⚠ The hidden cost of waiting
Neglected grease becomes an operational problem.
Fats, oils, grease, food solids, and sediment build up in layers. Once capacity is reduced, odors intensify, drains slow down, and the risk of a messy backup rises. A routine service schedule is usually far less disruptive than an emergency shutdown.
- !Kitchen odors that reach staff or customers
- !Slow sinks, gurgling drains, and recurring clogs
- !Overflow risk and avoidable cleanup costs
- !Missing records during inspections or audits
