FOG vs. grease trap cleaning Separate interceptor maintenance, waste hauling, and on-site proof so operators do not confuse one obligation for another. How often to clean a commercial hood Use the local fire authority's published inspection and paperwork rules first, then fit service cadence around the real cooking load. What records restaurant inspections check Treat inspection prep as a records problem first: proof must be ready before the inspector asks for it.
