Free backflow (and grease) reminders for restaurants — we charge the pro, not the kitchen

Most backflow tools in the $50–$90/month band sell tester CRM: the tester pays so the software can email their customers. GreaseTrapRules does the opposite. Kitchens and book owners stay free forever under ten customers. Grease trap + backflow due dates + city grease rules sit in one calm place. When a test or pump-out is due, we send the reminder on behalf of the kitchen’s book — not as another SaaS inbox for the tester.

No invented traffic or fine counters. Claims below are product rules and sourced competitor pricing bands from our research notes — not signup stats.

What stays free

Kitchens / book owners ≤10 customers: free forever. Automatic due emails for grease + backflow, pause per customer, fire log of sends. No credit card for the free tier.
City grease rules: quoted from official sources on each city page — same site, same calm tone.
Email only at launch: one reminder email per item per year in the due window. No SMS promise.

How this differs from $50–$90 tester / irrigation CRMs

Tools in that band (for example IrrigationBossPro, Stampario Team, BackflowPilot, BackflowReady Starter, Clevra Business) charge the tester or irrigator for ops software and customer reminders. Useful if you want a field CRM. Different job than a kitchen that just needs to not miss a due date — and different from a Featured pro who wants to be first when that due email lands.

	Typical $50–$90 tester CRM	GreaseTrapRules
Who pays for reminders	Tester / contractor	Kitchen stays free (≤10); Featured pro pays for placement
Who the product is for	Tester field ops	Restaurant / multi-site kitchen compliance + local pros
Grease + city FOG rules	Usually none	Bundled with backflow due dates you enter
Who sends the due email	CRM under the tester’s brand	GTR on behalf of the kitchen’s compliance book
Pro price to be first	Software subscription	Featured $29/mo founding after 30-day no-card trial (then typical $49)

Featured pros: first when a test is due

Founding Featured for grease-trap pumpers and backflow testers is $29/month after a 30-day free trial (no card to start). Regular price $49/month per city. Cap: 3 Featured per city. Framing: the cost of always being first when a test or pump-out is due — not “buy another CRM.” Chicago backflow tester listings are waitlist until that directory ships; pumpers can claim a city spot now.
