Who decides
Grease trap pumping is contracted by the restaurant operator. Multi-location groups often use one provider across a region, chosen by operations or facilities at the head office.
Where to focus
Many Texas cities run grease (FOG) programs that require regular pumping and keep records of it, so every location is a recurring account. Rank groups by locations in your service area and watch new openings.
Vendor approval
Restaurant groups usually ask for a certificate of insurance and a W-9 before a first job. Franchisees may also have to follow the brand's approved-supplier rules.
Timing
Year-round, on a pumping schedule set by the city and the trap's size.
