What to look for
The format can vary. The useful test is whether a manager can connect the date, restaurant, exhaust system, completed scope, evidence, and follow-up without guessing.
Questions to ask before accepting the record
- Can the manager tell where each photo was taken?
- Are before and after views comparable?
- Do images go beyond the visible hood exterior?
- Are fan, containment, and accessible duct areas included where applicable?
- Are inaccessible areas documented in writing?
