OK Kosher Takes Over Kehilla Kosher, Kosher Restaurants Worried

I hear: OK.org is the second largest national kosher organization.
Wants to take the keys away from owners. Mandatory Mashgiach temidi$$$$.
Will put the small guys out of business. OK doesn’t care!
Well firstly, their base monthly fee is going up, though they haven’t indicated how much. I’d say no less than $1,000 a week!
For the Mashgiach temidi, only the Mashgiach will have keys.
No entrance without the Mashgiach.
Unless you can lock up all the fridges separately.
People also don’t want to go to RCC, because they feel they are corrupt, sporadic in their policies and unfair.
The next tier of Kashrus, say Rabbi Benzaquen of KOLA, is not accepted by all. But, if you sell to a major organization, say a school, they require a higher level Hashgacha.
