Why Own a Kitchen Guard?

  1. Built-in Demand & Recognition
    Offer truly essential services. As a leading kitchen equipment cleaning franchise, Kitchen Guard’s services aren’t just critical to the safety and cleanliness of restaurants and commercial kitchens; they’re mandated by local, state, and federal law. Regulatory compliance guarantees demand—and demand is outpacing all expectations. According to the National Restaurant Association, restaurant industry revenue will reach $1.5 trillion in 2025, five years ahead of schedule from the association’s predictions a few years ago.

    Kitchen Guard franchise locations clean, inspect, and repair kitchen hoods and perform steam cleaning services to standards established by the National Fire Protection Association (i.e., NFPA 96). Since 2009, we have grown brand recognition through quality work and a detailed understanding of legal standards for ventilation control and fire protection in commercial cooking operations.
