Hi All

I just got a restaurant kitchen cleaning job and don't have a clue what the normal range for cleaning would be.
I have been doing residential cleanings along with working with property management for apts which is no problem.
I just need something to go on for this type of work.
It is 400 square feet and is in Melbourne Florida. It is a Chinese rest.
It consist of odor control for grease odors, degreasing all from chest level down.
Floors, two walk in freezers, two large sinks, stove top, refrigerator, six stainless steel tables.
This place will have an exhaust professional to clean the exhaust vent.
The owners will also be tearing down all walls and re doing them and they are all damaged.
The smell and grease was so bad that they wanted me to go in there first to make it a better condition for them to do work.
They will probably have me go back later to do a finish clean of everything but for now if someone could give me a ball park price, it would be greatly appreciated.
The property management company that I am dealing with said he knows it will be expensive and doesn't have any problem with the price. He said he know it will be 1500.00 or 1800.00 and said he wouldn't have a problem if it went over.
How should I handle this one. I would like to be able to work with him as a steady client but don't want to charge him too much that he wouldn't want to use me again.
If you need anymore info to go on, please don't hesitate to write back.
Thanks

Can you figure how many hours this will take, multiply by your hourly rate, maybe give some consideration, get a price that way?

Of course, you need to figure in your insurance and cost of doing business in your hourly rate.

Hi JudyKayTee

I have thought of that with adding about 25% for profit but know commercial cost more money than residential. That's about what I do for residential and didn't know if it would be more for commercial as it is more involved.
I am thinking of doing a t&m job to cover my being new at it but don't know the rate for a commercial clean.
I thought there was a difference in price as to commercial or residential.
Thanks

Hi, nanc1430!

I just moved and merged your two threads from Other Money & Services to this much more appropriate forum topic area for your type of business.

Please put any other posts on this thread rather than starting a new one. You've been advised about not doing that previously. This place doesn't work the same way that a chat room does.

Thanks!

My pet sitter runs a cleaning service, both residential and office - she charges 10% more for commercial (I just asked her).
