Frequently Asked Questions
What permits can PermitsPilot track for restaurants?
PermitsPilot tracks all restaurant compliance credentials: health and food establishment permits, liquor licenses, food handler certifications per employee, business licenses, and fire safety certificates. Upload any document and AI extracts the expiration date automatically.
How does PermitsPilot handle food handler certifications for individual employees?
Each employee's food handler certification can be tracked as a separate permit entry. You'll get reminders for each certificate before it expires, so you're always in compliance with food safety staffing requirements.
Can PermitsPilot track permits across multiple restaurant locations?
Yes. PermitsPilot supports multiple locations. Each restaurant location gets its own permit register with its own renewal schedule — all visible in one unified dashboard.
Can I set custom alert schedules?
Yes. Unlike basic trackers, PermitsPilot allows you to set unique reminder windows per permit. Set a 90-day warning for your liquor license and a 7-day warning for a food handler cert.
