Where Xenia stops.
- No fire safety awareness — hood cleaning, suppression, and fire authority requirements are not covered
- No county-specific evaluation data — is not built around county-specific evaluation
- Custom pricing requires a sales conversation — no transparent starting point
- Not built for California-specific compliance — no CalCode or California Fire Code knowledge
- Doesn't read your insurance policies or your lease
What EvidLY also includes.
- County-specific intelligence for all 58 California counties and four city health departments
- Fire safety alongside food safety — hood cleaning, suppression, fire authority
- Insurance documentation portfolio — compliance connected to your carrier's requirements
- Requirement-by-requirement gap analysis — see what's missing, not just audit scores
- Fire and food in one place, your vendors' records collected, and your policy's conditions read — none of which Xenia does.
Your LA kitchen is evaluated differently than your San Diego kitchen. Does Xenia know the difference?

Common questions about EvidLY vs Xenia.
How is EvidLY different from Xenia for commercial kitchens?
For kitchen leaders, they serve different needs. Xenia is general operations with food safety features. 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, identifying policy and lease conditions. Different options for different needs.
Does Xenia cover fire safety for commercial kitchens?
No. Xenia focuses on operations execution and food safety audits. It does not cover hood cleaning schedules (NFPA 96), fire suppression inspections, or Local Fire Authority requirements. EvidLY covers both fire safety and food safety.
Can Xenia match my county's evaluation method?
No. Xenia uses standardized audit templates. It doesn’t know that LA and San Diego use letter grades, that Orange County uses pass/fail, or that Merced uses a three-tier rating. EvidLY maps all 58 California counties and four city health departments.
How much does Xenia cost compared to EvidLY?
Xenia uses custom per-location pricing across Basic, Pro, and Enterprise tiers — you need to contact their sales team for a quote. 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.
