300 square foot restaurant carpet

[jerry ACC]

I don't do a lot of small commercial. This never cleaned 3 year old rest. carpet is 300 square feet. Up to me to move 9 tables and 36 chairs. I want to HWE the first shot and encap thereafter. .25 per sq. is not gonna cut it for $75. How should I charge for the cleaning and maintenance?

How long do you think it will take?

 

[TimP]

I would think it should be done in 1.5 hours depending on your nuke juice and how dirty the carpet is and what feet are on the tables and chairs (if they need tabs or not). I'd probably do it for 100-150 in a filthy condition. Shouldn't take much to move the tables and chairs side to side.

Having cleaned many restaurants over the years I would not do it for anything less than $150. Three years of grime is going to take some time to get out.
If they would be willing to go on a monthly service plan than $100 per clean after should be sufficient.

$150+

 

[Bob Foster]

150 first time and then 125 per

resturant

charge them 250 plus the moving

 

[steve frasier]

or a couple of free meals a month

 

[Ron Werner]

My min is 150, I wouldn't do it for less. Even on a regular basis, 150 would cover your time.

Gotta charge extra for night work so I wouldn't touch it for less than $150. Shouldn't take more than an hour after first time.

 

[Eric Scofield]

The dishwashers or buss boys can move the tables. If its late night 9:30 or later I have a 300.00 minimum, if its a good quality restaurant they will pay for quality work.

If they waited 3 years I would be very surprised if they got it cleaned again this year. There are so many restaurants available that are willing to go on a monthly basis that I wouldn't waste my time on the others.

If they're metal tables check under them for rust. If you don't tab them and they're rusty you'll be back for more.

Charge extra for night work???

$300 mins...

WTF is this world coming to...


anyway, yeah the $150 and 100-125 after would work...if they dont like it, then to bad...shouldnt had waited 3 yrs then...and if they get the workers to move the tables and such, and all you have to do is maybe vac and scrub...you could do it for $75...and tell them that.. be in there 30 mins tops if no tables to move
