Hey guys, I'm new here and appreciate this forum very much as I have read pretty much all of the posts applicable to Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning. A few months ago I started looking into this line of work and have researched the in's and out's since. Everything from equipment, to supplies, to operating expenses , insurances and marketing.
Where I live in West Ky, there is very little competition in this line of work, and from what I have been told by restaurant owners/managers, that the exhaust system is cleaned by companies in Lousiville or Indy...( about 2 hours away). Because of the lack of competition, and actually living in a decent size metro area, including parts of Indiana and Illinois, its really hard to get ahold of many guys in the biz to talk and gain some insight, and maybe some tag-a-long training. Because of this, I have opted to have training at one of the schools that offers hood cleaning. I looked into www.hoodcleaningschool.com, and they seem promising, but I cant for the life of me see what makes this school cost two and a half times more for some simple accounting and business info. I've looked into Phil's training, and I've looked into Fireman LLC in East Tennessee. What do ya'll actually know about any of these schools by personal accounts. I'm leaning toward the Fireman LLC school, not just because of the price, but because this school actually offers a well rounded business plan to offer fire suppression training and hood cleaning. My ultimate goal is to offer fire suppression, as well hood cleaning, with filter exchange as an add on service.
Basically, does anyone know of anyone that went through the Fireman LLC school?
Like I said, I'm just researching right now and gathering info. and trying to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze.
Anything that ya'll can say to help me along would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
