Compare/HoodOps vs Smart Service
Smart Service runs hood-cleaning schedules on top of QuickBooks and routes your trucks well. Here's where HoodOps' NFPA 96 engine and proof layer go further.
Smart Service is a capable QuickBooks-native field-service tool that does target hood cleaning — with NFPA-frequency scheduling, custom digital forms, strong route optimization, and real-time QuickBooks (including Desktop) sync. It's excellent at running the calendar and the books. HoodOps goes further on compliance and proof: it auto-generates the NFPA 96 certificate with its real section citation, derives the NFPA 96 cleaning frequency from cooking type, grades photos against NFPA criteria, logs grease depth against the threshold, and seals tamper-evident records through EvidLY. And it's priced by customer accounts with unlimited users, not per QuickBooks seat.
Pricing
Cost at scale
Smart Service ties cost to QuickBooks seats and quote-based pricing. HoodOps is published and flat-by-account: $99\u2013$399/mo with unlimited users — add your whole crew without the bill moving.
