
- The server address shows an error in the browser?
- That address accepts MCP tool requests, not normal page visits. Paste it into the Server URL field in ChatGPT.
- KitchenGrade isn't answering with live records?
- Start a new Work chat, type @ and select the installed plugin. Ask it to confirm the exact restaurant and include the inspection date and official report link.
- A supported county is missing?
- Open the existing KitchenGrade connection in ChatGPT Plugins, choose Refresh and start a new chat. Existing conversations can retain older tool definitions.
