Looking over your options in franchising can be a bit of a puzzle. Many people out there now are seeking out better ways of doing business but may not be able to afford a great deal of overhead- so, franchises that are out of home are often a great resource to them. As you do your research on home based franchises you have no doubt seen the name Filtafry come up more than once. There’s a good reason. Since the early nineties, Filtafry has been one of the biggest things in at home franchises because it is not only a service that offers a plentiful client and customer base, but it’s something that’s fairly easily managed and has a relatively low overhead. So, what can you expect when looking into buying a Filtafry franchise?
The What? In Filtafry is it is a really innovative way of managing the fryers that many restaurants and food service businesses use in their day to day operations. This not only prolongs the life of the oil, saving money in that area, but also, extends the life of the fryer itself by keeping it well maintained and in excellent running condition. Being able to continue to move through each and every business day is very important in any business, but in food service, often the down time needed for fryer maintenance is a major downfall. However, using the Filtafry service, what once was a dreaded and dangerous job for usually not adequately trained employees that took hours- becomes a twice weekly, sometimes hour long visit, at best. A Filtafry technician is well educated and trained so that the entire process from start to finish is not only as safe but as efficient as possible, leaving almost nothing for the staff to really have to do in that.
But there are many other benefits to using the service itself- for one thing, the environmental impact is strong. Better running equipment always equals out to less power to run them, as well as less waste for the owner of the establishment itself. Not having to dispose of the oil in those huge oil drums, is also less of an impact on the environment as cardboard and other material usage is down. However, that’s not really where Filta stops its environmentally friendly action. Many franchisees are actively involved in a number of local environmental groups, causes and fundraisers, all around the United States. The company itself began with an environmental image and continues to strive for a greener way of doing things. As you can see, the service itself actually reduces the wastes of fast food, sit down restaurants and basically any place that serves fried foods, but also, with the FiltaCool system, more loss and waste is avoided. Just one more way, FiltaFry and their franchisees are making a difference in food service, waste oil management and making the world a little bit greener for their efforts.
