Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions provides services to commercial kitchens, with a focus on cooking oil and fryer management. The franchise has built a long-standing business cleaning deep fryers and recycling cooking oil into a broader range of services for commercial customers. Its on-site fryer management service includes cleaning and calibrating fryers, as well as changing cooking oil and taking the waste away to be recycled, while its oil filtration service extends the life of cooking oil and improves the quality of food.
While oil and fryers are the basis of the brand’s flagship services, it uses that entry to offer wider services for commercial kitchens. This includes kitchen cleaning as well as maintaining cold storage systems and drains. Customers who come to trust a Filta franchise can start using it for more of their kitchen maintenance, increasing revenues. The company offers an active fryer management service for regular customers which helps to lock in repeat business, as the franchise monitors the state of a kitchen’s fryers then provides cleaning, maintenance, and oil changes as needed.
It’s an unusual franchise, and one whose distinctive service can make it invaluable for the right customer. The brand identifies not only available territories but specific hot markets that potential franchisees might be interested in, helping you to zone in on the most profitable options for either a single franchise or a multi-unit investment.
