Optimize kitchen operations with the preferred UCO collection experts

In the fast-paced world of food service, having the right equipment isn’t just about meeting standards — it’s about ensuring safety, boosting efficiency and cutting costs. Whether launching a new restaurant, upgrading an existing commercial kitchen or setting up a ghost kitchen, handling and disposing of used cooking oil (UCO) is crucial to successful kitchen operations.

Every year, commercial kitchens across North America generate a staggering 4.4 billion pounds of used cooking oil. At DAR PRO Solutions, we are proud to be the preferred partner of restaurants nationwide, offering top-tier UCO collection and recycling services. Our advanced systems are designed with safety and efficiency in mind, ensuring kitchens run smoothly while minimizing waste. With decades of expertise in UCO management, DAR PRO Solutions provides tailored solutions that meet the unique demands of kitchens of all sizes.

What are the key benefits of DAR PRO Solutions systems?

• Safety: Our systems reduce injury risk by eliminating the dangerous and time-consuming need for kitchen staff to transfer hot oil by hand from fryers to storage containers. In addition, our National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and UL-certified containers ensure food preparation areas are sanitary, as we only use durable food-safe materials with a fully enclosed design. 
• Efficiency: We design our systems with an efficient kitchen in mind. DAR PRO Solutions systems are low-profile, which maximizes kitchen space, and they can be installed in kitchens of all sizes. And our contactless collection process is meant to be easy. We work with partners to create a convenient service schedule to ensure kitchens operate free of interruption.
• Cost-savings: Our systems are built to last up to 20 years with proper maintenance. And with reductions in injury risk and grease theft, managers can worry less about lost revenue and focus more on operating safe and successful kitchens.
• Sustainability: Our purpose is to repurpose. We make the disposal of UCO easy for our customers, giving their used cooking oil a second life in helping to decarbonize the world. The UCO we collect is delivered to our parent company, Darling Ingredients, for processing before it is routed to a renewables refinery, like Diamond Green Diesel, to be converted into low-carbon renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel.

Get started with selecting the right system

Commercial kitchens can’t operate without used cooking oil storage containers. These containers are a crucial part of any kitchen. DAR PRO Solutions top-tier designed systems and expert support and service, can help ensure oil is handled safely and kitchens run efficiently.

We're capable of servicing any kitchen footprint and have the technology to seamlessly overcome unique challenges. Adaptability is what sets us apart. We evaluate the space available, the type of containers required and ideal placement. We consider distances between containers and fryers to determine whether a direct pump can be used to transfer oil directly to containers or if one of our other transfer solutions is a better fit. We also work with customers on the best way to add containers to their kitchen layouts for seamless integration. We can collaborate with customer every step of the way, even during the blueprint phase to ensure containers aren’t an afterthought.
