Grease AI collects used cooking oil from restaurants, processes it to refiner spec, and supplies it to the renewable fuel industry. Scheduling, routing, grading, and payment all run on systems we build ourselves.
Fryer oil is one of the best feedstocks the renewable fuel industry has, and the business of collecting it still runs on whiteboards, missed pickups, and phones nobody answers. Grease AI is a grease company and a software company at the same time. Our own systems schedule the pickups, route the trucks, grade the oil, and settle the payments. Restaurants get service that actually shows up. Refiners get feedstock that actually meets spec. That is the whole idea, and we think it wins.
Three steps, one system, built to compound.
Long-term supply agreements with restaurants. Clean, locked containers, pickups scheduled by software before the tank fills, and market rates paid for every gallon.
Dewatering, settling, and centrifuging turn variable restaurant oil into consistent yellow grease. Every batch is graded and tested before it leaves our floor.
Full loads of tested, specification-grade feedstock delivered to renewable fuel producers and refiners, on contracts we honor for the long haul.
The incumbents run on habit. We run on systems.
Dispatch, routing, quality grading, and settlement run on tools we build in-house. No lost tickets, no dispatch whiteboard, no "we'll check on it." When a tank is filling up, our system knows before the restaurant does.
Trucks and tanks are commodities. Signed, long-term relationships with restaurants are not. We treat every supplier like the foundation of the company, because they are.
Our economics improve with every restaurant we add on a route. We pick our ground deliberately, serve it completely, then expand from strength.
A grease vendor should be the most dependable, least dramatic vendor a restaurant has. Pickups happen, containers stay clean, checks clear, phones get answered. That is the product.
Two operators with one conviction: this industry is won on the ground, not in the deck.
Restaurant groups, renewable fuel buyers, landlords with tank space, or anyone serious about the feedstock layer of clean fuel: we should know each other.
