Restaurant grease trap maintenance requirements commonly involve regular service, proper disposal, accessible records, and proof that traps or interceptors are maintained according to local FOG program rules.
Local rules come first
A restaurant should follow its permit, municipal FOG program, wastewater authority, and inspector instructions. FOGProof helps organize records; it does not replace those requirements.
Records should be easy to produce
A manager may need service history, last service date, next due date, manifests, photos, invoices, or signatures. The record should be available without searching old emails.
Haulers can turn recordkeeping into a client benefit
When a hauler gives restaurants clean QR records and exportable packets, the service feels more professional and inspection requests become easier to answer.
Grease trap FAQ
Do restaurants need to keep grease trap records onsite?
Some local programs require accessible records. The exact location, format, and retention period vary, so restaurants should follow local instructions.
Can FOGProof tell a restaurant what local law requires?
No. FOGProof is recordkeeping software. It helps restaurants and haulers organize service proof, but it does not provide legal advice.
