About this Business
National Brand, Weekly Repeat Service, Recurring Revenue
recurring revenue, this is it! Our environmental franchises have been handling the tough but essential job of fryer management and cooking oil filtration and removal (and other important related tasks) for restaurants and food establishments for nearly 30 years. Our proprietary filtration system gets more life out of commercial cooking oil, saving both local and national customers time and money, and our ability to recycle oil once it’s outlived its usefulness means protecting the environment from spills and haphazard disposal, preserving the environment. Safety is paramount and our priority, and that resolve creates work environments that are safe from the risk of burns and other accidents. Today, Filta meets the needs of more than 10,000 customers every week, and when you partner with us to open your environmental kitchen solutions franchise, you’ll enjoy the freedom of being your own boss, benefit from unmatched franchisor support, and tap into multiple revenue streams. Our customers are restaurants, hospitals, grocery stores, professional sports stadiums, civic centers, schools and universities, and many more. Our brand provides highly skilled and trained service technicians, and our customers obtain an all-inclusive fryer management service that reaches far beyond the scope of simple waste oil management.The Southeastern Wisconsin franchise started in 2023 and covers Racine County, Kenosha County, Rock County, Jefferson County, and parts of both Milwaukee County and Walworth County. This business services 2 units of customers, providing a strong foundation for tremendous growth in this highly viable area.

About Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions
Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions is a mobile commercial-kitchen services franchise built around cooking oil filtration, fryer management and waste oil recycling. Operating since 1996, the brand sends technicians on site to restaurants, amusement parks, colleges, sports venues, hospitals, grocery stores, hotels and casinos, filtering and extending the life of fryer oil and collecting used oil to be recycled into biodiesel.
The business runs on routed, repeat service contracts rather than one-off jobs, giving franchisees a recurring B2B revenue base. It is a home-based, van-led model with no retail premises: owners operate branded mobile filtration units and manage a small service team across a defined territory. Filta has been part of UK-listed Franchise Brands plc since 2022, which owns a portfolio of other van-based service franchises.
Beyond its core FiltaFry oil-filtration and FiltaBio waste-oil collection services, the brand has widened into broader kitchen maintenance, including fresh oil delivery (FiltaGold), kitchen and cold-storage cleaning (FiltaClean, FiltaCool) and drain services (FiltaDrain), serving a national network that includes major chains, stadiums and institutional caterers.
Franchisee Support
Filta supports franchisees through structured initial training plus ongoing development via Filta University for owners and their teams. Day-to-day support includes a dedicated inside sales team that helps secure and grow repeat accounts, business coaching from a development manager, technical and sales support hotlines, and recruiting assistance. Owners run operations on a customized CRM and mobile app (FiltaNet) that records service, invoices and integrates with operations and fleet tracking. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and FiltaNet access the franchisor provides when ownership of an existing territory changes.
Brand Accolades & Awards
Filta is consistently recognised in franchise rankings. It placed No. 143 on Entrepreneur's 2026 Franchise 500 and ranked No. 1 in the Commercial Kitchen Maintenance category, and has also featured on the Franchise Times Top 400. It earned Franchise Business Review Franchise Satisfaction Awards in 2025 and 2026, and its sustainability work has drawn the Green Franchise Award (2022), the Green Leaf Award and, in Europe, the German Excellence Award, alongside an America's Best Franchises Top 50 listing. Resale buyers should weigh this brand-level recognition alongside the local reputation and reviews of the specific territory.
Industry / Market
Filta operates in the US cooking oil recycling and commercial-kitchen services category, an essential, non-discretionary segment tied to foodservice operations. IBISWorld puts the US cooking oil recycling market at $2.8 billion in 2026, supported by steady demand from restaurants and institutional kitchens and growing interest in turning waste oil into biodiesel. Sustainability pressure, food-safety standards and the labour savings of outsourcing fryer maintenance all support demand. For resale buyers, the category's recurring, route-based nature means revenue tends to be stable, making a unit's contract base a key area to review.
Ideal Owner
The model suits hands-on local operators comfortable building and managing a mobile service team and running daily routes. Because revenue depends on winning and keeping repeat B2B contracts, owners should be sales-oriented and strong with customer relationships, with the organisation to manage scheduling, service quality and a fleet across a territory. Food-service or restaurant experience is helpful but not required. An interest in sustainability fits the brand's environmental positioning, and owners willing to be visible in their local market tend to suit the route-based growth model.
