Take a look at the video of the day in the life at Filta. It was recorded on the Friday of a recent traning course. See the people in the office, some new Franchise Owners in training and the famous training BBQ.

Nobody was injured (or taken to hospital with food poisoning) during the making of this movie.

Atlantis Hotel Latest Wonder of Filta’s World

Kevin Boswell — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 18:59:21 +0000

Filta Franchisees, throughout the world, provide the FiltaFry service to hundreds of top hotels.

From Hiltons to Sheratons, Ws to RIUs, Filta helps them achieve their green credentials by recycling their oil. The latest hotel to take on the service is the amazing Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.

Filta’s President, Jason Sayers, says “We service hotels in over 20 countries throughout the world. Dwayne (franchise owner) claims that the Atlantis is the nicest we have. Well I know some guys from the UK, Australia, South Africa, Malaysia, and other countries where we service who will argue they have some better. However, there’s no disputing the fact that the Atlantis is one of the great hotels in the world.”

NRA Show in Chicago a Great Success

Filta’s Booth (5360) was busy during the NRA tradeshow and convention in the Windy City.

It was nice to meet so many existing Filta customers – some as far away as Panama – hello Omar! It was a really good showing for Filta, and we decided it was the perfect place to unveil a 7’ cutout of the bad oil fighting superhero FiltaMan.

FiltaMan was designed as part of the creative direct mail campaign for the second half of this year. Keep your eyes open for more sightings of FiltaMan and several other new characters coming soon.

FiltaMan Campaign Launched

The cartoon character “Mr Chris-P-Fry“, or “Mr Chris-P-Chip” as he was known in the UK, has had an update.

The new character, FiltaMan, is at the center of a new direct mail campaign set to go out during 2010.

The first two mailers promote the FiltaFry service. Initially, FiltaMan fights crime with his MFU with the headline ”Want to See Our Weapon of Mass Reduction?“ In a follow up, FiltaMan fights Evil Oil with the tagline “Bad Oil is Evil… Stop it!”.

Next the FiltaBio service mailer shows FiltaMan kicking away an old waste oil dumpster and, for those Filta aficionados out there, the updated Mr Chris-P-Fry is featured in the background.

The final mailer promotes the FiltaCool service with FiltaMan combating “Frosty Stalker“ with the tagline “Stop Good Food Going Bad“.

If that wasn’t enough, a 7ft cardboard cut-out of FiltaMan has been made and is on display at the NRA Show in Chicago this coming weekend.

For now, FiltaMan is being limited to mailers and the show. If FiltaMan is a real hit, you may see him in your area soon performing more kitchen crime fighting activities!

Filta’s Green Credentials

Earth Day is coming soon, so we thought it would be worth taking a look at how Filta helps kitchens reduce their carbon footprints. Well, with three “green” services, Filta helps in many ways including:

Reducing the amount of cooking oil being used
Reducing the energy consumption of fryers
Taking the waste oil and sending it through to BiodDiesel
Reducing food wastage
Reducing cooler energy consumption and costs
Prolonging the life of the coolers thereby putting back the day a new one needs to be manufactured
