How much does a Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions franchise make?

Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure is $1,571,984 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations).

Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions's 1% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $1,571,984 of revenue, a 1% royalty alone is about $15,720 a year before any other cost.

Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose 2 legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. 2 of those proceedings were brought by franchisees against the franchisor — the split that actually matters, because franchisees suing their franchisor is the signal a buyer is looking for. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.

Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a cleaning & restoration of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 0.3%, against a cleaning & restoration median of 4% — at or better than the category. Net franchised outlets moved +12 to 377 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions?

Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions's franchise is offered by The Filta Group Inc. — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at MN CARDS; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it. The same franchisor files separate FDDs for other brands, which is worth knowing — sibling brands share a franchise-support organization but disclose their own numbers:
