COMMERCIAL FOOD TRUCK DEEP CLEANING & HOOD SYSTEM SERVICE
Commercial food trucks concentrate grease, carbon and food buildup into a compact production space. Swift Star provides condition-based deep cleaning, restoration, hood-system service and preventive maintenance for mobile commercial kitchens across DFW / North Texas. Drawing on Executive Chef and food-truck ownership experience, I evaluate the cooking line, equipment, floors, walls, refrigeration and accessible exhaust components, then recommend work based on the truck’s actual condition, configuration and access.
BUILT AROUND THE ENTIRE MOBILE KITCHEN
Swift Star approaches mobile kitchens with an operator’s eye. Richard Pelliccia brings 20+ years of hospitality leadership, Executive Chef experience and firsthand food-truck ownership to every walkthrough.
That perspective shapes a practical scope around the cooking line, hood and exhaust system, equipment, stainless surfaces, floors, walls, refrigeration and the hard-to-reach grease zones daily cleaning may not fully address.
Each recommendation reflects the truck’s actual volume, buildup, configuration and access. Restoration establishes the baseline; a condition-based maintenance schedule helps the daily team keep it from sliding backward.

Preventive Maintenance
Recurring service schedules to keep the mobile kitchen from regressing.
FULL FOOD TRUCK RESTORATION
Food trucks with significant grease, carbon or neglected buildup often need an initial restoration before routine maintenance makes sense. The scope focuses on areas daily cleaning may not fully reach, based on observed condition, equipment placement and access.
Restoration work includes detailed cleaning around and underneath equipment, along walls, in corners and in tight spaces that are easy to overlook during a busy service. The goal is to establish a strong, clean baseline the operation can maintain going forward.
HOOD & EXHAUST SYSTEM SERVICE
Swift Star services accessible food-truck exhaust components according to the system’s configuration and condition. Scope may include the canopy, baffle filters, plenum, accessible duct sections and accessible rooftop fan components when access allows.
- Service focuses on accessible grease-laden components within the agreed scope. Before, process and after photos can document the areas addressed. Inaccessible sections, damaged components, and mechanical or fire-suppression work require separate evaluation by the appropriate trade.
01
INSPECT
Evaluate the truck, equipment and exhaust system.
RESTORE IT. THEN MAINTAIN IT.
Swift Star’s approach is to first establish a strong clean baseline, then maintain it with a schedule that fits how your food truck actually operates. The goal is to prevent the operation from sliding back into the condition that required a major restoration.
