Operator guide

Plan cleaning frequency from real kitchen conditions

Recurring exhaust-cleaning schedules should be driven by how the kitchen cooks, what the crew observes, and what the local authority requires—not by a marketing claim that software “certifies” compliance.

What should drive the cadence

Cooking volume

High-volume fryers, charbroilers, and wok lines produce more grease aerosol and usually need shorter intervals than light prep kitchens.

Fuel and equipment

Solid-fuel appliances and heavy smoke-producing equipment change buildup patterns. Record the equipment that drives the recommendation.

Observed condition

Before-and-after photos and technician notes are evidence of actual buildup—not a substitute for the local authority’s judgment.

Access and operations

Night-only access, rooftop fans, and multi-story duct runs affect when work can be completed and how recurring work is planned.

How Daniel helps operators keep the schedule

  • Captures cooking equipment, urgency, and access windows on the first call
  • Books night crews around kitchen closure instead of leaving voicemail
  • Attaches photos and notes to the same job used for the next-service reminder
  • Returns recurring follow-up to the dispatch queue when the contractor sets a date
