Exhaust Hood Audit App turns exhaust hood audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each exhaust hood against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare exhaust hood audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.
Exhaust Hood Audit App runs a scored exhaust hood audit covering grease filters and baffles, canopy, plenum, and grease drainage, extract fan and airflow, ductwork grease accumulation, and fire suppression links and nozzles, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, exhaust hood findings live on paper and in chat. An exhaust hood fault such as clogged grease filters slips through. An audit then means rebuilding exhaust hood evidence from folders.
Exhaust Hood Audit App keeps one record per exhaust hood and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each exhaust hood finding is tracked to verified closure. Kitchen facilities and ventilation teams see exhaust hood completion and overdue actions across the food & beverage portfolio. Every exhaust hood record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in an Exhaust Hood Audit App?
A comprehensive exhaust hood audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit exhaust hood programmes with weighted scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking. Your audit should include sections for grease filters and baffles; canopy, plenum, and grease drainage; and extract fan and airflow, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.
How to Use Exhaust Hood Audit App
A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run an exhaust hood audit:
Open the exhaust hood audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
Score each exhaust hood against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
Let the app calculate the section and overall exhaust hood score so the site is comparable to others.
Raise a corrective action for each failed exhaust hood criterion with an owner and due date.
Sign off the exhaust hood audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.
What Does an Exhaust Hood Audit Cover?
An exhaust hood audit scores condition against ventilation and grease-duct standards and fire safety NOC, checking grease filters and baffles, canopy, plenum, and grease drainage, extract fan and airflow, ductwork grease accumulation, fire suppression links and nozzles, and lighting and cleanliness. Each exhaust hood finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the exhaust hood audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

What Exhaust Hood Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere
Exhaust Hood work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Exhaust Hood Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Exhaust Hood data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat
Some exhaust hood records sit in Excel, some in a WhatsApp group, some in a folder of photos. There is no single source of truth for the exhaust hood, so every exhaust hood question takes an hour and three people to answer.
Problem
Exhaust Hood records split across Excel, chat, and photo folders
No single trusted version of the exhaust hood record
Answering a simple exhaust hood question takes hours
Solution
One system of record for every exhaust hood check and finding
Every exhaust hood photo and action tied to its record
Search any site or exhaust hood and get an answer instantly
Every auditor scores the exhaust hood audit differently, so sites cannot be compared
One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The exhaust hood audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.
Problem
Exhaust Hood scoring depends on which auditor showed up
Exhaust hood sections get skipped with no record
Exhaust Hood scores are not comparable across sites
Solution
Weighted exhaust hood criteria baked into the audit template
Mandatory exhaust hood sections, so nothing is skipped
Comparable exhaust hood scores that roll up across the estate
Assigned contractor signs off the exhaust hood fix, and nobody checks it
A defect on the exhaust hood is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the exhaust hood defect is marked closed. Whether the exhaust hood work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.
Problem
Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
Poor exhaust hood fixes are only found at the next inspection
No record of which exhaust hood partners actually perform
Solution
Closure photo required before any exhaust hood action is signed off
Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
Re-opened exhaust hood actions linked back to the original finding
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Exhaust Hood Audit App check on an exhaust hood audit?
Exhaust Hood Audit App runs a scored exhaust hood audit against ventilation and grease-duct standards and fire safety NOC, checking grease filters and baffles, canopy, plenum, and grease drainage, extract fan and airflow, ductwork grease accumulation, and fire suppression links and nozzles. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for kitchen facilities and ventilation teams rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.
Which exhaust hood defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The audit targets the exhaust hood failures that matter most: clogged grease filters, grease accumulation in ductwork, low extract airflow, and fire suppression faults. Left unchecked, a fault such as clogged grease filters can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so kitchen facilities and ventilation teams fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Exhaust Hood Audit App support for exhaust hood work?
Exhaust Hood Audit App keeps exhaust hood checks aligned to ventilation and grease-duct standards and fire safety NOC. The photos and readings each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, kitchen facilities and ventilation teams pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run exhaust hood checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Exhaust Hood Audit App is offline-first: teams complete exhaust hood checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So kitchen facilities and ventilation teams get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves an exhaust hood audit was completed?
Every completed exhaust hood audit carries grease filter photo, ductwork cleanliness photo, and airflow reading note, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, kitchen facilities and ventilation teams can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
