July 24, 2013—In just as little as three minutes, YouTube viewers can see how they can measure, monitor, and manage their waste cooking oil with Frontline International’s revolutionary M3 Data Management Software. The M3 System—winner of the 2013 Kitchen Innovations™ (KI) Award from the National Restaurant Association—is an optional web-based software package that pairs with Frontline’s waste oil containment systems and gives managers a dashboard for tracking oil usage, standardizing filtration, scheduling pickups, measuring diagnostics, and more.

Available for viewing at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3tl_ico_mc (or on the Frontline website), the video demonstrates how waste oil tanks become beacons of essential information and are the “smart” part of Frontline’s Smart Oil Management. Customers can track and monitor oil usage data at all units and track their waste oil profits.

The age of oil, its chemical composition, fry temperature, and regular filtration all affect the taste of fried foods. M3 gives store owners and managers the information they need to optimize the quality of the oil in their fryers. Restaurants, grocers, schools, hotels, and other foodservice establishments can now track and adjust oil change-out and filtration practices to help ensure procedural uniformity as well as food quality and consistency. Current and historical data is available online, and multi-unit franchises can access data for their complete footprint.

Frontline’s Smart Oil Management® Products Help Customers Incorporate Sustainability Into Everyday Cooking Oil Processes 

The drive for sustainability in restaurant operations has, in turn, driven the search to find the best ways of handling waste cooking oil. Selling properly prepared waste oil for the manufacture of biodiesel is one of them. Frontline International has invested heavily in the research, design, and development of its Smart Oil Management systems, which make it as easy as possible for its customers to handle, recycle, and profit from their restaurant and facility grease while contributing valuable ingredients for biodiesel that will reduce the harmful emissions associated with global warming. 
Frontline customers own their equipment and can reap the benefits of managing their own rebates on their waste oil, or “yellow grease.” The production of biodiesel is a growing market, with the U.S. looking to produce record amounts of biodiesel in the coming years. That means potential profits for foodservice operators on a commodity that was once discarded. To get the highest rebates, oil should be filtered and of good quality. Frontline equipment creates the best yellow grease yields in the industry, up to 95%, which can help operators earn average rebates of 15 cents to 25 cents per pound.

In Frontline’s Smart Oil Management system, operators purchase and own their fresh oil- and waste oil-handling equipment, with no monthly leasing fees. That means they own their waste oil, too, which promotes innovative and greener business practices and also ensures every possible drop of profit. 

Smart Oil Management also helps foodservice customers monitor their fresh oil supply and extend the life of fresh oil to save money. The equipment allows operators to collect and dispose of waste oil safely and profitably; tracks and monitors oil usage data at all stores; and assures increased control and profitability.
Smart Oil Management products from Frontline International were designed to help operators in the foodservice industry incorporate sustainability into their everyday practices—and to help increase our nation’s energy resources tomorrow by taking the right steps today.

Takes Less Space While Still Increasing Yields, Reducing Labor Costs, and Saving Money on Fresh Oil 

Both small and large foodservice establishments can save money on the cost of fresh cooking oil while increasing yields up to 10% with Frontline International’s Box System for Standard Packaged Oil, a hands-free, convenient, safer, and more cost-effective way to dispense fresh cooking oil for refilling fryers. Now, Frontline is rolling out a new version designed to fit a smaller footprint. The new dimensions are a space-saving 24 inches deep by 36 inches wide—but the system can still dispense up to 140 pounds (or 18+ gallons) of cooking oil.

With the patent-pending Box System for Standard Packaged Oil—winner of a 2012 Kitchen Innovations Award—operators purchase their choice of fresh oil in boxes or jugs from any vendor. Oil stored in boxes reduces overhead, needs less storage space than a tank, and reduces liability from purchasing bulk oil that can spoil. Frontline’s Box System maintains oil freshness and quality, thus providing a greater ROI and improving food quality. 

Simply place boxes or jugs upside-down in Frontline racks. Several boxes can be connected to several fryers simultaneously. Then fryers are filled either automatically (direct-plumbed) or by using a convenient, no-mess dispensing wand. Upside-down storage is the key—every drop of oil gets dispensed, increasing yields up to 10%. And the hands-free, automated Box System frees kitchen staff from filling fryers all day, reducing labor and improving productivity in the kitchen. Optional digital reader technology monitors the level of fresh cooking oil available, and stores and headquarters alike can generate reports on usage, helping keep oil costs down.

Did you know that hot grease causes more than half of all injuries among restaurant workers?* And, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, that 57% of all foodservice general liability insurance claims are for slip-and-fall accidents? With Frontline International’s Smart Oil Management® solutions, foodservice establishments can reduce or eliminate manual handling of hot waste oil, thus reducing the risk of injuries—which translates into lower insurance premiums and Workman’s Comp costs.
All of Frontline’s solutions, including their completely automated Direct-Plumbed® waste oil system, eliminate pouring or toting buckets of hot oil, which immediately results in labor and time savings and increases productivity and safety.
Smart Oil Management equipment for fresh oil and waste oil work together as a complete hands-free system—from filling fryers with fresh oil to draining out and storing waste oil. Kitchen staff can simply control cooking oil with the touch of a button. Using Frontline’s Box System for Standard Packaged Oil, the fryer can be automatically filled with fresh oil. Then filtered waste oil is automatically drained from the fryer and flows to a Direct-Plumbed® waste oil containment tank for storage and collection.
Frontline also solves the problem of waste oil storage in outdoor corrals, which makes restaurant grounds look bad and can create nuisance odors or attract disease-spreading pests. Frontline’s sealed waste oil containment tanks can be placed indoors, outdoors, or anywhere, with a remote control panel placed where you need it for convenience.
Employees never need to touch cooking oil again, and facilities will be cleaner, safer work environments with greatly reduced grease-related accidents.

Hands-Free—With the Touch of a Button

Frontline International, Inc., one of this year’s winners of the National Restaurant Association’s 2012 Kitchen Innovations Award, offers Smart Oil Management solutions that work together as a completely hands-free system for filling fryers with fresh oil and draining waste oil from fryers. Automatically, with just a push of a button, the fryer is filled with oil. Push another button, and used oil is automatically drained from the fryer and goes directly to a waste oil containment tank. No messy pouring oil or toting buckets of hot grease. Your employees will never touch cooking oil again.

Direct plumbing is the key

Frontline’s Box System for standard packaged fresh cooking oil can be directly plumbed to a Frontline fresh oil pump station, which then dispenses fresh oil to the fryers with the touch of a button. Fresh oil in boxes or jugs is placed upside-down in the Frontline rack system for storage and use. As an added benefit, the upside-down storage method dispenses every drop of oil, increasing yields by up to 10%. Then, with another push of a button, Frontline’s Direct-Plumbed® waste oil system pumps used oil from the fryer directly to a Frontline containment tank.

With automatic, no-mess filling of fryers and drainage of waste oil, labor is greatly reduced and safety increased by reducing the incidence of burns from handling hot oil and slip-and-fall injuries from greasy floors. A fully automated oil management system means a cleaner, safer work environment and fewer Workers’ Compensation claims.
