Who are our target hood cleaning customers?
HOODZ franchisees work with area restaurants and commercial kitchens – any establishment with a kitchen exhaust system or a vented hood system. These customers are often required to inspect and clean these systems as they are inspected on a regular basis and owners will get fined if the work is not documented. This is great news for our franchisees who often have lengthy contracts with restaurants to keep these systems in order. Over time, franchisees can build a sizable business with retainer-based clients who use you for years.
