Food & Restaurant Franchise Review

Food & Restaurant Franchise Opportunity - Food & Restaurant Franchise Business for Sale

FiltaFry

FiltaFry specializes in mobile, onsite maintenance of deep fryers in restaurants and commercial kitchens through a comprehensive fryer management program that includes micro-filtration of cooking oil, thermostat calibration, vacuum-based cleaning of deep fryers and operations guidance.

Most restaurants that fry food normally throw away cooking oil once it degrades but FiltaFry’s cooking oil filtration and fryer management program results in cleaner and longer-lasting oil, hygienically clean fryers, improved food quality, reduced risk of accidents and savings of time and money. Each van operated by a FiltaFry franchisee serves a base of 30 to 40 commercial customers per/ operating shift who are serviced an average of one to two times each week. The cost of an average service call, which typically takes one hour, is $65.00.

What training and support do you offer?
A comprehensive Four-part training program includes a one-week operational training course followed by a five-day intensive residential course covering administration, marketing and sales aspects along with technical frying issues.

A FiltraFry Business Development Manager (BDM) spends a minimum of two weeks with franchisees to establish a solid base of regular customers within their territory. Once the BDM completes territory support, franchisees are assigned a Regional Developer – an existing and successful franchisee – who provides additional coaching and advice until designated income targets are achieved.

What tools and resources do you provide for franchisees?
FiltaNet, FiltaFry’s online support network, was introduced in June 2004 and features discussion forums, news updates, polls and surveys, an extensive business library, online monthly reporting systems and the ability to compare performances to other franchisees within the network.
