RESTAURANT CONSULTING SERVICES

With over 50 years combined experience in both restaurant operations and compliance with local and national codes, Ecoclean consultants help restaurants design, construct, and operate kitchen exhaust systems to ensure compliance with NFPA 96.

Design:   Let Ecoclean advocate for your interests by working with your design team to ensure not only compliance to NFPA 96 and local codes, but functionailty that allows your restaurant to maximize the potential of expensive kitchen exhaust systems for years to come.  

Construction:   The construction phase is a critical time to identify design and instalation features that affect the functionality of kitchen exhaust systems and the ability to maintain the system after the construction team has moved on.  If not caught now, problems commonly do not present themselves until the system becomes a fire hazard with expensive repair costs.  

Operations:   Ecoclean offers consultations and on site staff training of safe operations and maintenance of kitchen exhaust systems.  Whether opening a new location or desiring increased fire safety and maintenance standards, Ecoclean offers operational training of restaurant management and/or kitchen staff.   We will train your staff not only on how to operate and maintain the system, but how to monitor routine cleanings performed by kitchen exhaust and vent hood cleaning companies.
