COMPLIANCE FILTERS GREASE TRAP FIRE SAFETY
What We Do

Four services.
One trusted partner.

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.

Hood & Exhaust Cleaning

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.

NFPA 96 Compliant

Grease Filter Exchange

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.

Recurring Program

Grease Trap Cleaning

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.

Code Required

Fire Extinguisher Inspection

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.

NFPA 10 Certified
Why Ember

We do things differently
than every other buyer.

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.

01 — People

Your team stays.

We don't restructure what made you successful. Your technicians keep their jobs, their tenure, and their customer relationships. We build around them.

02 — Brand

Your name stays.

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.

03 — Legacy

What you built stays.

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.

04 — Culture

People-first is the model.

Route consistency, technician retention, and client relationships are not soft metrics. They are the business. We invest in the people who drive them.

05 — Operations

Support, not interference.

We bring professional tools: compliance portals, route optimization, recruiting infrastructure. We take the admin burden off your team, not the work.

06 — Process

Straightforward from start to close.

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.

For Business Owners

You built something
worth protecting.

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
We look for operators with strong customer relationships, certified technicians, and a reputation for quality work. We are drawn to businesses in hood cleaning, filter exchange, grease trap, or fire extinguisher inspection. We especially value owners who care about what happens to their team after they step back.
Your employees keep their jobs, their tenure, and their customer relationships. We do not restructure teams post-close. We invest in them through training, career pathways, and better tools, because their performance is the business.
We look at customer loyalty and repeatability, team stability, service quality, and local reputation alongside financial performance. We value businesses honestly and will walk you through our approach in a direct conversation.
Initial conversation, then LOI within two weeks of alignment, then confirmatory diligence, then close. Typically 45 to 60 days from LOI to closing. No bankers required on your end. We handle the complexity.
That depends entirely on what you want. Some owners stay in an advisory role. Others transition out after close. We build the right structure around your goals, not a template.
"The people who built this industry deserve a buyer who understands what they built and why the people inside it matter."

Our Process

Straightforward from
first call to close.

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.

1

First Conversation

We listen first. We want to understand your business, your team, and what a good outcome looks like before we talk about numbers.

2

Letter of Intent

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.

3

Confirmatory Diligence

We conduct focused, respectful diligence. We confirm what you have shared. This is not adversarial. It is a collaboration.

4

Close & Transition

Typically 45 to 60 days from LOI. We handle the complexity. You focus on your business until the day it transfers.

Our Values

How we show up
every day.

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.

01

Stewardship First

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.

02

People Are the Business

Route consistency, technician retention, and customer relationships are not soft metrics. They are the moat. We invest accordingly.

03

Excellence Without Shortcuts

We hold ourselves to the highest standards of craft, compliance, and service quality. IKECA-certified, documented, and accountable.

04

Honest and Direct

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.

05

Long-Term Thinking

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.

06

Curious and Humble

We show up to learn. The operators who built this industry know things we don't. We ask questions before we make decisions.
