Overview
The Equipment feature lets you track kitchen equipment installed at food service establishments and record whether each piece of equipment is connected to a grease control device (GCD). This helps your FOG program understand which equipment generates grease and how it is managed.
This feature requires the equipment feature to be enabled for your organization.
