Commercial Kitchen Hood

Grease building up behind the filters faster than anyone in the kitchen is checking for it

A kitchen hood's suppression system is only as good as the grease buildup behind it, and that's a daily line-cook glance, not a quarterly cleaner's job. A sticker by the pull station makes it a real record.

How it works

Three steps from sticker to audit trail

No rollout project and no training day. The tag on the hood system is the entire interface.

1

Tag every hood system

Durable QR labels arrive pre-registered to your account. Nothing onthe sticker identifies you — the link between tag and company lives on the server.

2

First scan sets it up

Scanning an unclaimed code walks you through naming the hood system, choosing a checklist and setting how often it needs checking.

3

Every scan after is the record

Anyone with a phone sees when it was last inspected and files the next one. Overdue hood systems surface before an inspector finds them.

On the checklist

What a hood system check actually covers

Start from a checklist that already knows the job, then change anything you want. Daily filter check, monthly grease buildup check, quarterly professional cleaning.

  • Filters in place, not warped or missing
  • Visible grease buildup within acceptable limits
  • Fire suppression nozzles unobstructed
  • Pull station accessible and unblocked
  • Fusible links free of grease coating

Why it has to be provable

NFPA 96

Requires regular inspection of grease buildup on hood surfaces and filters, and periodic professional cleaning, with documentation retained.

Cited as a guide to what auditors look for. Confirm the edition and any local amendments that apply to your site — adoption varies by jurisdiction.

Our cleaning company already logs their quarterly service — why add daily checks?

The cleaning company's log covers the deep clean, not the grease that accumulates in the weeks after. A quick daily or weekly scan by kitchen staff catches buildup between services, which is what actually causes hood fires.

Why teams switch

Built for restaurant owners and kitchen managers doing daily grease checks between quarterly professional cleanings

The spreadsheet was never the problem. Proving the check actually happened is.

Evidence, not assertions

Every inspection carries its timestamp, the person who filed it and the photos they took. A record that cannot be back-dated is worth more than one that can.

Overdue surfaces itself

Assets past their interval are flagged on the dashboard and emailed to whoever owns them, so a missed check is noticed by you and not by an inspector.
