LTCH provides hands-on guidance to help you identify, plan, and source the equipment required to operate effectively in the kitchen exhaust cleaning industry. Rather than selling equipment directly, we take a consultative approach—advising you on what equipment is essential, what is optional, and what can be deferred as your business grows. Our recommendations are based on the same practical, field-tested standards we use when equipping and expanding our own crews.
This approach helps many new operators avoid unnecessary purchases, reduce complexity at startup, and begin operations with equipment that supports safety, quality workmanship, and professional service.
Beyond training, you’ll gain access to the LTCH Learning Community—a dedicated environment designed to support continued education and peer connection. This includes structured educational series, process refreshers, industry updates, and opportunities to connect with other LTCH students and operators who are actively building their businesses.
Graduates also receive complimentary access to our CRM platform for six months. This system is designed to help you organize leads, schedule services, track client interactions, and manage customer relationships in a consistent, repeatable way. The CRM supports organized operations, follow-up, and long-term client management as you begin applying what you’ve learned after training.
