OOOOH YEAAH! Statewide frame: Orange County's failure rate is 54% above the Florida average. Orange County's current board shows 424 recent high-priority hits. Mix: 2 American spots, 1 Bar, 1 Brunch, and 1 Chinese. BROTHER.
Emergency Orders
54 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
OH YEAH, MEAN GENE! ICHI NI SAN in Daytona Beach, BEIRUT GRILL AND DELI in Oviedo and HAYSTAX RESTAURANT in Mount Dora put the sharpest marks on Orange County's list. 54 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 Chinese, 1 Diner, 1 Ice Cream, and 1 Lebanese. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut. OH YEAH.

Near Miss
424 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
THE CREAM RISES TO THE TOP — OH YEAH! PIZZA RAYS SUBMARINE SANDWICHES in Port Orange, MEXICAN RESTAURANT LAS CAZUELAS LLC in Orlando and THE TROFF 2.0 in Eustis put the sharpest marks on Orange County's list. 424 high-priority citations posted in the 30-day window — none of these resulted in an emergency-order closure (those are in Red Alert). They are the near-miss watch list: restaurants that drew inspector attention but stayed open. Any of them could receive a follow-up inspection. The recurring violation labels were HP and INT.

Closures
169 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.
SNAP INTO IT! PEACOCK INDIAN KITCHEN INC in Cocoa, CHINA MASTER in Daytona Beach and THE PELICAN BISTRO in Port Orange drew the loudest scorecard in Orange County. 169 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: 8 cafes, 7 pizza spots, 7 restaurants, and 5 American spots. 143 standalone restaurants and 7 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. OOOOH YEAH.
