Las Vegas Company Helps Restaurants Cut Costs with Cooking Oil Solutions

Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions Offers Relief from Rising Cooking Oil Costs

In Las Vegas, where the cost of a gallon of cooking oil has surpassed that of gasoline, operating fryers in commercial kitchens has become a significant expense. Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions, a Las Vegas franchise owned by Lauren Wanco, is offering a solution that addresses both operational costs and environmental concerns for restaurants, casinos, and other commercial kitchens.

How Fryer Management and Oil Filtration Work

Filta's primary service involves comprehensive fryer management, which includes on-site oil microfiltration and the removal and replacement of used cooking oil. According to Wanco, a typical 50-pound fryer requires about a box and a half of fresh oil for a single refill, costing approximately $50 per box. Every time a fryer is emptied and refilled, the cost can reach $75 or more.

"For our service, we come in and we actually filter that cooking oil," Wanco explained. "So rather than discarding it, we can do microfiltration that extends the life of the oil and saves our customers money."

Cost-Effective Solutions for Commercial Kitchens

The oil microfiltration process removes impurities and prolongs the usability of the oil, reducing how frequently it needs to be replaced. Wanco emphasized that the savings for clients are significant, often enough to offset the cost of Filta's service itself. "In fact, it usually saves so much money that it offsets our costs, and we become a net zero cost," she noted.

Environmental Impact: Turning Used Oil into Biodiesel

Another cornerstone of Filta’s approach is its commitment to environmental sustainability through oil recycling. The company collects thousands of pounds of used cooking oil from client kitchens. Rather than waste disposal, Filta sends this oil for processing into low-pollutant biodiesel, contributing to the reduction of commercial kitchen waste and supporting cleaner energy production.

Serving Prominent Kitchens and Facilities in Las Vegas

Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions provides its fryer management and oil reuse services to a wide variety of commercial clients in Southern Nevada. Its customer list includes the CasaBlanca and Virgin River casinos in Mesquite, Bishop Gorman High School, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), Mandalay Bay Events Center, Johnny Mac’s Sports Bar & Grill, the Renaissance and Westin hotels, and the Raiders’ Henderson headquarters at the Intermountain Health Performance Center, among others.

Helping Restaurant Kitchens Achieve Cost Savings and Sustainability

By extending the life of cooking oil and supplying comprehensive fryer management, Filta is helping restaurant kitchens, hotels, casinos, and institutional food services both save money and improve their sustainability practices. As operational costs continue to climb, such services provide valuable support to commercial kitchens across the region.
