Hood cleaning report software for kitchen exhaust contractors

Turn job photos into a hood cleaning report before the truck leaves the lot.

Every job publishes a branded report from the photos you already shot: scope, a numbered photo record, deficiencies with NFPA 96 references, and recommendations. The GM gets a clear service record: photos, scope, deficiencies, and recommendations in one PDF. No template to fill out on Tuesday.

Free trial: 3 reports or 3 days. No card required. Set up in minutes.

6 photos in. One PDF out, same shift.

Documentation approach

Built around the proof a service record needs: scope, photos, deficiencies, and next steps.

Scope, photos, deficiencies, and recommendations land in one document you can hand over without a follow-up call.

The truck left. The proof is a text thread and a template you fill out on Tuesday.

Three ways thin documentation costs you money: the report that lands after the invoice, the proposal that waits behind it, and the deficiency that never made it onto paper. The calculator under pricing puts a number on it for your job count.


How it works

Leave the parking lot with the report already sent.

Pull the tagged photos, review the draft, send the PDF. The paperwork is done before the next job, not after dinner.

One report type supports the next quote. The other documents the completed job.

Inspection reports turn what you found into work you can quote. Post-cleaning reports give the GM a clear record to review. Same photo source, same handoff.

Hood cleaning report software questions, answered.

Every account starts with a free trial: 3 reports or 3 days, whichever comes first. No credit card required. You get the full builder, documentation fields informed by NFPA 96 and ANSI/IKECA C10, branded PDFs, and CompanyCam connection during the trial. Reports you generated during the trial stay yours and remain downloadable.

Nothing is deleted or locked. You keep every draft, photo and PDF you made, and can download them any time. Starting a new report, publishing, or making a new PDF needs a plan: Standard at $49/mo (20 reports, AI inspection and post-clean reports, the Document Vault, CompanyCam import, 5 team seats), Pro at $89/mo (50 reports, custom branding, in-app email, audit trail, 10 team seats), or Business at $109/mo (unlimited reports and seats). Reports you already shipped stay accessible to recipients. We don't charge you automatically. We send a reminder, you decide.

The report itself is the same across paid plans. Standard ($49/mo) includes 20 reports and 5 team seats: AI inspection and post-clean reports, the builder, branded PDF, deficiency tracking, photo documentation with EXIF, CompanyCam import, and the Document Vault for login-free sharing. Pro ($89/mo) includes 50 reports and adds custom branding, in-app email to multiple recipients (GM, AHJ, owner in one send), the audit trail of who opened what, 10 team seats, and priority support. Business ($109/mo) includes unlimited reports and unlimited seats. Through 31 and 32 to 58 are the lowest-cost bands after overages, not a second included allotment.

You don't get blocked. Standard includes 20 reports per month and Pro includes 50. Reports above that included quota are billed at $3.50 each on Standard or $2.25 each on Pro, itemized on your next invoice. Business includes unlimited reports, so there is no overage. We send email warnings at 80% and 100% of quota so you're never surprised. If you'd rather hard-cap, that's a setting in your account. The through 31 and 32 to 58 figures on this page are lowest-cost volume after those overages, not the included allotment.

Connect CompanyCam and pull a project's photos into a new report. The structured builder helps capture scope, deficiencies, service dates, and a service-planning recommendation from the photo set and cooking-operation type. You review, adjust, and approve before publishing.

Yes, on every plan. Pull a CompanyCam project's photos into a new report, or import photos onto an existing project. Tags, captions, and the original creator name carry across. CompanyCam-imported reports are ready to publish into the Document Vault with a recipient share link ready to send.

Yes. The Document Vault is a branded client portal: one signed link gives a GM, owner, or AHJ access to every post-clean and inspection report you've ever delivered for that location. Service history, next service date, full PDF archive, no login required. Reports stay in the Vault forever, on every plan.

No. The Document Vault on every plan gives every report a signed share link. The recipient opens a branded landing page with your logo, the facility name, the service date, and the PDF. No account, no friction. You can revoke any link at any time. On Pro and Business, you also see who opened it, when, and from which country in your audit trail, and you can apply custom per-client branding inside the share page.

Documentation fields informed by NFPA 96 and ANSI/IKECA C10. HoodCleaningReport is a documentation tool. It does not certify work, determine compliance, or guarantee approval by an AHJ, insurer, or customer. The workflow keeps scope, system checks, deficiencies, signoff, photos, and service-planning notes together. Confirm the currently adopted requirements and your jurisdiction's expectations before relying on a report field.

No. Standard works for any commercial kitchen exhaust job. Contractors file reports for hotels, hospitals, schools, casinos, stadiums, senior living, corporate cafeterias, food courts, correctional facilities, and military bases. The same report workflow applies across those commercial kitchen exhaust jobs.

JPG, PNG, and HEIC. Take photos with location services enabled. We recommend adding captions with the location and time for each photo to strengthen your documentation.

Select the cooking operation type and the tool produces a service-planning recommendation. Verify the currently adopted standard, local AHJ requirements, customer contracts, and insurer rules before relying on an interval; they can require a shorter schedule.

Yes, on every plan. Upload once and it appears on every report cover, every page header, and the client-facing Document Vault share page. Pro and Business add custom per-client branding (colors, contacts) inside reports and the Vault on top of your default logo.

Use the Deficiencies section. Log the location, condition found, supporting photo, target resolution date, and recommended action. Add a jurisdiction-specific reference only after verifying it. That gives the GM and AHJ a clear record of what was found and what still needs action.

NYC has credential and company requirements for commercial cooking exhaust work. Verify the current FDNY W-64/P-64 guidance and use applicable fields where your account is configured; the report does not replace FDNY approval.

Massachusetts has state requirements for commercial cooking exhaust cleaning and inspection. Verify the current State Fire Marshal guidance and use applicable fields where your account is configured. State requirements change, so confirm with your local AHJ or mass.gov.

Depends on your jurisdiction. Some AHJs require reports or deficiency records to be submitted on a specific timeline. HCR helps keep the report packet complete, but you should always verify submission rules with the local fire marshal.

Finish the job and the paperwork before the truck leaves.

Three reports or three days, free, no card required. Every job publishes a branded report: photos, scope, deficiencies, and recommendations in one PDF. You keep the service history that backs up the contract at renewal.

No credit card for trial. Demo available for teams.
