Another kitchen exhaust cleaning organization

That looks pretty cheezy!

So who's in Champaign, Ill?
 
Who would send $100-PLEASE? as Tony would say "What ya gona do".
 
I do a lot of work in Champaign. The web site shows a street address. I will check it out next time I'm in Champaign.

Go Dave!
 
Try to get a picture of the HQ. building. Just to know were the $100 is going-alots on the line here. We just can't have a printing press going printing ups tests and so on.

Where is Rusty by the way? He could be starting a new Mid West School-expanding his fan base. Now that would work-AKHCACHDCSW-boy does that have a ring to it.
 
Ok I'm thinking of starting my own organization,
United Exhaust Cleaners who would Like know by whom and when to get certified.

UECWWLKBWAWTGC For short
 
I've been silent because all of the other posts that I have made have been deemed inappropriate and have been edited or deleted.

Am I allowed to speak now?

I've been meaning to say something about the IKECA logos on the members stickers. If you could let the members know that us CHDCA's would appreciate it if the size of the logo on their hood stickers could be reduced, it would take a lot less time removing them. Since we are all in this business to make each others lives less complicated, I'm sure everyone should be eager to make this change. :)

I can also forsee a problem with UECWWLKBWAWTGC on the stickers as well. Please keep this suggestion in mind when sticker printing time comes.:D
 
There are two ways to do everything, the right way and the wong way or the easy way and the hard way, the simple way and the difficult way, have you considered making your sticker bigger? I really don't think IKECA will give 30 seconds to redesign its sticker to accomodate the CHCDA
 
President of Coca Cola

I must toot my own horn. It is a beautiful thing to see a CHDCA stickers replace IKECA stickers any day.

We have spent more than 30 seconds on the needs of our members and have created an association that welcomes all, and even created a cool logo to go on our stickers (just to replace all of those IKECA stickers).

I'm like the president of Coca Cola and I've been invited to Pepsi's board to discuss cola. The problem is that every time I mention how much better Coke is I'm accused of trying to sell Coke and every time I point out what's wrong with Pepsi I get accused of not contributing.

I will always defend our network and our way of doing things.

The problem is that most people can't tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi and when they are in a store they'll order a "Coke" but what they mean is anything that is put on their table that resembles a cola.

Same goes with hood cleaners. There is so little difference between Coke and Pepsi that most don't bother to go out of their way to make sure that they only get one or the other.

The way I contribute to this board is I force you to consider that there is something different besides Pepsi on this planet and that Coke is a good product, priced right that sells like crazy.

Not everybody likes Coke and not everybody likes Pepsi. The point is they both taste good and they both sell.

There is no way for me to participate on this board without mentioning my product or what I do.

So, taste Coke, even though Pepsi has been your main drink for so long that you didn't even know that something else existed.

Coke goes much better with soup.

Hood Stickers, Arent they for information as recomended by NFPA? Of course they are, whether they mention any affiliation to any organization or not. Company name, date service, prescribed proceedure, affiliated organization, etc. All that info should be on there. But more than that its saying, Im proud of my work and want to let everyone who sees it that I was here. Also it is a liability issue which says , Ive done everything in my ability to clean it correctly, and I will be standing behind it also.
Isnt that little hood sticker like a "grafitti tag", saying , this is my turf? The general public is uninformed and could care less what affiliations you have. Sad but true. Quality work, professional demeaner, price is what they care about. Not alway in that order. As far as removing those other guys stickers, ten seconds with a sharp razor knife, install new sticker, done deal.

Ps: Rusty , You're not going to find any converts here. Coke , Pepsi, RC or what ever. You just keep reinforcing my theory of NPD.
 
AKHCA, The founding members are on the last page with contact info. Names , phone number and email. From their short bio they have been in the business 25 and 15 years. Someone can do the research thru Thomas Register on them.
 
I like Coke. Looks like we have a new brand of cola. 5 cans for a dollar? Looks like a certifier, not a trainer. You can't compare Shasta to "The Real Thing":D
