New restaurant leads for hood, fire, linen, and kitchen services
Hood systems, fire suppression, grease traps, and pest control all have to pass inspection before a kitchen opens, and linen service starts on day one. These contracts recur for years.
Last 30 days across Northeast Ohio, Greater Pittsburgh, Chicagoland, Greater Orlando, Northeast Florida, Tampa Bay, and Greater Cincinnati, updated Nov 9, 2026.
Why the pre-opening window matters
- Build-out permits often name the hood system: a kitchen is being built right now.
- The pre-opening health inspection checks the very things you service.
- Recurring service contracts are signed once and renewed quietly.
A playbook for the Sunday sheet
- Filter to build-out permits and read the work description.
- Call before the pre-opening inspection, while systems are being installed.
- Bundle: a new kitchen needs hood, fire, pest, and linen at once.
