What Our Franchisees Say
The FiltaFry Franchise gives you a fantastic opportunity to run a successful Total Fryer Management Business from home. The business can operate from a single van right through to a multi-vehicle operation and provides a service that is required on a weekly repeat basis so the income potential is unlimited.
Getting started, Tracey Cockerton (Franchise Recruitment Manager) has been a massive help, guiding me from my previous job and into a franchise. The guidance I received took me through what would be happening next and I was always kept in the loop. There was no pushy hard sell, or rushing you to get a signature. Filta really understood the complexities of the journey and the support was tailored to help both sides along the journey. Once launched, Tracey remained in contact and is always there to help.
