After the visit, paperwork is the bottleneck

The truck is back at the shop. The hood cleaning report is still on a VA's desk.

Three documentation failures that slow signoff, payment, and follow-up work. At 40 jobs a month, paying a writer $20 a report runs about $800. Doing it in-house costs the office time below.

From the field

Built for the contractor who has to defend the report.

Every block, every section reference, every required field came out of ride-alongs with kitchen-exhaust crews. The software follows the job: photos, scope, deficiencies, signoff, PDF, and Vault history.

Two report types

One report type wins the next job. The other gets this one signed off.

Inspection reports turn what you found into work you can quote. Post-cleaning reports give the GM what they need to approve and pay. Same photo source, same handoff.

Repeat revenue

Every report you send books the next one.

Two things ride out with the report: the work you found, and the date they need you back. Both turn a finished job into the next one.

Deficiencies

What you photographed is work you can quote.

Location, condition found, photo, and recommended action go out inside the report. The GM approves repair work off the document instead of hearing about it on a call three days later.

Deficiency block, every report
Next service date

The date they need you back rides along with it.

Every report carries the next service date, and it stays in the client Vault next to the service history. Rebooking becomes a reminder you already sent, not a cold call in six months.

Stamped on the cover, stored in the Vault

Pick what the kitchen cooks. The report carries the service-planning recommendation and the next service date. Verify the current standard, local AHJ, customer, and insurer requirements before relying on it.

Why not the old workflow?

Hood cleaning reports need more than a template.

Templates, photo folders, VAs, and generic field software each solve one piece. HoodCleaningReport is built for the customer-ready record after a kitchen exhaust job.

PDF template
Where it breaks

Starts blank and still needs photos, notes, formatting, and delivery.

What HCR does instead

Starts from the job record and produces the branded report PDF.

CompanyCam only
Where it breaks

Stores proof, but the customer still has to interpret a photo folder.

What HCR does instead

Turns the photo set into scope, deficiencies, signoff, and a shareable service record.

VA report writer
Where it breaks

Adds delay, per-report cost, and another review pass when fields are missed.

What HCR does instead

Keeps the workflow in-house: AI drafts, required fields stay visible, you approve.

Job management software
Where it breaks

Handles scheduling and invoices, but not hood-specific inspection documentation.

What HCR does instead

Focuses on NFPA 96 fields, AHJ handoff, photos, certificates, and Vault history.

Pricing

Stop paying by the report.

Slide it up to your job count. We will show which plan fits, what each report costs you, and how much report assembly you can stop paying for. Flat monthly, cancel anytime.

Common questions

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.

After the trial your workspace goes read-only until you pick 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, 20 reports, 5 team seats) gives you 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, 50 reports) 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.

You don't get blocked. Reports above your monthly 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.

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, GPS metadata, 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. The workflow keeps scope, system checks, deficiencies, signoff, photos, and service-planning notes together. HoodCleaningReport is a documentation tool. It does not certify work, determine compliance, or guarantee approval by an AHJ, insurer, or customer. 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.

Photos to report

Finish the job and the paperwork on the same day.

Three reports or three days, free, no card required. Connect your photos, create the branded PDF, and send it to the GM and AHJ while the job is still fresh. Signoff and payment stop waiting on you.

No credit card for trial. Demo available for teams.
