You're the owner, the tech, the dispatcher, the bookkeeper, and the salesperson. Every hour you spend on admin is an hour you're not on a roof making money. HoodOps automates the paperwork so you can focus on the work that actually pays — cleaning kitchen exhaust systems and building your client base.
Claim Your Spot — $199/mo →Running a one-truck operation means wearing every hat in the company. These problems aren't hypothetical — they're your Tuesday night.
You finished a 4-hood job at 3 AM. Now you need to build the compliance certificate, attach before-and-after photos, email everything to the client, update your schedule for tomorrow, and send the invoice. It's 4:30 AM before you're actually done. That hour and a half of administrative work after the real work? You're not getting paid for it. Multiply that across every job, every week, and you're donating hundreds of hours a year to paperwork that software should be handling for you.
A restaurant manager you cleaned six months ago calls in a panic — they need their compliance certificate for an insurance audit happening tomorrow morning. You dig through your phone photos trying to match timestamps to locations, scroll through an old email thread, and rummage through a paper folder in your truck. Two hours gone. You billed nothing for that time. And if you can't find the documentation, you look unprofessional to a client who was ready to rebook with you.
You know you should be charging more, but you don't know exactly what each job costs you once you factor in drive time, chemical usage, equipment wear, and the hours you spend on follow-up. Some jobs feel profitable. Others feel like you barely broke even — or lost money outright. Without per-job cost tracking, you're setting prices based on what competitors charge or what feels right, not on your actual numbers. That guesswork leaves real revenue on the table every single month.
Your best clients don't leave because they're unhappy. They leave because they simply forget. You clean their hoods every six months, but six months is a long time. Without a system that automatically reminds them — and reminds you — when it's time for the next service, those clients drift to whoever shows up in their Google search results. You lose recurring revenue you already earned once, and you spend marketing dollars replacing clients you should have kept.
Six features built specifically for operators who don't have office staff, back-office teams, or time to waste on administrative busywork.
Finish the job, tap submit. The certificate generates with all the right data — client information, location details, before-and-after photos, tech signature, and full NFPA 96 compliance documentation. It gets auto-emailed to the client and stored in their digital record. That 45-minute certificate process you currently handle manually after every job? It happens in seconds. Your client receives professional, fire-marshal-ready documentation without you opening a laptop, and you have a permanent compliance trail for every kitchen you service.
The HoodOps field app works with zero cell signal. Basement kitchens beneath concrete, rural restaurants twenty miles from the nearest tower, national park lodges deep in the mountains — your work environment doesn't always come with reliable connectivity. Capture photos, complete checklists, log grease depth measurements, and collect digital signatures regardless of signal strength. Everything syncs automatically when you're back in range. No lost work. No scribbling notes on paper to enter later. No "I'll do it when I get home" that turns into forgotten data.
See exactly what every job costs you and what it earns. HoodOps tracks labor hours, drive time, chemical and supply costs, and equipment wear factors to calculate your true margin on each service. Know which clients are profitable and which ones need a price increase — backed by actual data, not a feeling. When it's time to raise rates on a specific account, you can show the numbers. Per-client profitability reports also reveal which restaurant types, locations, or job sizes generate the best return so you can target similar prospects.
HoodOps calculates when each client needs their next cleaning based on NFPA 96 Table 12.4 frequency guidelines — monthly for solid fuel cooking, quarterly for high-volume operations, semi-annually for moderate use, and annually for low-volume systems. The client gets a reminder at the right interval. You get a booking notification. No chasing overdue accounts, no forgetting who's due next month, no spreadsheet of client schedules you update manually. Recurring revenue returns automatically because the system manages the entire rebooking cycle for you.
After every completed job, HoodOps can automatically send a Google review request to the client. You control the timing and the message. More five-star reviews mean more inbound leads from restaurant managers searching for hood cleaning services in your area. You don't have to remember to ask after a long shift, and you don't have to feel awkward bringing it up in person. The system handles the request professionally, and your online reputation grows with every job you complete. Consistent reviews compound over time into a significant competitive advantage.
Generate and send invoices directly from the field the moment a job is complete. Accept payment on-site through integrated processing or send a digital invoice the client can pay online. No separate invoicing application, no double-entering job details into accounting software, no spreadsheet tracking outstanding balances. One system handles the entire workflow from completed checklist to collected payment. You see outstanding receivables, payment history per client, and aging reports in a single dashboard — eliminating the scattered paper trail that costs solo operators hours every week.
Flat rate for 1-4 technicians
That's less than what most operators pay for Jobber ($199/mo Grow plan) plus CompanyCam ($49/mo) — and HoodOps includes NFPA 96 certificates, AI photo analysis, and Table 12.4 scheduling that neither of those tools offers. You get a single platform purpose-built for kitchen exhaust cleaning instead of stitching together generic field service software with a separate photo documentation app and manual compliance workflows.
Most successful kitchen exhaust cleaning companies started exactly where you are right now. One truck, one crew, grinding out jobs night after night. The operators who grow into multi-truck operations are the ones who build repeatable systems early — before the chaos of scaling forces them to. HoodOps gives you enterprise-grade documentation, client management, and compliance tracking from day one. Every certificate, every photo, every client interaction is stored and structured. When you're ready to hire your first employee or add a second truck, the system is already there. You don't have to migrate data, retrain your workflow, or start over with a new platform.
When you grow past 4 technicians, the Growth plan ($299/mo) adds EvidLY integration so your cleaning data powers your clients' compliance dashboards, plus revenue forecasting to project income six months ahead, churn detection to flag at-risk accounts before they leave, and priority support for faster response times. No migration required. No data loss. No downtime. You upgrade your plan and the additional features activate immediately on the same account you've been using since day one.
Let HoodOps handle the certificates, the invoices, the reminders, and the follow-up. You focus on the work that built your business in the first place.
