Successfully running a restaurant, no matter how large or small, relies on several factors, including luck. It’s possible to stay on top of everything, market the restaurant, serve quality ingredients, select a nice location, and even then, if luck is against you, there’s not much you can do. For one new restaurant in the Tucson area, that seems to be exactly the current problem and has led to it failing its health inspection. However, bad luck or not, it’s important to protect consumers.
Back on February 28, a health inspector visited Luna Cafe for the very first time (ever). Located at 14075 West Kirby Hughes Road in Marana. This was listed as an educational inspection, which is what most first-time restaurants receive. It is a walkthrough of the inspection process and issues are identified along the way. There is no real pass/fail grade given during the inspection, although outside of extreme situations, nothing ill happens to the restaurant. It functions more as a guide to help the owner with future inspections moving forward.
