Choosing the right commercial cleaner for your restaurant

Late-Night or Early-Morning Hours

Few other businesses require as much attention to detail and the need for correct processes as the hospitality sector, and no more so than when it comes to the cleaning of commercial restaurants. A visually pleasing setting and reliable kitchen are of course crucial, but your customers pay for an experience that goes beyond the plate. It is your responsibility as manager or owner to make sure that that experience, and by extension those very plates, positively gleam. That’s where Jani-King comes in.

A professional clean for that super fresh start

Not every cleaning contractor is created equal. If yours needs a change (and most businesses find this to be the case every 2 years), consider our experienced restaurant-trained cleaners. The public’s dining experience should be a moment when the old adage “cleanliness is next to godliness” is realised fully and to this end Jani-King promises that its commercial cleaners fulfil their job at a time to suit your business, be it late-night hours post-closing or very early in the morning before starting the process all over again. Indeed, the Jani-King team are so efficient that our customers typically stay with us for over 8 years, four times the industry average!

What to look for in a commercial cleaning company for your restaurant

With our excellent customer retention rate, we know a fair bit about how to keep restaurant managers and owners happy with their cleaning. Here are the things to look for:

Reliability – you need your cleaners to come when they say they are going to come, all the time.

Quality of cleaning – lessor cleaning companies employ anyone who can pick up a mop. Not Jani-King. We train our cleaners to understand the mechanics and reasons for excellent cleaning. So, make sure you check what training these cleaning companies give their employees.

Health & Safety – have you checked to ensure that the commercial cleaners pitching for your work have got all the right chemical handling and COSH information and processes. Small scale cleaning companies might try and offer you a cheap price, but that could be an expensive mistake if something goes wrong with the potentially harmful chemicals used for cleaning. You don’t want your precious TripAdvisor rating to be devastated because of a mistake your restaurant cleaners made.

Is the company the right size for your business? – Are you a chain needing national coverage or an independent single restaurant? Big cleaning companies often send a regional manager who doesn’t care personally about small clients, but Jani-King is different because each local office is owned independently, so they take greater care of you and pride in what they do. We have the big company coverage without losing the personal touch.

The right clean for you – You need a service that is right for your business, whether that is a heavy foot-fall fast-food restaurant or a Michelin Starred establishment, the cleaning regime needs to be tailored to you. We come and meet with you and discuss your needs and see the specifics of your premises – it’s a tailored clean that makes us the King of Clean.

Guarantee – it is easy to make promises, but when you are selecting your commercial cleaning partner do they back it up with a guarantee? Jani-King offer a unique double guarantee to make sure you know you will always get the quality you want.

In a restaurant presentation is key

The presentation of a restaurant setting is as important as culinarily artistic presentation on the plate. Crucially, the level of cleanliness of both is what keeps diners returning. To this end, Jani-King ensures that our cleaners reliably carry out the following tasks on time, with the correct industry-grade materials, and always to the highest of standards:

– Immaculate cleaning of food preparation areas, fridges, and storage areas;
– ‘Guest-ready’ dining areas and hand-washing/bathroom facilities;
– Experienced, committed, and well-trained staff;
– 24-hour support for our operations;
– Regular inspections to ensure maintenance to processes and standards

Consumer perception is key when running a successful restaurant. We know this. We might be small, but with the benefit of our big business expertise and long-established processes, we have what it takes to facilitate the best restaurant cleaning process for you, whatever the size of your franchise. After a meeting with the owner, the best way forward for your restaurant – be it a single premises or larger chain – will be speedily agreed and enabled.

Our sanitisation services are so successful that your guests won’t even think to look beyond the food and entertainment you provide. Cleaning shouldn’t be something that your guests notice or comment on.
