The single biggest fine handed out last year was issued to KFC Chermside, which copped a $45,000 penalty last August over a lack of cleanliness, issues with the hand-washing facilities and the presence of pests.

Other major restaurant fines handed out in 2016 were to Sunnybank's Jiu Wan Ban ($37,600), West End Garden ($37,500), China Kitchen Pinelands at Sunnybank Hills ($36,000) and Red Lotus Vietnamese at Annerley ($35,000).
