- Whether inspections broaden to other legacy Mumbai restaurants or prompt sector-wide enforcement.
- Complete all pending food-test submissions, FSMP documentation and corrective-action evidence before regulatory deadlines.
- Implement daily hygiene, temperature, pest-control, water-quality and supplier traceability logs that can be produced immediately during inspections.

- Audit central kitchens, storage areas, delivery packaging and high-risk menu items to prevent a repeat finding.
- Prepare customer-service and social-media response plans for questions regarding food safety and inspection status.
