### EHO Inspection Scoring Criteria
The UK National Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (0 to 5 Stars) is evaluated across 3 distinct pillars:
1. **Food Hygiene & Safety (0-25 points)**: Food handling, cooking temperatures, cooling, cross-contamination prevention.
2. **Structural Cleanliness (0-25 points)**: Layout, ventilation, pest-proofing, handwash sinks stocked with soap and paper towels.
3. **Confidence in Management (0-30 points)**: Up-to-date **Safer Food, Better Business (SFBB)** pack, daily opening/closing checks, staff training records, probe calibration logs.
To achieve **5 Stars**, the store must score no more than 5 points in any single category. A missing temperature log immediately drops the rating to 3 Stars or lower!
