From the high-heat wok kitchens of Chinatown to the Michelin-starred restaurants of Tribeca, Manhattan's commercial kitchens are as diverse as they are demanding. Every neighborhood has its own mix of cuisine types, building layouts, access challenges, and scheduling constraints. A hotel kitchen in Midtown operates nothing like a late-night pizza spot on the Lower East Side — and the hood cleaning service needs to adapt accordingly.
Empire Hoods has built its business around understanding these differences. We know which neighborhoods have strict freight elevator schedules, which buildings require overnight-only access, and which cuisine types generate the most grease buildup. Whether you run a Dominican restaurant in Washington Heights or a corporate cafeteria in the Financial District, we bring the right equipment, the right crew, and the right approach for your specific kitchen.
Every cleaning is FDNY certified and NFPA 96 compliant, with before-and-after photo documentation and a compliance certificate you can hand directly to an inspector. We schedule around your operation — nights, weekends, and early mornings — so your kitchen is clean and dry before your crew arrives.
