What is a HOODZ Franchise?

HOODZ is a leading commercial hood cleaning franchise

If you want to own a business that serves an untapped need in a growing industry, investing in a HOODZ franchise is a wise choice. With locations across the country, HOODZ has become a premier kitchen exhaust cleaning franchise due to superior customer service, exceptional training and the full support of BELFOR Franchise Group.

Unlike some service brands in the food service industry, HOODZ focuses on helping restaurants, along with other establishments that serve out of a commercial kitchen. Our local teams specialize in cleaning kitchen exhaust hood systems, conveyor ovens, pressure washing, hood filters, grease containment and appliance deep cleaning. Our services help to prevent grease fires and maintain a level of cleanliness that today’s consumers expect.

Considering many in the hood cleaning industry are fly-by-night operators, HOODZ is able to secure long-term contracts and establish longstanding relationships with our clients because we deliver a level of professionalism that goes beyond the industry standard. This means that our franchise owners benefit from not only multiple lines of service, but also recurring revenue streams.

“There are two big things that most potential franchise owners look at when they’re evaluating the HOODZ franchise that sets it apart from most of the other opportunities out there in a big way,” says Nathan Willard, Brand President of HOODZ. “The first of those being the recurring aspect of the work we do. The work we do is not a one-time sale or a one-time service, but something that we do over and over again for the life of a client’s business.

“The other piece of it, which is equally important is the fact that it’s compliance-based. Most of the services that we provide are required services,” Willard continues. “They’re not optional services. So it’s not something where you’re trying to convince a prospect of the need for the item. It’s not an optional item. It’s something that they know they have to have. It’s just a matter of who they’re going to pick to go with for the service, and from that standpoint, there’s no one out there that can compete with HOODZ.”

Multiple Revenue Streams

HOODZ service offerings include power washing, grease and dumpster area cleaning, kitchen floor and equipment cleaning, and more. All of these services are designed to make commercial kitchens safer and are invaluable to restaurant owners and managers, all while creating additional revenue streams for our franchise owners.

Here is how we help our customers:

• Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning

While HOODZ has grown its national footprint across the country, there are still prime markets available. We’re looking for passionate entrepreneurs who want to own a business that keeps restaurants in their community safe, compliant with regulations and open for business.

Proven Business Model

Owning a kitchen exhaust cleaning business is a relationship-driven business. Owners of restaurants and managers of commercial kitchens understand the need for compliance, health and safety codes, and they want to hire a company that is reliable, professional and transparent. Because the industry is fragmented, and the majority of businesses in this space are independent operators, HOODZ owners are often able to secure relationships and retain business simply by being accountable, professional and by offering a comprehensive menu of services.

“If you talk with restaurant owners and facility managers about their pain points and their disappointments in services relating to this industry, they’re looking for a very consistent option and they’re looking for a very professional option,” Willard says. “Most of their experience has been very inconsistent. People don’t show up when they say they’re going to show up, they don’t do what they say they’re going to do. A lot of the services that we provide are out of sight and out of mind to some extent, so we make an effort to demonstrate our value by being transparent and striving to be the most consistent and the most professional option.”

Franchise Training and Support

If you’re going to leave a career to start a new life as a business owner, you want to be sure that the risk is going to be worth the reward. HOODZ offers robust training and ongoing franchise support to help driven individuals thrive as local business owners. By providing training that focuses on technical expertise and business development, as well as providing marketing support, access to industry experts who know how to grow a commercial kitchen cleaning business, and more, HOODZ takes the guesswork out of owning a business and will help you chart a path to growth.

“The training that BELFOR Franchise Group provides is exceptional,” Willard, Brand President of HOODZ, says. “From the marketing support to the ongoing business coaching, you will have all the resources you need to get established quickly and grow your business. The demand for our services is constant. If you’re ready to capitalize on a lucrative niche, HOODZ could be the franchise opportunity for you.”
