System map
The exhaust path a provider should discuss
A useful call follows grease from the cooking line through the parts of the system that collect buildup.
Visible hood area above the cooking line, including exterior and interior surfaces where grease can collect.
Filters capture grease before air enters the exhaust path; the plenum behind them can collect hidden buildup.
Access panels let technicians reach portions of the duct run. Missing or sealed panels can change scope.
The fan pulls exhaust through the system and often needs roof access, hinge checks, and grease cleanup.
Roof pads, containers, or other controls help keep grease from damaging the roof or draining where it should not.
Reports, photos, and service labels help managers show what was cleaned and when.
Kitchen fit
Different restaurants need different conversations
The same provider call should sound different for a fryer-heavy kitchen, a light-use cafe, and a restaurant with inspection paperwork due next week.
Fryer-heavy restaurants
Ask about grease load, filter condition, fan access, and whether the normal visit window is long enough.
Charbroil or smoke-heavy kitchens
Ask how the provider handles heavier residue and whether the frequency should be shorter than a light-use kitchen.
Shared retail spaces
Ask about roof access, landlord coordination, property-manager rules, gates, and neighboring tenants.
Inspection-driven cleanings
Ask what documentation will be available before the next inspection or insurance review.
