HoodOps for Hood Cleaners
Built for hood cleanersKitchen exhaust cleaning, run from your phone

The hood gets cleaned at 2 AM. You wake up to the proof.

HoodOps turns your walkthroughs into quotes that hold, your night crews into a live board you can see from bed, and every finished job into a signed NFPA 96 report, a repair quote and an invoice that gets paid.

NFPA 96 frequencies built in Owner app + crew app

HoodOps owner phone app home screen showing tonight's jobs and money owed

Built around what hood cleaners keep running into.

Prices nobody agrees on, night crews nobody checks, customers who won't pay. If you run a hood cleaning company, you've heard every one of these. Every screen below started as one of them.

3:12 PMThe walkthrough

Stop guessing the price. Count it.

Hand the same photo of two hoods and two fans to a room of owners and the quotes run from $675 to $2,000. HoodOps prices from what you count at the walkthrough, so the same kitchen gets the same price every time, with first-time restoration and NFPA 96 frequency worked out for you, and a scope the manager signs before your truck shows up.

      9:40 PMCrews roll out

      See every crew, every stop, from your couch.

      Most hood work happens after close, with nobody watching. Tonight's board shows who checked in, how close they are to the address, how far through the checklist they are, and who's late, while it's happening. You find out about a no-show at 9:55, not when the manager calls you at 7.

      Your standard, on every roof, even when you're asleep.

      The crew app walks your techs through the job the way you'd do it yourself. Nothing gets skipped, because the job can't close until it's done: before and after photos of all seven components, a written reason for anything they couldn't reach, and the leave-behind checklist.

      Route

      Tonight's stops, in order.

      Each tech sees their crew's route, the booked window and what's next. Nobody calls you at 4 PM asking where they're going.

      Access card

      The key, the codes, the roof. Before they unload.

      Key location, lockbox and alarm codes (hidden until tapped), manager cell, roof access, gas shutoff and the site's quirks. No 1 AM calls to you for the alarm code.

      • “Freight elevator to 5, roof door at end of hall”
      • “Wok line has 3 hood sections. Duct turns 90° above the walk-in.”
      Photo checklist

      Before and after, on every part of the system.

      Hood, filters, plenum, horizontal duct, vertical duct, fan and roof. Can't reach a run? The tech has to say why, and it shows up on the report and as a repair to quote.

      Leave-behind

      “Complete job” stays locked until it's really complete.

      Pilot lights relit, equipment plugged back in, floors mopped, filters back in, doors locked and alarm set. The morning call about a cold fryer stops happening.

      1:18 AMThe crew finds a problem

      What your crew spots turns into approved work.

      A worn belt, a missing hinge kit, no access panel on a run. The tech flags it with a photo in ten seconds. By morning it's a priced quote, sent to the manager and followed up until they say yes. If they ignore a fire risk, the record shows you told them, in writing, with a photo.

      Proof a fire marshal can scan.

      Every job closes with a branded NFPA 96 service report: GPS-verified check-in, time on site, before and after photos of every component, signatures. The label on the hood links to a verification page, so a Sharpie date that wipes off, or gets rewritten, stops being your problem.

      “Was this cleaned in July?” Hand them the label.

      Every job gets a numbered service label on the hood. Anyone who scans it (a fire marshal, an insurer, the next manager) sees the real verification page: date, crew, GPS check-in, components and photos. The number on the hood has to match the page.

      Wake up to money in, not money owed.

      A pay link goes out the moment the job closes. Every unpaid invoice is sorted by age with the next step already written: reminder, final notice, demand letter, then a small claims packet with the report and GPS check-in attached. And the certificate stays locked until they pay, so you keep your leverage.

      Find the accounts you're cleaning at a loss.

      Labor comes from real check-in and check-out times and your crew's pay, so you see what every account actually costs you. Anything where labor eats more than a third of the price gets flagged with a suggested price and a price notice already written, in your voice.
