Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning for Multi-Location Operations

When each location books a different cleaner on a different cadence, grease risk and paperwork drift. Corporate and regional operators need one partner who can sequence sites, match grease load by kitchen, and deliver consistent NFPA 96 documentation.

ProKEC serves multi-location restaurants, franchise groups, and kitchen portfolios across Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill with rolling schedules that protect dinner service at every store.

You get a clear view of what was cleaned, when, and what each site needs next—without chasing five vendors.

Grease load and cleaning frequency

Flagship high-volume kitchens often need quarterly professional cleaning; lighter cafés or limited-menu sites may land closer to every 6 months. We set frequency per location after evaluation—not a single calendar for every address.

New builds and remodel kitchens inherit unknown duct conditions; we evaluate before the first deep clean so scope stays honest.

After the first round of cleans, we adjust intervals where grease returns faster or slower than expected.

Scheduling around your operations

We build a rolling night/weekend plan so not every location goes down the same week unless you want that.

Each store gets clear lockup, alarm, and rooftop access instructions so crews arrive ready and leave kitchens set for the next shift.

Documentation you can file

Every location receives a service report and certificate of compliance suitable for inspectors, landlords, and brand audits.

Regional managers can file a consistent packet across sites—same format, site-named certificates, clear dates.

What inspectors look for

Inspectors and brand auditors often sample the greasiest kitchen first. Uneven prior cleaning across the portfolio is a common finding.

We document access gaps and grease depth per site so facilities and ops can prioritize repairs and next visits.

Common issues we see

• Locations on mismatched cleaning calendars with missing certificates
• Franchise turnover that leaves ducts unclean between operators
• Regional managers without a single vendor of record
• After-hours access that differs by landlord and alarm company
• Shared strip-center rooftops with limited staging
