No. 30 of the UK's Top 100 in 2022
The FiltaFry Plus franchise offers the opportunity to run a successful cooking oil service business from home, as it can operate from a single van initially. FiltaFry provides cooking oil, micro-filtration service and total fryer management service to restaurants and other food establishments. Originally established in the UK, FiltaFry is now available on every continent around the world and has virtually no direct competition. Franchisees service their commercial clients, typically on a weekly repeat basis, to extend the life of the cooking oil while deep cleaning the fryers at the same time. Where permitted, franchisees can also provide fresh cooking oil (FiltaGold), remove waste oil (FiltaBio) and provide kitchen hygiene products.
