NFPA 96 baseline in every report you publish

50 states + DC are wired into the contact and licensing forms. State-specific fields cover known license labels like FDNY W-64/P-64 and Massachusetts State Fire Marshal certificates. Local AHJs can ask for more, so HCR builds the packet without pretending to replace local approval.

Standards references are report fields and documentation aids. HoodCleaningReport does not certify work, guarantee acceptance, or replace your AHJ, fire marshal, insurer, or legal advisor.

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.

Problem 01 3 days late

The post-clean hood cleaning report sits 3 days after the visit.

The clean is done. The PDF is not. That delay slows sign-off and payment.

Problem 02 A week of lost bids

The proposal waits behind the inspection write-up.

No inspection PDF means no proposal. Follow-up waits while the bid cools.

Problem 03 $20 per report

The VA still misses fields. And you still pay per report.

Missing fields turn a finished job into a callback and another review pass.

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.

The frequency engine

Pick your kitchen. Get the right service frequency.

NFPA Table 11.4 sets the cleaning frequency by what you cook. We populate it on every report cover. Inspectors check it first.

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

Replace per-report admin work with a flat reporting workflow.

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

Common questions

Hood cleaning report software questions, answered.

Connect CompanyCam and pull any project's photos into a new report. The structured builder fills scope, deficiencies, and the §11.4.13 service label from the photo set and the cooking-operation type. Service date, next-service date, and Table 11.4 frequency populate automatically. You review, adjust, and approve before publish. No VA, no re-typing.

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.

Every account starts with a free trial: 3 reports or 3 days, whichever comes first. No credit card required. You get the full builder, NFPA 96 and ANSI/IKECA C10 reporting fields, branded PDFs, and CompanyCam import 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.

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.

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.

Built around the 2024 NFPA 96 edition and ANSI/IKECA C10 Chapter 11 reporting fields. The builder keeps scope of work, grease readings, system checks, deficiency tracking, fire suppression notes, digital signatures, photo documentation, and cleaning frequency in one place. The PDF includes technician signoff language for the service record. HoodCleaningReport does not certify compliance or guarantee AHJ acceptance. Whether a specific job meets the standard is a judgment call your inspector makes on-site.

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.

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 frequency auto-calculates from NFPA 96 Table 11.4. Solid fuel is monthly. High-volume operations such as 24-hour cooking, charbroiling, or wok cooking are quarterly. Moderate-volume operations are semi-annual, and low-volume operations are annual. Local AHJs, insurers, or customers can require a shorter interval.

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, description, the relevant NFPA 96 or ANSI/IKECA C10 reference, a photo of the issue, a target resolution date, and your recommended action. That gives the GM and AHJ a clear record of what was found and what still needs action.

NYC requires commercial cooking exhaust systems to be cleaned by someone with an FDNY Certificate of Fitness (W-64/P-64), and the person must work for an FDNY-approved company. Our form has dedicated fields for these when you select New York as your operating state. Always verify current requirements with FDNY.

Massachusetts requires anyone who cleans and inspects commercial cooking exhaust systems to hold a State Fire Marshal certificate of competency. Select Massachusetts in the form and the relevant fields appear automatically. State requirements change, so always verify 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.
