Hood cleaning certificate vs service report
A certificate and a service report are not the same thing. A service report explains the work, photos, open items, and next action in a form the customer can actually use.
Certificate confirms
A certificate may show service status, company/date, or a basic completion marker.
Report explains
A service report may show what was done, where it was done, photos, blocked access, and what should happen next.
Customers often need both
The certificate can sit on site while the report gives the manager a saved record for photos, exceptions, and follow-up.

Practical questions

It should include Photos, Blocked access documentation, Plain-English service summary, Next service window, and a clear saved record for the customer.
Should photos and open items stay in the same report?
Yes. Photos, completed work, blocked access, and next actions should stay in one customer-readable report so the restaurant does not have to piece together separate messages.
