BASELINE
Create a condition baseline
Map each system, complete the initial cleaning and capture enough documentation to compare future accumulation.
INTERVAL
Adjust from evidence
Fuel, menu, hours and grease production vary by system. Use qualified inspection and applicable requirements rather than one blanket interval.
PORTFOLIO
Standardize multi-site closeout
Use consistent naming, photo positions, deficiency categories and document storage across locations.
- System ID convention
- Access and alarm notes
- Preferred shutdown window
- Manager sign-off
- Deficiency escalation contact
FAQ
Operational questions
Can every hood use the same interval?
Not necessarily. Different cooking duties can accumulate grease at different rates.
Can service dates be coordinated?
Often, but route, access and shutdown constraints should be confirmed in writing.
