If you’re searching for ways to increase kitchen efficiency, enhance food quality and create a safer working atmosphere, Total Oil Management from Restaurant Technologies is an automated solution that simplifies every aspect of oil handling.

Traditional oil management requires employees to physically transport, filter and dispose of used fryer oil – an inefficient process prone to slips and burns as well as taking time away from delivering great food and dining experiences.

Automation and efficiency offered by Restaurant Technologies’ Total Oil Management can solve these issues. Here are just a few of its key advantages:

  1. Consistent Food Quality – Regular filtration and timely fry-oil replacement contribute to fried foods maintaining their flavor, texture, and appearance.
  2. Reduced Labor Costs – Automated systems decrease the amount of time employees spend manually handling fryer oil.
  3. Improved Safety – Decreased risk of slips, burns and injuries associated with transporting hot oil.
  4. Waste Reduction – Our system optimizes oil usage to decrease both waste and extend its lifespan.
  5. Eco-Friendly Practices – Used oil can easily be converted into biodiesel to support sustainability initiatives.

This system streamlines every aspect of oil management in your restaurant, helping it run more smoothly while guaranteeing food safety and quality. Here’s how it works:

1. Installation of Fresh and Used Oil Tanks Restaurant Technologies installs two tanks in your kitchen for storage of used fry-oil:

  • Fresh Oil Tank – Stores high-quality cooking oil for use in cooking.
  • Used Oil Tank – Safely collects waste oil until it’s ready for pickup.

Both tanks connect directly to your fryers and an exterior fill box for an efficient closed-loop system that eliminates manual oil handling.

2. Automated Controls for Ease of Use 

Once installed, our system features intuitive controls connected to each fryer that enable employees to easily:

  1. Add fresh oil with just the press of a button
  2. Automatically filter oil in order to extend its lifespan.
  3. Safely dispose of used oil without needing to manually transport it.
  4. Our system even works with fryers lacking built-in filtration for compatibility across various kitchen setups.
  • Scheduled Oil Delivery and Grease Removal: Fresh oil deliveries and used oil pickups are handled automatically. Restaurant Technologies’ service trucks refill your fresh oil tank while collecting waste via an outdoor fill box – no more messy grease disposal processes for your staff!
  • Eco-Friendly Grease Recycling: All collected used oil is converted into biodiesel for recycling, helping reduce waste while demonstrating your restaurant’s commitment to eco-friendly and sustainable practices. 
  • Real-Time Monitoring and Reporting: A web-based monitoring system lets you easily track oil usage,filtration activities and key performance indicators (KPIs), providing detailed reports and alerts to assist with oil consumption optimization and effective cost management.
