The VATMAN Business has run continuously and successfully since 1983.

We have about 95% coverage of all major towns in Australia (population of about 40,000 or more) and complete coverage of all the mainland Capital Cities.

VATMAN customers are commercial kitchens, cooked food retailers and caterers. The core business of the VATMAN franchise is to clean and maintain deep fryers and filter cooking oil, removing micro carbon material down to 1 micron.

VAT MAN was founded in Australia in early 1983.The VAT MAN founders recognised that food outlets of all kinds had a need for a cooking oil filtering service. They also realised that to be successful, such a service should be based on the owner-operator principle using a specially designed mobile filtering machine.

After a long period of research and development a machine, the MOBILE MULTIFILTERER was produced, and proven in operation. Since then steady progress has been made towards building a nationwide network of owner-operators.

Today, there are a large number of VAT MAN Franchises throughout Australia, in both City and Country areas.

VATMAN offers solutions to the 4 main problems usually faced by commercial kitchens.

• Kitchens are trying to reduce risks to their staff and get other’s to do this task.
• Oil is an expensive consumable that has a limited life span. VATMAN extends the life of oil. 
• Oil filtering and cleaning is a labour intensive task. VATMAN services are performed when kitchen staff are off duty. 
• Food quality is greatly affected by the condition of the frying medium. Regular VATMAN service will ensure high quality product output. VATMAN services also include the cleaning of hoods and splash backs.
