employee leasing for large resort

[WillS]

That is the best way to describe this situation. We have just aquired a ton of commercial properties that we will be doing quarterly. One of the maintenance companies that uses us referred us to a large Vacation Resort on the strip. This property referral has over 30 floors of condos/rooms. They have asked us this:

They would like an employee 5 days a week 7 to 8 hours a day. To do tasks as assigned as rooms check out or are vacant. Carpet, Upholstery, Tile and Drape cleaning. I will be discussing tomorrow with them what they mean by this. Will they be using our equipment and we will have to dedicate a truck to them? Are they purchasing supplies for the cleanings?

If they do want us to dedicate a truck, employee and stock chemicals, I'm thinking this would be between 15k and 20k a month. Which I highly doubt anyone would go for. I'm basing this off what one truck can do by itself in a month. That would be the only way to make it worth it.

What do you think? Anyone ever had a request from a property like this and how did it work out?

10 years ago we had a 6 floor facility we invoiced by the hour. They set the schedule and the area a month ahead of time. We cleaned or spot cleaned Friday/Saturday 3 weeks a month.

Good contract but it only last 3 years and the facility manager left the company and we were out.

$165.00 spotting cleaning 1-technician. $210.00 carpet cleaning 2-technician crew.

Idiot!

lol

 

[hogjowl]

I just asked a question.
Everybody’s so sensitive round here

@WillS pricing wise I'd be thinking the same way. If you are basically supplying them with a trained, insured employee, using your equipment and chems then you should stand to make what a truck would do on an average month, every month from an account like this.

Sounds like an interesting opportunity, good luck!

For sure don't extend yourself to buy dedicated equipmet unless you can amortise it within a contracted time period. Businesses are fickle and will toss you the instant a "better" deal shows up.

 

[hogjowl]

Sometimes though you have to step out in faith or run the risk of being an oven cleaner in a carpet cleaning body.

With no TM

What is the question?

He doesn't have any details yet.

 

[hogjowl]

Don’t ask me.
I’m just pissing on Taco

 

[Desk Jockey]

Hey I WAZ havin a good day.

 

[Old Coastie]

Did he tell you it was raining?

 

[WillS]

Will do they care about processes?

What if they want HWE?

No. They specifically said no hwe. The reason they chose us is the products and dry time.

They would need dedicated equipment, employee 5 days a week. The current company they use does a shit job so thats why they are looking. Current company buys all the chemicals and invoices them once a month for everything. Current company they use does not dedicate a truck, employee drives themselves to the resort, and does tasks as assigned. I'm thinking this would be around 9k a month. In discussions currently with them.

 

[Mikey P]

so for 9K you provide the worker, truck, chems, insurance, workmans comp, uniform etc..

Whats left over?

 

[WillS]

9k would be my base without chemicals included. That would net around 4k in profit a month. That would be for employee, equipment, etc. Whatever jobs are completed with chemicals would be additional cost to them. When I told him a truck out of order would be 20k a month, he said, damn thats alot more than we are paying now. With this one, I'm not "Excited" to get it or not. Just seems like a hassle when I'm still sitting on tons of monthly commercial that we have yet to complete.

 

[Mikey P]

So the tech would make about 800 a week?

 

[WillS]

Less @ $15 an hour. I would have to figure in adjusting this to make up for the tips they make through out the week.

Who would be tipping them?

Seriously? I see posts from good companies here hiring @ $11 an hour. $15 is a dream plus tips.

 

[Mikey P]

How much does Costco or Home Depot pay there?

Took it as tips if they were doing residential so he has to give weekly bonuses or higher pay to make up the difference.
