Determining the right servicing frequency for rooftop grease depends on multiple factors, including menu type, sales volume, and operational practices.
Key Factors Influencing Service Frequency
Menu Type: Restaurants with beef-heavy menus produce more grease, requiring more frequent servicing.
Volume of Sales: Higher sales equate to more cooking and, consequently, more grease that needs management.
National brands like McDonald’s and Sonic follow strict servicing schedules to keep grease under control. If your restaurant has a similar menu and sales volume, a comparable service schedule is highly recommended.
Why Routine Grease Servicing Is Critical
Protects Your Roof: Grease accumulation can severely damage your roof within a few years and may void warranties.
Prevents Costly Repairs: Regular servicing helps avoid expensive roof membrane repairs.
Ensures Safety and Compliance: Routine removal minimizes fire hazards, liability risks, and municipal violations.
Implementing a Grease Service Program
A grease containment program should evolve with your operations. Services like GreaseCare provide fixed-price programs that ensure timely grease removal, helping you avoid unexpected expenses and maintain compliance with safety regulations.
