Restaurant owners, operators, and facility managers — this episode is a must-listen if you care about kitchen safety, compliance, and keeping operations smooth. We dive into the often overlooked but critical topic of vent hood and grease exhaust cleaning. Our guest, Ann Tran from Albedo’s Return Power Washing, breaks down how often commercial kitchens should be cleaning their hoods, what inspectors are really looking for, and why first-time cleanings are sometimes more expensive, and more.

You’ll also learn the most common mistakes restaurant operators make, from skipping filter cleanings to letting grease build up far too long between services. Plus, we talk about dumpster area maintenance and how it impacts sanitation, staff and customer experience, and pest control.
