Ghost Kitchen, Real Blogs
Ghost kitchens are the future - delivery-only, low overhead, and lightning-fast. But behind the speed is a hidden challenge: multiple businesses using the same hood system… with no one tracking how clean it really is. In this scenario, Elite Pressure Pros is called to assess a shared-use kitchen with three operators - and some serious grease confusion.
A large commercial kitchen space was being rented by three delivery-only brands: a burger concept, a taco outfit, and a vegan bowls operation. Each had their own line, but they all shared:
- One hood system
- One rooftop fan
- Zero cleaning records
- No clear plan for maintenance responsibility
The property manager started getting complaints about odors, smoke, and staff discomfort. Something wasn’t right.
How Elite Pressure Pros Would Respond
Step 1: System-Wide Inspection & Usage Audit
We’d inspect:
- Canopy + filters
- Ductwork for all three lines
- Rooftop fan condition
- Grease containment system
- Filter rotation frequency
We’d also break down usage by operator to find out who’s cooking what - and how often.
Step 2: Deep Clean the Entire Shared System
We’d schedule after-hours cleaning and:
- Degrease the full canopy and all filters
- Access and flush shared ducts
- Clean the rooftop fan and grease catch
- Set clear before/after documentation per line
This way, everyone sees exactly what they’re paying for.
Step 3: Create a Rotating Maintenance Agreement
We’d help the property manager implement:
- Quarterly full cleans
- Monthly inspections
- Usage-based cost splitting
- Digital logs for inspectors and operators
Now everyone’s accountable - and the kitchen runs smooth.
What the Property Owner Got
- A safer, cleaner kitchen
- Clear documentation for lease agreements
- Happier tenants
- Peace of mind before inspections or insurance audits
Shared space doesn’t mean shared risk - if it’s managed right.
Why Ghost Kitchens Need Pro-Level Maintenance
When you’ve got multiple operators, nobody wants to be the one to pay for grease cleanup. But if no one steps up, everyone pays when the system fails. Elite Pressure Pros makes it easy to clean, split costs fairly, and keep things running smoothly.
