How it works

Job photos in.
Inspection-ready PDF out.

One form. Six pages of PDF. Every field mapped to the 2024 NFPA 96 edition and ANSI/IKECA C10 Chapter 11. Here's the walkthrough, end to end.

~10 minutes per report 6-page PDF 2024 NFPA 96 + IKECA C10

The flow

Three steps, nothing more.

The form and the PDF were designed together. Everything you type has a cell. Everything the standard asks for has a field. You stop guessing.

01 Fill the form ~5 minutes

Answer what the standard asks, nothing it doesn't.

The form mirrors the 2024 NFPA 96 and ANSI/IKECA C10 Chapter 11 checklist, section by section. You type site, restaurant, technician, cooking operation, scope, grease readings, and deficiencies once. The PDF builds itself.

  • Restaurant and site details, service date, and technician identity
  • Cooking operation classification drives NFPA §11.4 cleaning-frequency logic
  • Scope of work with bare-metal confirmation per NFPA §11.6.2
  • Grease-depth readings (µm) and system-check passes/fails
  • Fire suppression inspection with last-serviced date
  • State-specific license fields appear automatically for NY, MA, NJ, CA
02 Upload photos ~3 minutes

Before, after, and anything you couldn't reach.

Drag and drop directly from your phone. Three before/after pairs is the defensible minimum. We keep EXIF so timestamps and GPS stay on the record. If you couldn't access a panel, photograph the reason.

  • JPG, PNG, HEIC accepted; auto-orient and compress on upload
  • Optional caption for location and condition per photo
  • Location/time pulled from EXIF when available, editable if not
  • Mark each photo as Before, After, or Deficiency
  • Deficiency photos link to the NFPA section they violate
03 Download report ~10 seconds

Six-page branded PDF, ready to hand over.

One click produces the full report. Email it to the restaurant, attach it to your invoice, or print it for the fire marshal's binder. Every report carries the certification language from §11.4.13–§11.4.15.

  • Cover page with job, site, technician, and compliance summary
  • Scope-of-work matrix and grease-depth table
  • Photo log, grid-arranged with captions
  • Deficiency ledger linked to NFPA section
  • Legal certification block and dual signatures
  • State-required submission notes when applicable
