Seat Pricing

[Nomad74]

Need a little input from the braintrust. I have been asked to bid a movie theater. They have hundreds, if not over a thousand, seats. I really don't want to do seat after seat in a dark theater for $1 each. $5 would make it worth it for me. The manager straight up told me they are looking for a good company to come in and clean because they are aware that the other guys they used were "Not good", his words.

Lately I've been pricing my bids higher and getting them. Thinking about doing it here also. Anyway, what is the going rate for a theater seat?

Ask in a round about way his budget.

$1 a seat lol.

They can say they want good but it always comes down to price.

Yeah I also thought that was funny. But when you own a coit or steemer you gotta meet payroll somehow. And when you have employees, who cares how much they sweat.

I'll ask right out when they start heehawwing around and I feel im wasting my time.

I usually am.

Theater carpet is hard to clean all the non dairy yellow additive is everywhere

Cleaning the seats is backbreaking work. Think of your back then think of your price.

From my lesson, cleaning 785 chairs at that mega church last year...you need two upholstery tools minimum and 3 guys on the job to get in and out in a reasonable time.

How clean are they wanting them. I had an upholstery instructor tell a story of cleaning a theater. He was always asked to do the carpet but never the chairs. So he asked why. They liked his work and he did a beautiful job on the carpet but he was bidding too high on the seats, they only wanted them freshened up they didn't want a deep clean on the seats. So they cleaned them with upholstery shampoo, horsehair brush and a bucket of water. Find out what kind of clean they are wanting. They are in a dark room may not want a hwe just a bonnet clean.

I guess I’ll buy a bucket.

But can you find a couple guys to do most of the work?
