Filta Introduces Cooking Oil Micro-Filtration and Fryer Management Service Franchise to Fargo, ND

Posted on March 29, 2013 by admin

Fargo, ND (PRWEB) September 09, 2011

The Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions Franchise announces the opening of a new franchise location in Fargo, ND. Richard Weise, a long time resident of Fargo is the proud owner operator for the new franchise. Having lived in Fargo for over 26 years, Mr. Weise has a background in the hospitality business, having managed several Fargo area restaurants. As a long time industry insider, Richard saw the opportunity to set himself apart by opening up a Filta Franchise, which is an eco-friendly mobile based cooking oil filtration service provided to establishments that have a deep fryer. We can take one of the worst jobs in the kitchen out of our clients hands, provide them better quality oil for a longer time and clean fryers, all while saving our clients some money, time, and hassle. Mr. Weiss will be offering Filta services to commercial kitchens throughout the Fargo community. Only in business for a few months, North Dakota State University and the Fargo Dome have already signed on as clients.

Using its advanced micro-filtration technology and vacuum based cleaning system, Filta’s mobile based franchise is capable of prolonging the useful life of cooking oil, eliminating the risk to employees associated with fryer upkeep, and providing a superior level of food quality. As a result, businesses potentially purchase less cooking oil, save on insurance claims and employees come to work with the peace of mind that they are being provided a safe environment.

One of the truly unique services being introduced to the Fargo market is Filtas FiltaBio service, which is essentially waste oil collection and recycling without the traditional collection bin. Once the cooking oil has come to the end of its life, Filta will collect the used oil, known as yellow grease, and immediately remove it safely directly from the fryer; in most cases with no waste oil drums or containers that typically attract rats and other unwanted issues. From there, the majority of the used cooking oil is sent to be recycled into biodiesel, the safe and environmentally friendly alternative to petrochemical based diesel.

Filta Group Wins National Agreement With Starwood Hotel Chains For Commercial Kitchen Fryer Maintenance and Cooking Oil Micro-Filtration

Posted on April 27, 2012 by admin

Orlando, Fl (PRWEB) July 30, 2009

Filta Group Wins National Agreement With Starwood Hotel Chains For Commercial Kitchen Fryer Maintenance and Cooking Oil Micro-Filtration.

Effective immediately, Starwood Hotels and its numerous brands, which include Sheraton, Westin, W, LeMeridien, and The Luxury Collection, have endorsed the FiltaFry service to hundreds of corporate owned and managed facilities engaging in food production .

The decision to use Filta’s cooking oil micro-filtration and fryer management service came after the completion of a three month trial in the Boston area which resulted in a 37% cost saving for the Starwood Hotel facilities involved. Starwood agreed to the national service contract after considering Filta’s impact on both their bottom line and their commitment to green initiatives.

The practice of cooking oil micro-filtration dramatically reduces the environmental impact of any commercial kitchen operation. Oil micro-filtration increases the amount of time fryer cooking oil can be used before disposal, while providing the added benefits of better tasting food , and reduced liability due to a reduction in possibility of grease burns.

Restaurant industry analysts are consistently beginning to recommend external management of fryer operations as a best practice for large and small food preparation services. The advantage of reduced liability and cost, coupled with the increasing trend of incorporating green initiatives, is a combination that excites management teams.

Filta President Jason Sayers remarked on the new contract as, “a great opportunity for Starwood Hotels and our franchisees alike. We are able to help a major corporation improve operational efficiency and improve on the already substantial offerings new and current franchisees receive as support to grow their businesses.”

Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions currently offers two main services, FiltaFry and FiltaCool. Both services focus on commercial kitchen efficiency improvement. Their flagship service, FiltaFry, uses proprietary technology to safely and quickly micro-filter cooking oil, while simultaneously reducing frying equipment maintenance. The effect of the FiltaFry service is the ability to use cooking oil up to 50% longer and dramatically increase fryer lifespan. In most cases the cost of the service is more than offset by the savings on cost of oil.

The company’s latest offering, FiltaCool, resolves the frequent issue of humidity control in commercial storage applications. Uncontrolled humidity in commercial refrigerators can cause premature spoilage, high bacteria counts, and higher electric costs due to ice build up. FiltaCool is a unique compact system that significantly reduces moisture within cold storage systems without over dehumidifying the storage environment. Studies published by the company have shown that “FiltaCool increases equipment life on average, by 35%, while reducing energy costs by 10%.”

Filta has placed themselves in a unique position in the franchise marketplace. They are the only established franchise that falls into the categories of three of the hottest upward trending industries by growth for franchise operations. Falling in the categories of, mobile franchise, green franchise, and cost reduction is definitely not hurting Filta franchisees. Its operations have seen double digit growth in business continually, year over year, with no signs of slowing. These impressive numbers are reminiscent of the late 90′s and earlier this decade when the cellular phone industry went gangbuster as people discovered the benefits of the new technology. The reality is that most of the potential market cap for the cooking oil filtration industry still does not even realize an oil micro-filtration service like FiltaFry exists. Filta Franchisees are taking advantage of this fact all over the country. According to Filta President Jason Sayers, one out of every two on sight demonstrations results in a new long term client.

To find out more about benefiting from Filta’s new agreement with Starwood Hotels, and other major customers, contact them for information about procuring a franchise and exclusive territory in your area.

National Franchise Filta Group Launches Oil Recycling Service Turning Cooking Oil To Clean Diesel

Posted on March 15, 2012 by admin

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) March 28, 2010

The Filta Group is pleased to announce the addition of FiltaBio to its line of services unique to the franchise world and commercial kitchen management. The green service, known as FiltaBio, offers a one-of-a-kind solution for dealing with waste cooking oil issues common with almost every restaurant and commercial kitchen in America it takes the waste oil from the fryers directly off-site, eliminating the need for waste oil storage bins at the premises.

Filta’s new solution also offers a clean, safe, environmentally responsible way for restaurant and commercial kitchen owners to make sure their cooking oil ends up in the tanks of clean, eco friendly, diesel engine vehicles and not in landfills.

The need to dispose of used cooking oil can pose major problems for small restaurants and large chains alike. The risk of dealing with used cooking oil for recycling can cause a commercial kitchen or restaurant to deal with a host of problems ranging from lack of storage space, to vermin issues from cooking oil laying around, to increased insurance liabilities from the removal process.

On top of these issues, used cooking oil can have a significant impact on the environment depending on how it is processed after removal. Virtually 100% of the oil collected by FiltaBio will end up in the diesel tanks of vehicles as clean fuel. In fact, many of the vans Filta uses are fueled on the very cooking oil they travel to filter.

“I tell all my customers that my waste cooking oil goes to make biodiesel. They love the fact that we help the environment,” said Phil Coppen, owner of The Cricketer’s Pub in Orlando, FL. “In fact, recently a company exhibiting at a waste recycling show held a dinner at our restaurant because of it.”

The goal of FiltaBio is to finally give restaurants a safe, controlled, insured, and reliable way to improve operational efficiency and reduce impact on the environment. The people at Filta know that everyone would do their part to help the environment if it made sense for their business’s bottom line as well. Environmental responsibility can be tough when businesses are already fighting to stay alive. That is why FiltaBio makes sense. The service is the perfect complement to Filta’s other offering FiltaFry.

When FiltaFry and FiltaBio are combined, waste cooking oil never needs to be stored prior to disposal. Filta Technicians are able to take used oil directly from a commercial kitchen’s fryers to completely eliminate both the risk of emptying oil from fryers by inexperienced staff, and the cumbersome burden of storing used cooking oil while awaiting pickup. The ability to remove oil storage all together also eliminates the increased risk of vermin infestation due to improper storage techniques. This is a particularly attractive benefit to restaurants in urban areas where limited space for storage may cause some businesses to break municipal codes and dispose of cooking oil improperly.

“We have the unique ability to take the oil off-site directly from the fryers, eliminating the need for the unsightly and unhealthy waste oil bins out back. Wherever we offer the FiltaBio service, customers take the service for this fact alone. Overall, we hope that FiltaBio will be the cause of a significant increase in the amount of cooking oil that gets recycled into usable diesel fuel. FiltaBio just makes sense,” says Filta Group President Jason Sayers, “It fits perfectly into our core mission to provide commercial kitchen solutions that reduce liability, cost, and environmental impact. A result we are proud to be a part of in this current economic environment.”

FiltaBio was a natural evolution for the Filta Group. The company has been dealing with cooking oil for over 15 years since it first came on the scene. The company’s most popular service, FiltaFry, offers micro filtration for cooking oil coupled with a thorough fryer management system that simultaneously reduces the liability of grease induced burns and increases the useful life of cooking oil. Many well known customers such as Chick-fil-a, Ruby Tuesdays, and hotel brands like DoubleTree and Starwood hotels, already outsource their fryer management on some sites to Filta through the FiltaFry program. The addition of the FiltaBio disposal and recycling system will allow kitchen managers across the country to outsource yet another traditional burden of running a restaurant or commercial kitchen.
