How it works

Three steps between you and a clean inspection report.

1

Check off every item

Work through the same categories a health inspector checks — permits, water systems, temperatures, and fire safety.

2

Fix gaps before service

Anything unchecked is something to fix now, not something to explain to an inspector later.

3

Print for the binder

Save your progress in the browser or print a clean copy to keep in the truck.
