Kitchen Guard Services is a new/emerging brand that operates in the Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning (KEC) industry. We are extremely excited to bring this brand to market as the KEC industry is highly, highly fragmented and there is only one true national competitor in Hoodz. We feel strongly that Kitchen Guard’s value proposition is clearly industry leading and ready to truly disrupt & professionalize a demanded industry.

Headquartered at our 19,000 sqft facility in San Diego, Kitchen Guard was founded in 2009 and has absolutely dominated the Southern California market. With an Ideal Customer focusing on class A commercial properties & middle to high end restaurant/food eateries there is a huge market that is demanded by fire inspection code regulations (NPPA96) therefore our services are legally required along with being demanded. Continuing with EverSmith Brands’ focus on the commercial B2B space, Kitchen Guard has demonstrated continued ongoing customer retention for ongoing recurring revenue streams. Scheduled, repair customers = a fully forecasted revenue model based on facts. Very imperative in designing business growth plans.

Kitchen Guard (with full P&L provided in Item 19) easily differentiates itself in the market place by not only providing premier kitchen exhaust cleaning, but additionally provides a robust filter exchange program, standard/basic technical repairs, as well as cleaning product distribution sales. Vast majority of the market place only provides exhaust cleaning, and only cleans the lower 50% of the KEC system, therefore leaving significant revenue & service lines on the table. As you can see, we have a much higher average service ticket, higher NPS survey scores for account mgmt, and a much sticky and retained customer; we are very excited to bring KitchenGuard’s proven systems nationwide!
