A slow floor drain in the kitchen, a sewer smell near the trap, or a failed health inspection usually means a grease trap that is past due for pumping, or an interceptor that is undersized for how much the kitchen actually runs through it.
Between services, scrape food waste into the trash instead of the sink, and keep hot grease out of the drain entirely, since it solidifies further down the line and adds to the blockage.
Standing water at the floor drain, a strong odor, or an inspection notice are reasons to schedule service rather than wait for a bigger backup.
