FrostIQ™ pulls Florida DBPR Division of Hotels and Restaurants inspection data and surfaces the pattern across a property. For a hotel director of engineering or F&B director, the question is which operations FrostIQ™ covers and where the licensing scope ends. The clean answer: anywhere DBPR licenses the F&B operation, FrostIQ™ pulls the data. Housekeeping, non-F&B refrigeration, and FL DOH-licensed pool food service in some configurations sit outside that scope.
Hotel F&B operations are licensed individually under DBPR Division of Hotels and Restaurants. Typical licensed operations at a 200+ room hotel: the main restaurant, lobby bar, banquet kitchen, room service, lobby café or grab-and-go market, employee dining facility, and pool-deck F&B (where DBPR-licensed). FrostIQ™ pulls inspection data for each.
For each licensed operation: every routine and complaint inspection over the past 5+ years, with violation type, severity, and follow-up status. Cold-holding findings are flagged. Repeat findings on the same equipment are flagged. Patterns across operations within the property are flagged. The output is a property-level dashboard the F&B director and director of engineering both read.
Restaurants, lobby bars, banquet kitchens, banquet bars, room service kitchens, lobby cafés, retail food sales (grab-and-go markets), employee dining, and pool-deck F&B where DBPR licenses the operation. ColdSentry™ probes feed live data into the same dashboard for current operations.
Housekeeping minibars in guest rooms — not licensed by DBPR as F&B operations in most cases. Pure-equipment HVAC for non-F&B spaces (lobby AC, ballroom AHU). Pool-deck operations licensed under FL DOH (rule 64E-9) rather than DBPR. Banquet floral coolers and non-F&B refrigeration. Plant-side mechanical infrastructure.
The pattern recommends the fix. Cold-holding violations clustered on the banquet kitchen during summer = HVAC and walk-in capacity. Cold-holding clustered on the lobby market grab-and-go = display case PM and ambient. Cold-holding on the prep tables in the main restaurant = line ambient and gasket cadence. The dashboard is the input to the engineering work plan.
For service-contract customers, ArcticOS™ rolls FrostIQ™ inspection data, ColdSentry™ live monitoring, dispatch ETA, work-order history, and asset registry into one portal. A regional ops director running multiple Tampa Bay properties sees the same data for each property side-by-side. The pattern across the portfolio is the input to capex prioritization.
DBPR inspection data is public record under Florida Sunshine Law. FrostIQ™ aggregates and visualizes it; nothing in the dataset is confidential. The advantage is the pattern recognition across operations and seasons, not exclusive access to data the property could not get directly.
If the pool-deck operation is DBPR-licensed, yes. Some pool-deck F&B is licensed under FL DOH (rule 64E-9) — those operations sit outside DBPR scope and FrostIQ™ does not apply.
No. Minibars are not licensed F&B operations under DBPR in most cases. The non-TCS bottled and packaged products inside are not subject to food-code inspection.
Both. Historical inspection data goes back 5+ years; new inspection findings refresh as DBPR posts them (typically within 5–10 business days of the inspection).
They cover different domains. ColdSentry™ is live equipment monitoring; FrostIQ™ is regulatory inspection pattern. Together they recommend the engineering work plan that prevents repeat findings.
