Time to first published rating
72 days median · 120 days average
across 16,595 newly listed mobile caterers since 2022
Measured from a business appearing in the published FSA dataset to its first rating appearing there. Authorities publish with delays (appeal windows, batch updates), so this reflects the register's speed, not necessarily inspection speed.
