The things venue owners and managers ask us most, answered straight.
It depends on your canopy length, number of filters, duct run and how much grease has built up. As a guide, a typical restaurant with a 3m canopy, 4 filters and a standard duct run estimates at around $1,017 ex GST. Our quote calculator gives you a ballpark for your exact setup in about 60 seconds.
Your team can wipe down the hood and wash filters between services, and they should. But the grease that causes fires sits inside the plenum, the ductwork and the roof fan, where staff can’t safely reach. Cleaning those needs access hatches, hot-water pressure equipment and a technician who can certify the work.
Many insurers and landlords ask for proof that your kitchen exhaust is maintained to AS 1851 routine service standards. If a grease fire happens and you can’t show records, your claim may be at risk. Every Caterware clean includes a dated certificate and a before and after photo log you can hand straight to them.
No. We work overnight, between your last service and the morning prep. Your cooking line is covered with drop sheets, all wastewater is taken away, and your kitchen is clean, dry and ready by 6:00 AM.
It comes down to how much you cook. High-volume charcoal, wok and 24-hour kitchens usually need monthly to quarterly cleans, most restaurants, pubs and clubs quarterly, and light-use cafés every 6 months. Booking a recurring service saves you up to 15% on every visit.
Urgent jobs in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Logan & Redlands can be dispatched the same day, with the Sunshine Coast, Ipswich and Toowoomba next night. Standard bookings are usually within two weeks. Get your instant estimate below, or call 1800 228 371 to talk to us now.
