How our grades work. Each grade is Pass or Plate's own independent assessment, based on publicly available inspection records over a recent ~9-month window — so recent problems matter more and genuine improvement is rewarded. These are our assessment, not official government grades.

Questions people ask

The short version: Pass or Plate™ makes Alberta's health-inspection records easy to read, so you never have to gamble on where you eat.

What is Pass or Plate™?

Pass or Plate™ is a free app that shows official health-inspection results for restaurants, cafés, daycares, pools and salons across Alberta. Nobody wants to eat at a gross restaurant, but the inspection records that could warn you have always been buried in spreadsheets and PDFs. We gather them and turn each place's history into one clear A+-to-F grade you can read in a second.

Where does the data come from?

Every grade is built from public inspection records published by Alberta Health Services. These are the same official inspections done at restaurants and other facilities across the province — we simply collect them, keep them current, and make them easy to search.

Are these official government grades?

No. Alberta Health Services inspects and reports, but it does not hand out letter grades. The A+-to-F grade is Pass or Plate's own independent assessment of the public record — a fair, plain-English summary, not an official government rating.

How is the grade calculated?

Each grade focuses on a recent nine-month window, so current problems count more than old ones and a restaurant that cleans up its act is rewarded. Serious, repeated issues weigh the most; minor, one-off notes weigh the least.

How much does it cost?

Browsing is completely free — no account needed to look up any place and see its grade. An optional Pro plan removes ads and sends you a push alert whenever a restaurant or facility on your watchlist gets re-inspected.

Which areas are covered?

All of Alberta. That includes Edmonton and Calgary plus smaller cities and towns across the province — more than 50,000 places graded and kept up to date as new inspections come in.

Eat with confidence.
