Meet Hood I.Q. at NACS Show 2026 — Booth N2476

The Hood I.Q. team is heading to the NACS Show, the biggest global event for the convenience store industry. This year the show runs October 6–9, 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, with the Expo floor open October 7–9. You'll find the Kept Companies and Hood I.Q. team at Booth N2476.

About the show

NACS brings together more than 1,200 exhibitors across 435,000+ square feet, including a full category for Food Equipment & Foodservice Programs and another for Facility Development & Store Operations. This year's theme is "ROI: Return on Insight" — a focus on helping operators balance labor, foodservice, technology and regulatory pressure at the same time.

Why Hood I.Q. at NACS

That's exactly where Hood I.Q. fits. Foodservice has become a major driver for convenience retailers, and every hot-food program comes with a kitchen exhaust hood that has to stay clean and compliant. Hood I.Q. automates that work: the system cleans on a schedule, every inspection is logged automatically, and store-level before-and-after photos and records are one QR scan away.

For multi-location operators, that means fewer missed visits, less grease buildup, lower fire risk and a documented record that can help reduce insurance premiums — without adding work for store teams.

The technicians behind Hood I.Q. are Kept Companies employees trained at our Research & Training Center in Jacksonville, FL, and all of our work is self-performed by our team.
