The problem
You get billed $400–$1,200 for a hood or extinguisher visit, the sticker says “done,” but your fan still clogs and grease stays in the ducts. Restaurant owners on r/restaurateur and local news report being billed for services that were never completed and even criminal cases where fake stickers were used (Bristol County DA, Boston Globe). NFPA 96 forces inspections and can shut your kitchen, so a missed or fake cleaning is not just money lost but a real closure risk; cleaning is required quarterly or semi‑annually depending on cooking type (NFPA 96 guidance). With razor thin margins and repeated recurring bills, skipping one bogus $800 line saves more than a year’s subscription for a simple verification app, and that math is what makes restaurant GMs care now.
