Commercial kitchens are one of the highest-risk environments your crew inspects. Fire Inspect Hub gives you a structured NFPA 96 workflow, professional reports, and a compliance record that holds up when the AHJ shows up unannounced.
A grease fire in a commercial kitchen is fast, hot, and devastating. The suppression system is the last line of defense — and your inspection is what proves it works. Fire Inspect Hub guides your inspectors through every NFPA 96 checklist item so nothing gets skipped, forgotten, or written on a napkin.
Restaurant kitchens vary wildly. One site has a single fryer, the next has a full commercial line. Your inspection process needs to handle both without skipping required items.
NFPA 96 requires semiannual inspections plus monthly visual checks. Tracking which clients are due, which are overdue, and which were just completed is a full-time job without the right system.
The items most likely to cause a suppression failure are the smallest ones. A structured checklist means your inspectors verify every nozzle cap, every fusible link, every agent level — every time.
A restaurant owner gets a PDF full of technical language and has no idea if they're compliant or at risk. A clear compliance status and a customer portal changes that conversation entirely.
Your inspection report is your protection. If it doesn't document what was checked, by whom, and on what date — it's not a defense, it's a liability.
