Hood Proof & Deficiency System
Before, after, finding, approval and repair, all tied to one visit.
For hood-cleaning and fire-service vendors, and restaurant groups. Keep service evidence, findings, customer approvals and repair follow-up connected to the same location and visit.
Available now: $49/mo per location. Done for you: KytherIQ sets it up and keeps it current with you, month to month. Cancel any time; a month already started is not refunded. Licensed professionals and authorities keep every regulated role.
What keeps going wrong
The crew took photos. The photos are on a phone. The deficiency was mentioned verbally. The customer never approved the repair. Six months later there is a dispute and no record.

Every deadline and record KytherIQ tracks for you points to the rule that creates it, and each action we take is logged with a time stamp. Rules change and local requirements vary: your licensed professional or the authority has the final word. Our standards.
KytherIQ provides administrative coordination, workflow management, documentation, evidence tracking and operational support. KytherIQ does not perform regulated inspections, engineering, testing, certification, legal services or governmental compliance determinations. Regulated work remains with the appropriately licensed professional or authority.
