What is SOP readiness?

It tells KitchenLedger whether you still need to create your Standard Operating Procedures, already drafted them, or uploaded them. For MEHKO owners, this is the document that explains how the home kitchen will safely operate.

What should I prepare?

Contra Costa points operators to an application packet, SOP form, self-inspection checklist, inspection prep, and annual renewal. KitchenLedger uses this step to create reminders and missing-evidence warnings.

Self-inspection checklist

Where do limits come from?

Meal, sales, direct-sale, and service model guidance comes from Contra Costa and California MEHKO materials. The app shows warnings, but the county has the final word.

What about QuickBooks?

QuickBooks sync is for bookkeeping only. KitchenLedger can help review expenses and orders before pushing them to QuickBooks, but those records are separate from county inspection evidence.
