When you decide to hire a professional restaurant cleaning service, there are several important questions that you must ask. The right cleaning service can make sure that your restaurant looks clean and professional and is a sanitary and safe environment for your customers, and your employees. The wrong restaurant cleaning service can be a nightmare.
How do you decide if the San Diego cleaning service that you are thinking of hiring is the right one? By asking the following questions.
- Are You Bonded And Licensed? If the answer is “no,” think twice before you hire them. Companies who don’t take the time and put in the effort to comply with state and federal licensing requirements or obtain bonding insurance are probably not very successful or very professional. In any case, if their employees or contract workers are not insured, and one of them becomes injured while cleaning your restaurant, YOU may be held liable.
- Are you available 24/7? If a company has a 24 hr service that you can call to request services and to speak with customer service representatives, then you can be assured that you will always be able to connect with them.
- What types of specialty cleaning services do you provide? What if you need a one-time move in or move out cleaning, construction clean up or day porter service? Will the cleaning service be able to provide these services and others?
- What is included in the service agreement? And just as importantly: what is not? Will the cleaning crew bring their own cleaning supplies with them, or will they use what you have on hand at your restaurant? Will you be expected to pay for the costs of any cleaning supplies or materials that the crew uses? Make sure that you are very clear about what is, and what isn’t included in your service contract.
- Who are some of your other clients? You wouldn’t hire an employee without references, and you shouldn’t hire a restaurant cleaning service without asking for, and checking their references, either.
