Not a generic compliance checklist — a readiness system shaped by actually running a floor and actually conducting the inspection.
Built by a California Certified Firefighter and Fire Inspector with over 10 years in restaurant operations and management. I've run the floor during a rush and conducted the inspection afterward — PrepareOps exists because I know exactly where the gap between the two usually shows up.
That gap isn't usually negligence. It's that responsibility for safety and compliance is scattered across whoever has a spare minute, records live in three different places (if they're written down at all), and nobody has a clear, current answer to a simple question until an inspector, an insurer, or an incident forces it.
Most businesses don't fail because they don't care about safety — they fail because responsibility is scattered, records are incomplete, and nobody has a clear, current answer to "are we actually ready?" until an inspector, an insurer, or an incident forces the question.
PrepareOps exists to answer that question before it's forced — with a clear score, not just a pass/fail, and a plan that actually gets followed because someone owns each fix.
An inspection, a consultant, and PrepareOps all look at the same building. They don't leave you with the same thing.
Tells you pass or fail against a specific code, at a specific moment. No context, no prioritization, no plan, and no one checking that anything actually gets fixed.
Offers broad recommendations, but rarely ties findings to a clear score, specific ownership, or any ongoing tracking once the engagement ends.
A clear readiness percentage across 5 categories, a prioritized plan with assigned ownership, photo-verified and signed evidence — and the option to keep it current over time.
The best way to understand PrepareOps is to see your own readiness score.
