Restaurant Technologies is proud to provide cooking oil delivery — and much more — to esteemed colleges and universities across the country including Rutgers, UCLA, Texas State University, the University of Cincinnati, and The Ohio State University. We understand the challenges faced by food service operators in the higher education sector, and pride ourselves on crafting kitchen solutions that improve not just efficiency, but safety and sustainability too.
Cooking Oil Delivery is Just the Beginning
Total Oil Management is Restaurant Technologies’ fully integrated cooking oil management system that’s used in thousands of restaurant and higher-ed kitchens across the country. It’s designed to simplify everything in the oil management process from beginning to end — from cooking oil delivery to used oil pickup.
When you become a Total Oil Management customer, our technicians come to your campus and install two storage tanks — one for fresh oil, one for used grease. The tanks connect to your deep fryer and facilitate the seamless flow of oil. Essentially, it’s cooking oil on demand.
When it’s time to change the oil, it’s as easy as pushing a few buttons — the used grease automatically drains and your fryer refills with fresh oil. Tedious oil management tasks that used to require your workers to handle hazardous hot oil now take mere minutes — with little to no oil handling.
What if your college or university has multiple kitchens or deep fryers located on opposite ends of campus? Our portable oil management solutions offer the flexibility you need. They’re simple and safe to use — and with the included connector hose, your workers won’t handle any hot oil whatsoever when they fill or empty it.

We Make Your Kitchen Safer
Whenever you use hot oil in a kitchen, it increases the risk of accidents. Obviously, hot oil will burn skin, but it’s also a significant cause of slip and fall accidents. If oil accidentally spills or splatters on the floor, it can create a hidden hazard somebody isn’t expecting later.
Restaurant Technologies also recommends AutoMist for improving safety conditions in commercial kitchens. That’s because grease-laden exhaust hoods are one of the single biggest causes of commercial kitchen fires — some estimates say that it’s responsible for around 20% of them. Even if you stay on your mandated hood cleaning schedule and pass inspections, it’s still possible for a dangerous amount of grease to accumulate in a short amount of time between cleanings.
AutoMist solves that problem by automating the hood cleaning process. All you have to do is choose a certain time for it to run every day or night, and at that time, AutoMist will begin the cleaning process. It’s a multi-part cleaning system that sprays a mix of water and grease-fighting detergent throughout your flue and exhaust system, clearing out all the tough-to-reach areas. That way, every day when your team shows up for work, they’re starting with a perfectly clean exhaust system.
Our Closed Loop System Improves Sustainability
Sustainability is also key for communication with the student body, faculty, prospective students and parents. Restaurant Technologies’ oil management systems can have a dramatic impact on your waste reduction goals.
We recycle used cooking oil into biodiesel fuel and animal feed. We’re also testing ways to make cooking oil delivery to college and university campuses more eco-friendly, including adding biodiesel and electric vehicles to our fleet.
