Fire Marshal & Insurance Documentation

Many restaurants don't think about documentation until:

Every service should generate:

• Service Manifest

• Before & After Photos

• Cleaning Report

• Service Sticker

• Compliance Record

The Gulf Meridian Difference

Because a clean hood isn't the goal. Fire prevention, documentation, and peace of mind are.
