NFPA 96 Certified

Del Mar restaurants are held to California state fire code and must maintain NFPA 96 cleaning records. Our certified service and documentation — timestamped photos, written scope, signed certificate — holds up to review by fire marshals, Camino del Mar property managers, and commercial insurance carriers alike.

Thorough Documentation

Del Mar operators expect professional service records, not handwritten notes. We deliver organized documentation — timestamped before-and-after photos, a detailed written report, and a signed NFPA 96 certificate — ready to present at any audit, inspection, or lease review.

Seasonal Flexibility

Del Mar’s racetrack season and summer bring significant volume spikes that increase grease output. We help you schedule a cleaning before the season opens so you enter your busiest period fully compliant — and again after if volume was high enough to warrant it.

Complete System Service

Filters, plenum, ductwork, and rooftop fans — completely serviced on every visit. Del Mar’s coastal location means salt-air corrosion on fan housings and rooftop ductwork connections is a real concern; our inspection of those components during every cleaning gives you early warning before minor corrosion becomes an equipment replacement.

Do Del Mar restaurants need more frequent cleaning during racetrack season?

If your restaurant sees significantly higher covers during the Del Mar racing season, your cooking volume increases proportionally — and so does grease output. We recommend scheduling a cleaning before the season begins and again after it ends if you’re running higher volumes than usual during those months. This keeps your system clean during your most inspection-sensitive period.

What’s the cleaning requirement for restaurants at Del Mar Plaza?

Commercial landlords and property managers at Del Mar Plaza typically require tenants to maintain NFPA 96 compliance and provide cleaning certificates on a regular basis. We can send documentation directly to your property manager or provide you with copies to submit. Our records meet all standard landlord documentation requirements.

How discreet is the service process at an upscale Del Mar restaurant?

Our crews work overnight or in the early morning before your kitchen staff arrives. We use professional equipment, protect your surfaces, and leave the kitchen cleaner than we found it. There is no visible impact on your dining room, bar, or front-of-house areas during or after service.
