New builds
Build the relationship before openingSee kitchens under construction or newly licensed, often before they have a public phone. Reach the applicant, general contractor, or architect where the record provides one.
Call the right kitchens before the next cleaning cycle is obvious.

The signals that matter for this trade.
Records are cross-checked across City of LA building and mechanical permits, California ABC liquor licence filings, and LA County health facility and inspection data. The sources refresh nightly; the working sheet refreshes weekly.
Recently inspected
Call while compliance is already being discussedPrioritize kitchens where a county inspector recently cited a hood-adjacent item and a re-inspection follows. This is a timing signal only—not evidence that a current vendor failed.
Ownership changes

Questions from hood cleaning contractors
Are these only restaurants?
The index covers food-service facilities across Los Angeles County, not just businesses that describe themselves as restaurants. Your sample is filtered to the territory and commercial-kitchen work you actually pursue.
Can the sheet suppress my existing customers?
Yes. Mark a row as already my customer and use the shared status column to keep the working list clean as it refreshes.
Does an inspection citation mean a hood cleaner did poor work?
No. The record cannot support that conclusion. A recent inspection is used only because compliance is already top of mind and a re-inspection follows.
