Consulting Scope

What a Compliance Consulting Engagement Covers

We review your entire kitchen exhaust compliance posture — system condition, documentation, scheduling, and regulatory alignment — so you know exactly where you stand.

What We Do

  • Full system compliance review against NFPA 96 requirements
  • NFPA 96 gap assessment — hood, duct, fan, and containment
  • Documentation and record review (cleaning history, inspections, certifications)
  • Fire-inspection readiness evaluation
  • Insurance-documentation support
  • Corrective-action roadmap with priorities

We do not perform physical cleaning or repairs during a consulting engagement. We identify issues and provide a clear plan.

What You Receive

  • Written compliance assessment with findings
  • Gap list with priorities (critical, moderate, low)
  • Inspection-ready documentation package
  • Recommended service cadence based on your operation
  • Documentation ready for inspectors, landlords, and insurance
Who It’s For

When Compliance Consulting Makes Sense

Not every kitchen needs a full consulting engagement. Here are the situations where it delivers the most value.

Proactive Operators

  • Preparing for a fire marshal inspection or insurance audit
  • Opening a new location and need a compliance baseline
  • Multi-unit operators who need consistency across sites

Reactive Situations

  • Received a fire marshal citation or correction notice
  • Insurance carrier requesting documentation you don’t have
  • Lease renewal requiring proof of compliance

FAQ

Compliance Consulting Questions

What does kitchen compliance consulting cover?
Our compliance consulting covers a full review of your kitchen exhaust system against NFPA 96 requirements. This includes a gap assessment of your hood, duct, fan, and rooftop containment components, a review of your cleaning and inspection records, fire-inspection readiness evaluation, insurance documentation review, and a written corrective-action roadmap with priorities. The goal is to identify issues before an inspector or insurance auditor does.
How does compliance consulting help with insurance?
Insurance companies increasingly require proof that your kitchen exhaust system meets NFPA 96 standards. Our consulting produces an organized documentation package — cleaning records, inspection reports, certification letters, and a compliance summary — that satisfies most insurance audits. If there are gaps, we identify them and provide a corrective plan so you can address issues before they affect your coverage.
What is the difference between an inspection and compliance consulting?
An inspection evaluates the physical condition of your exhaust system at a single point in time — grease levels, component condition, and safety items. Compliance consulting is broader: it reviews your entire compliance posture including cleaning history, inspection records, documentation, scheduling cadence, and regulatory alignment. Think of an inspection as a snapshot; compliance consulting is the full picture.
Who is compliance consulting for?
Compliance consulting is designed for restaurant owners, general managers, multi-unit operators, and landlords who want to stay ahead of fire inspections and insurance reviews. It is especially useful if you have received a citation, are preparing for a lease renewal or insurance audit, manage multiple locations, or simply want to know where you stand before someone else decides.
