What a hood cleaning work order is for
Hood crews work at night in a kitchen they do not own, on a roof they may not have seen. A work order with the key code, shutoffs, the duct layout, roof access, how to contain the runoff and where to take photos lets the crew get in, clean safely and leave the kitchen ready for the morning shift.

- Kitchen access and alarm code handling.
- Gas and appliance shutoffs.
- Hood, duct and fan layout.
