Ember Service Partners acquires and grows exceptional commercial kitchen safety businesses. Hood cleaning, filter exchange, grease trap, and fire protection. A long-term home for operators who have built something worth protecting.
Our partner companies keep commercial kitchens safe, compliant, and operating at their best. Every service we offer is mandated by code, which means our clients depend on us not once, but on a recurring schedule, for as long as they operate.
NFPA 96-mandated cleaning of commercial kitchen exhaust hoods, ducts, fans, and associated systems. From high-volume charbroil kitchens to hospital cafeterias, certified, documented, and on schedule.
Recurring filter exchange programs keeping grease from accumulating between hood cleanings. High-volume kitchens require bi-weekly or monthly exchange. We make it seamless and automatic.
Municipal code-required grease trap pumping and cleaning for commercial kitchens. The same customers, the same visit window, consolidated with your hood program for maximum convenience.
Annual and semi-annual fire extinguisher inspection, certification, and service. NFPA 10-compliant programs for commercial kitchen environments. The compliance partner facility managers rely on.
Too many acquisitions treat people like line items. We built Ember around the opposite belief: that great operators built great businesses because of great people, and our job is to honor that.
We don't restructure what made you successful. Your technicians keep their jobs, their tenure, and their customer relationships. We build around them.
In almost every case, your company keeps its name. Your customers continue working with the brand they've trusted for years. We operate behind the scenes.
We are not buying your business to flip it. We are building a long-term home for the operators who built this industry, and we intend to hold it that way.
Route consistency, technician retention, and client relationships are not soft metrics. They are the business. We invest in the people who drive them.
We bring professional tools: compliance portals, route optimization, recruiting infrastructure. We take the admin burden off your team, not the work.
LOI within two weeks of alignment. Diligence and close typically within 45 to 60 days. No drama, no surprises. We move when there is conviction.
Many business owners rightly fear the prospect of selling. Too often, employees and customers get lost when financial engineering takes precedence over mission and values. We built Ember to be different.
Whether you are thinking about retirement, a transition to a new chapter, or simply exploring your options, we want to understand what you have built and what matters most to you. No pressure and no obligation in a first conversation.
Talk to Us"The people who built this industry deserve a buyer who understands what they built and why the people inside it matter."Lucas Beyer · Founder, Ember Service Partners
We designed our acquisition process to be transparent, efficient, and honest. We move quickly when there is alignment and we don't waste your time when there isn't.
We listen first. We want to understand your business, your team, and what a good outcome looks like before we talk about numbers.
If there is alignment, we move to a non-binding LOI within two weeks. Key terms laid out clearly with no ambiguity and no surprises.
We conduct focused, respectful diligence. We confirm what you have shared. This is not adversarial. It is a collaboration.
Typically 45 to 60 days from LOI. We handle the complexity. You focus on your business until the day it transfers.
We named ourselves Ember to honor the work: the nocturnal shifts, the physical craft of keeping commercial kitchens safe. These values reflect what we believe about that work and the people who do it.
Advancing an owner's legacy is a privilege. We do right by our partners, their teams, and their customers in good times and in bad.
Route consistency, technician retention, and customer relationships are not soft metrics. They are the moat. We invest accordingly.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards of craft, compliance, and service quality. IKECA-certified, documented, and accountable.
We say what needs to be said. We do what we say we will do. The operators we work with deserve nothing less than that.
We are not buying businesses to flip them. We are building a platform we intend to hold for a decade or more. That changes everything.
We show up to learn. The operators who built this industry know things we don't. We ask questions before we make decisions.
Whether you are thinking about selling, exploring your options, or simply curious about what we are building, we would like to hear from you. No obligation in a first call.
