FAQS
What is the difference between Eazy Grease and Restaurant Technologies?
The biggest difference comes down to business model. Restaurant Technologies (RTI) offers a bundled “total oil management” solution — they deliver fresh cooking oil, collect your used cooking oil, and lease you their proprietary equipment under a long-term contract. Everything runs through RTI.
Eazy Grease focuses specifically on used cooking oil collection and automated equipment. We operate on month-to-month agreements, give you the flexibility to source your own fresh oil from whichever supplier gives you the best price, and offer equipment ownership options so you’re building an asset — not renting one. If you’re looking for an all-in-one provider and don’t mind a long-term commitment, RTI may work for you. If you want more control over your supply chain, lower risk, and the freedom to walk away at any time, that’s where Eazy Grease fits.
What is the cost differences between Eazy Grease and Restaurant Technologies (RTI)?
With RTI, you’re paying for a bundled service — fresh oil delivery, used oil collection, and equipment leasing are all rolled into one. That convenience comes at a premium, and the long-term contract structure means you’re locked into their pricing whether the market shifts in your favor or not.
With Eazy Grease, you receive rebates for your used cooking oil rather than paying monthly service fees. You also have the freedom to shop around for your own fresh oil at competitive prices instead of being tied to a single supplier. Over time, the combination of rebates on your used oil and the ability to negotiate your own fresh oil pricing typically results in a lower total cost of ownership — especially for independent restaurants and small to mid-sized chains.
How does Eazy Grease rebates compare to Restaurant Technologies (RTI)?
Eazy Grease pays you a rebate for your used cooking oil. Your grease has real value in the renewable fuel supply chain, and we make sure you benefit from that. Rebate amounts are based on current market conditions and the volume you produce.
RTI’s model bundles used oil collection into their total service package, so the value of your used cooking oil is typically absorbed into the overall pricing of their contract rather than paid back to you directly. With Eazy Grease, that value stays in your pocket.
How does Eazy Grease equipment compare to Restaurant Technologies (RTI)?
Both Eazy Grease and RTI offer automated equipment designed to make oil handling safer, cleaner, and more efficient for kitchen staff.
The key difference is ownership. RTI leases you their proprietary equipment as part of their service contract. If you cancel, the equipment gets removed. With Eazy Grease, you have the option to own your equipment outright — meaning it’s your asset, it stays in your kitchen regardless of who collects your oil, and there are no equipment removal complications if you ever decide to make a change. Our systems are also customizable to fit your specific operation rather than a one-size-fits-all setup.
What benefits can Eazy Grease offer over Restaurant Technologies (RTI)?
Month-to-month agreements with a simple 30-day cancellation notice — no long-term contracts and no early termination fees. You stay because the service is good, not because a contract says you have to.
Rebates paid directly to you for your used cooking oil, so you’re earning from your waste instead of rolling it into someone else’s service fee.
Supply chain independence — you pick your own fresh oil supplier and negotiate your own pricing rather than being locked into a single source.
Equipment ownership options that let you build assets instead of leasing.
Responsive local service from a team that knows your market, rather than centralized national coordination.
Can I switch from Restaurant Technologies (RTI) to Eazy Grease?
Yes — restaurants switch from RTI to Eazy Grease regularly. The main thing to be aware of is your current contract terms with RTI. Many RTI agreements include long-term commitments and early termination fees, so you’ll want to review your contract details before making the move.
Once you’re clear on timing, the transition is straightforward. Our team handles the setup and gets your collection service running quickly so there’s no disruption to your kitchen operations. Reach out to us and we can walk you through the switch step by step.
If I work with Eazy Grease, I would need to source my own fresh oil?
Yes — Eazy Grease specializes in used cooking oil collection, not fresh oil delivery. You would continue sourcing fresh cooking oil from your preferred supplier, whether that’s a broadline distributor like Sysco or US Foods, a local oil supplier, or whoever gives you the best deal.
Most restaurant operators see this as an advantage. Instead of being locked into one provider’s pricing for fresh oil, you keep full control of that purchasing decision and can shop the market for the best price. You handle the fresh oil, we handle the used oil — and pay you a rebate for it.
