Exhaust Hood Inspection App runs structured exhaust hood inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each exhaust hood, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see exhaust hood compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.
Exhaust Hood Inspection App runs a structured exhaust hood inspection 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 Inspection 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 Inspection App?
A comprehensive exhaust hood inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Inspect exhaust hoods with grease accumulation, filter, and fan checks plus defect logging. Your inspection 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 inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Exhaust Hood Inspection App
A consistent routine keeps exhaust hood inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:
Open the assigned exhaust hood template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, exhaust hood, date, and inspector.
Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the exhaust hood.
Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially clogged grease filters, grease accumulation in ductwork, low extract airflow, fire suppression faults.
For every failed exhaust hood item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
Sign off the exhaust hood form. The exhaust hood report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.
What Does an Exhaust Hood Inspection Cover?
An exhaust hood inspection covers 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. Kitchen facilities and ventilation teams capture a photo and a reading on each exhaust hood point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the exhaust hood round off. So every exhaust hood record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What Exhaust Hood Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper
Exhaust Hood work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Exhaust Hood Inspection 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
Exhaust Hood checks signed off on paper with no proof the exhaust hood was actually checked
An exhaust hood inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the exhaust hood was actually checked, and whether clogged grease filters, grease accumulation in ductwork, low extract airflow, fire suppression faults were looked at. Nobody can say for certain the exhaust hood passed.
Problem
Exhaust Hood checks recorded on paper with no evidence attached
No way to confirm clogged grease filters, grease accumulation in ductwork, low extract airflow, fire suppression faults were actually inspected
Exhaust Hood findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay
Solution
One digital exhaust hood form with required fields and validation
Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every exhaust hood check
Exhaust Hood findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying
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 Inspection App check on an exhaust hood inspection?
Exhaust Hood Inspection App runs a structured exhaust hood inspection covering grease filters and baffles, canopy, plenum, and grease drainage, extract fan and airflow, ductwork grease accumulation, and fire suppression links and nozzles. Each point is captured on mobile with a photo and a reading, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so kitchen facilities and ventilation teams work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.
Which exhaust hood defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The inspection 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 Inspection App support for exhaust hood work?
Exhaust Hood Inspection 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 Inspection 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 inspection was completed?
Every completed exhaust hood inspection 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.
