Commercial hood cleaners need software, not spreadsheets

Run commercial hood cleaning jobs, certifications, and stickers without the spreadsheet chaos.

This market looks like a cleaning niche, but the real signal is compliance: people are searching for certification, stickers, and cost — not just “cleaning.”

THE GAP

Generic FSM tools like Jobber or ServiceTitan don’t model hood-cleaning-specific artifacts: compliance certificates, sticker issuance, inspection records, and renewal tracking. That means operators still juggle spreadsheets, paper forms, and manual reminders.

THE BUILD

Build a vertical ops layer for hood-cleaning companies: route scheduling, before/after photos, certification tracking, sticker generation, invoices, and a restaurant portal for service history. Start with small-to-mid hood cleaning operators and fire-safety contractors servicing multi-location restaurants.

WEEKEND MVP

Launch a job tracker that generates a certificate PDF, sticker number, and next-service reminder after each completed visit.
