Red Alert — Emergency Orders
14 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
RUMROASTERS in Davie, TACOCRAFT TAQUERIA AND TEQUILA BAR in Plantation and HAPPY HOUSE in Fort Lauderdale led the board in Broward. 14 emergency-order shutdowns in the 90-day window — DBPR ordered the kitchen closed on the spot. These are the most actionable signals: faster than admin actions, faster than license cancellation, faster than corporate dissolution. Across the Red Alert cohort: 1 Caribbean, 1 Chinese, 1 Pizza, and 1 Tacos. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut.

Closures — what just stopped operating
186 records this window
The closed-door file: confirmed shutdowns, owner-validated closure posts, DBPR status signals, and external places data that say service has stopped.
MB PARTY INC in Hallandale, FOXY BROWN in Fort Lauderdale and KHANA KHZANA in Coral Springs led the board in Broward. 186 restaurants carry one or more defunct-indicator signals (silent inspector, license inactive, corp dissolved, or third-party verifier confirmation) in the 90-day public window. Across the closure-signal cohort: 20 fast-food spots, 18 donuts, 14 sandwiches, and 8 burgers. 124 standalone restaurants and 61 chain locations. Trend line: closure-signals volume is steady against the last public cut. These are signals, not all confirmed permanent closures — Closure Score 4/4 = third-party verified; lower scores = likely / probable / DBPR-flagged-inactive.
