2 accountability lines every KEC contract should have.

December 5, 2018 · Don Pfleiderer

If you don't have this in your KEC contract, demand it. If you are a reputable KEC vendor, you should have these lines in all KEC contracts. The lines below are currently included in several major chain KEC contracts. This exact language was started and implemented by Scott Luther at PF Changs over 8 years ago to start holding KEC vendors accountable for their work and to stop unscrupulous companies from shortcutting jobs and simply walking away from major cleanups when confronted with their incompetent/incomplete work. Numerous FMs are now including this language in their contracts.

v Any costs associated with having to have the system or other considered related areas cleaned up by others as a result of not being cleaned as specified will be the contractors responsibility if said contractor is either unwilling or unable to clean as required. Any payments for services performed will be suspended until such time that the system(s) is/are deemed compliant and cleaned as specified “to bare metal”.

v Documentable evidence in the form of legible color photographs of the entire Grease duct, Exhaust fans, plenums and hood canopies with grease filters removed must be provided with each service before any payments are rendered.
