What ComplianceKitchen does well.
- Built for California from day one — SB 294 / required-notice automation is genuinely useful
- RBS certification tracking with expiration alerts
- Allergen tracker with a searchable menu database
- Cheap and fast — $59/mo, 14-day free trial, setup in minutes
Where ComplianceKitchen stops.
- No fire safety — hood cleaning, suppression, and fire authority requirements are invisible
- Identifies which laws apply — not how your county evaluates. No county scoring methodology, grade cards, or inspection-frequency intelligence
- Notice-and-certificate focused — labor-law disclosures more than operational kitchen evidence
- Doesn’t read your insurance policies or your lease
What EvidLY also includes.
- County-specific evaluation matching for all 58 California counties and four city health departments — your dashboard reflects how your county actually evaluates
- Fire safety alongside food safety — hood, suppression, fire authority, in one place
- Insurance documentation portfolio — your records connected to your policy’s requirements
- Requirement-by-requirement gap analysis — see what's missing, not just the checklist
- Fire and food in one place, your vendors' records collected, and your policy's conditions read — none of which ComplianceKitchen does.
ComplianceKitchen posts the right notices on the wall. But your county scores the kitchen — and your carrier reads the fine print. Does it speak either language?

Common questions about EvidLY vs ComplianceKitchen.
How is EvidLY different from ComplianceKitchen for commercial kitchens?
They serve different needs. ComplianceKitchen automates California notice compliance (SB 294), RBS certification tracking, and allergen management. EvidLY is purpose-built for California commercial kitchens — mapping all 58 county and four city health department evaluation methods, covering fire safety alongside food safety, and detecting insurance documentation gaps. ComplianceKitchen posts the right notices. EvidLY delivers county-specific compliance intelligence.
Does ComplianceKitchen cover fire safety for commercial kitchens?
No. ComplianceKitchen is focused on notices, certifications, and allergen tracking. Hood cleaning schedules under NFPA 96, fire suppression inspections, and Local Fire Authority requirements are not covered. EvidLY covers both fire safety and food safety in one place.
Can ComplianceKitchen match my county’s evaluation method?
ComplianceKitchen identifies which California laws apply (SB 294 notices), but it does not have built-in knowledge of how specific California counties evaluate commercial kitchens. EvidLY maps all 58 California counties and four city health departments and matches your dashboard to your county’s actual evaluation method.
How does ComplianceKitchen pricing compare to EvidLY?
ComplianceKitchen is $59/month with a 14-day free trial. ComplianceKitchen covers notices and certifications. EvidLY is $129 a month for the first kitchen and $99 for each additional kitchen — $399 and $199 for institutions — with no per-seat fees. Pilots run on two kitchens, nothing is charged until day 16, and you have thirty days to change your mind. Onboarding, normally $500 to $2,500, is waived this phase.
