Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) are capable of causing serious damage to your plumbing system – even in small amounts. The reason it is so harmful to let any FOG go down your drain is because these substances congeal at cooler temperatures, which can completely coat the inside of your pipes and lead to blockages in your drainage or septic system. Even temporarily lowering your standards for FOG disposal will also set a poor example for your employees. Daily grease management can be challenging for your staff, and they may be tempted to let more and more go down the drain over time. Sticking to best practices will help you avoid major plumbing issues throughout your restaurant.
