Regulators want proof. Paper inspection forms get lost, can't be searched, and don't have timestamps. One audit can shut you down.

Commercial kitchen techs work in active kitchens where a broken fryer at 4 PM is a $2,000-per-hour revenue problem for the operator. Paper service tickets get greasy, soaked, and lost — and when a health inspector asks for the last hood cleaning and equipment service record, a missing paper form can close the restaurant.
Objective third-party statistics and research benchmarks relative to inspection & compliance and commercial kitchen equipment service workflows.
A health department inspector arrives at a restaurant and asks for the last hood cleaning certificate, the most recent fryer service record, and proof the walk-in cooler refrigerant was legally handled. The restaurant manager has to call the service company, who has to dig through paper files.
A missing service certificate during a health inspection can result in a failing grade or temporary closure — the service company loses the account and the restaurant loses the day's revenue.

A failed compliance audit costs $10K–$100K+ in fines, remediation, and lost contracts.
These tools are great at what they do — but they don't eliminate the inspection & compliance gap. That's what we build.
We study exactly where inspection & compliance happens in your commercial kitchen equipment service operation — the forms, the handoffs, the re-entry points.
Not a demo. Not a slide deck. A real, functional prototype that eliminates the pain point and works with your existing tools.
You test the prototype on a real job. If it doesn't eliminate the inspection & compliance problem, you don't pay.
