- 24/7 Emergencies
Convention centers, arenas, stadiums, performing arts venues, and banquet halls across TX, OK, LA, NM, and AR rely on Facilitec Southwest for NFPA 96–compliant exhaust cleaning that lands in the dark windows between events — and leaves every kitchen and concession stand event-day ready when the doors open.
An event center can feed 500 wedding guests on Saturday, 18,000 arena fans on Sunday, and 2,500 convention delegates on Monday — out of the same commissary, concourse concessions, and premium club kitchens. There is no "slow season" to schedule around, only tight dark windows between events where everything has to be cleaned, certified, and reset before doors open again. Facilitec Southwest works those windows for a living.
Regular exhaust cleaning dramatically reduces your risk by keeping flammable grease out of the exhaust system and ensuring your suppression system can perform properly during an emergency.
Review of booking calendar with GM, F&B, and house engineering — identifying dark windows and sequencing hoods by outlet and tenant.
Full manual grease removal from hood, plenum, duct, and fan — with containment that protects concourse surfaces, premium carpets, and ballroom finishes.
Commercial-grade, food-safe degreasers and contained pressure washing — scaled up for arena-volume fryers, flat-tops, and wok lines.
Dated NFPA 96 stickers per hood, before/after photo log, and a venue-wide compliance packet delivered before doors open for the next event.
The classic midweek opportunity — a full concourse or banquet cleaning between a Saturday event and Tuesday’s load-in.
We start the moment load-out clears and the building is returned — kitchens cleaned and certified before the house reopens for walkthroughs.
NBA offseason, NFL dark period, summer convention lulls — the best window for a top-to-bottom commissary and concourse reset.
A fast pre-event inspection sweep — confirming every hood is NFPA 96 compliant and photo-documented before the first ticket is scanned.
Your rooftop is just as vulnerable as your hood. Facilitec Southwest installs and maintains rooftop grease containment systems to stop leaks, protect roofing materials, and prevent costly repairs.
High-volume concourse concessions and arena premium kitchens: monthly during active season, quarterly during off-season. Convention center commissary and banquet kitchens: monthly to quarterly based on booking density. Performing arts and mid-volume banquet halls: quarterly. Pop-up and portable hoods: event-by-event. We’ll build a plan around your actual show sheet.
Yes — that’s the job. We coordinate directly with house engineering, GM, and the incoming event’s advance team. We work the exact dark window your booking office already has, and we’re off-site with the house restored before the next trailers roll in.
Yes. We routinely coordinate with the major sports-and-entertainment F&B operators and the independent venue hospitality teams. We can work under their contract, the venue’s direct contract, or as a coordinated subcontractor — whatever your operating model requires.
Yes. A typical arena agreement covers concourse stands, club kitchens, suite commissary, premium dining, and banquet production — with consolidated reporting that makes it easy for operations, engineering, and F&B to stay aligned.
Covered. Portable and pop-up hoods used for festivals, fan zones, and premium event experiences still fall under NFPA 96 — and we service them with the same documentation and frequency discipline as your fixed equipment.
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency crews dispatch for post-event cleanup, suppression-system triggers, and surprise inspection prep — getting the kitchen back to operational and event-day ready as quickly as possible, so the next booking still happens.
