The Filta Group

Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions is the best kept secret in management franchising. Franchise Owners operate in large protected territories offering 5 different eco-friendly services on a weekly basis to a diverse customer base... any commercial kitchen with a fryer. Filta invented the service back in the mid-90s and remains the only major player in the game today. Without competition, franchise owners have the peace of mind that they can spend their time scaling the business rather than having to constantly replace lost customers. The added service allow an owner to maximize profitability because the Filta expense structure is fixed. Simply put, the more a Filta franchise owner earns, the more they keep! Filta's goal is to get each owner to an executive level franchise (having a team of route technicians and an operations manager) as quickly as possible so that they can focus on growing the business rather than be inundated in the day-to-day route operations. This is a great opportunity for somebody looking for a niche business that can scale quickly. Franchisees of Filta enjoy the business model because: No Competition Repeat Revenue (clients visited 1-2x per week on average) Multiple Revenue Streams which means higher margins Green! We reduce our customers carbon footprints. Large Protected Territories and Large Potential Customer Base Filta franchisees are people who enjoy relationship development. With our services being repeat in nature, we have an opportunity to visit customers very frequently. Franchisees are constantly receiving referrals as good news travels fast in the food service industry. It is common for the franchise to be run in a "family" type atmosphere and many owners employ family members in different positions in their companies. Franchise owners also enjoy providing jobs and ensuring their employees feel valued as well as making a positive impact on the environment and their local communities. While the Filta franchise is a high commitment business, the rewards that are reaped are commensurate and much satisfaction comes in hearing the positive feedback from happy customers. Day in the Life of the Franchisee: A typical day in a life of a franchisee: In the early days of the business, most Filta franchise owners act as the managers of the business. They ensure the routes are out each day on time, they follow up with their technicians regularly and also the customers to ensure they are happy with the services. Owners act as the developers of their business early on as well. Once an owner gets to 3 vans, they typically bring on an operations manager which helps to fray some of the day to day activities which frees the owner up to focus more on growth strategy and higher level items. Filta tries to get each owner to the executive level as quickly as reasonably possible.
