Since 1996, Filta has been providing cooking oil micro filtration service around the world to restaurants and other food establishments. Filta’s “Green” services naturally preserve the environment by extending the life of cooking oil with the FiltaFry service, turning waste cooking oil into biodiesel with FiltaBio and reducing energy consumption and food waste with FiltaCool. Filta services over 5,000 customers every week and has recycled over 1/2 billion pounds of oil… and counting.

It is The Filta Group’s commitment to increase the profitability of each franchise owner, year after year. We are dedicated to providing our Franchisees with new and improved Environmental Kitchen Solutions, so they can maximize the earnings potential at each client.

For the past 10 years, the FiltaFry service has always established our customer base and spearheaded our growth. In the last few years, FiltaCool and FiltaBio have been added to the services offered by Franchise Owners. Our R&D department is continually market testing new products and services for future roll-out. For example, FiltaGold our patent pending new oil delivery system is launching this year.

These additional services have created a multiple revenue stream model and we have seen a distinct move from our initial man and a van operation to business owners who want to develop a multi-van, multi-unit operation.

Filta is the pioneer and worldwide leader in cooking oil filtration and fryer management services. This is a mobile, home-based franchise in which our Franchise owners provide 5 eco-friendly, weekly repeat services to restaurants, hospitals, colleges, sports venues, grocery stores, hotels, resorts...... anyone with a fryer.

Franchise owners deal with little to no competition and have the benefit of national brand recognition through a system of national accounts and an existing customer base of over 5,000 customers nationwide. Comprehensive training is provided as is ongoing support through inside sales services, a customized CRM system, as well as recruiting services at no additional cost.

Who’s The Ideal Filta Franchise Owner?

Our Franchisees come from all walks of life and many are already successful business people. In addition, we have some restaurant folks, former pilots, telecom operators, insurance representatives, administrators, construction workers, sales reps, grocery managers, and more.

We believe if the training is good and the system is good, that a good Franchise system should generally be able to take any driven individual and turn him or her into a success story. In fact, it’s more than a belief – it’s what we do every day.

Why Filta Commits To An “Ideal Operator” Profile

While job titles, industry background and experience have little bearing on success as a Filta Franchise owner, there are common denominators that we look for.

• The ideal operator has determination and persistence. You have to be of the mindset that free demonstrations lead to your success. When there are days that booking appointments are a challenge, you can’t simply drive home; a van in the driveway does no good.
• You’ve got to be a service oriented person. Why own a business in the service industry if you’re not a people-person?
• Honesty is another important quality, as we intend to be partnered for the long term. We run our business on integrity and honesty and we expect the same of our Franchisees.
• Though none of the Filta Franchise systems are complex, the ideal operator must be a quick learner. You’ll need to pick up instruction and execute so you can move on to building your business.
• Customers are the biggest advocates we have and are integral for building referral business. This means being customer-focused is key. If there is a problem or issue, it’s important to be solution oriented with the upmost commitment to resolution.
• Confidence and good self esteem are necessary traits for success in any service business, ours included.
