Our Local Promise
Every visit follows the same, inspection‑ready method with Exactly 5 steps: opening walkthrough, targeted plan, controlled degrease and sanitize cycle, documented QA proof, and a closing walkthrough, so managers get consistent results and regulatory alignment. We align our schedule to your operation—pre‑open, post‑close, or overnight—so the process runs without disrupting service while still giving you a repeatable trail of decisions, hazards addressed, and approvals that makes kitchens audit‑friendly and staff accountable from the first sweep to the signed final check.
At the QA stage, supervisors validate the plan and outcomes with QA proof deliverables: a checklist sign‑off from the tech and manager, before/after photos tied to zones and equipment, and an issue log when needed that flags defects, access limits, or maintenance handoffs. Those artifacts are archived and shared after the closing walkthrough, so you can trace what was addressed, what was deferred, and what’s scheduled next, removing ambiguity and giving you inspection‑ready evidence without repeating your internal task lists.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do you prevent cross-contamination between prep areas, dining room, and restrooms?
We separate cleaning processes by zone to keep food-contact, front-of-house, and restroom areas distinct. Staff use color-coded tools assigned to each zone and change gloves between tasks. High-touch points are sanitized last to avoid re-spread. Supervisors monitor sequencing to maintain strict hygiene barriers.
-
How do you handle Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and chemical labeling?
We maintain a complete SDS binder on-site for every product used, and ensure secondary labels are on all spray bottles. Technicians review hazards before mixing and verify proper dilution. This keeps chemical information accessible, reduces misuse risk, and supports quick reference during inspections or emergencies.
-
How do you tackle grease buildup in kitchens, hoods, and floors?
We degrease systematically from ceilings down, targeting hoods, filters, lines, walls, equipment, and floors. Commercial degreasers are applied with a 10-minute dwell time to break bonds before agitation and hot-water rinse. Non-slip recovery and disposal follow codes to prevent clogs, odors, and pest attraction.
-
What cleaning frequency do you recommend for back-of-house and front-of-house?
We tailor frequency to traffic and menu. BOH often needs nightly sanitizing, weekly detail, and monthly deep cleans; FOH may run nightly touch-ups and weekly detailing. We map tasks to a rotation checklist so nothing slips, then adjust cadence seasonally or after volume spikes.
-
Can you clean after-hours without disrupting service?
Yes. We schedule crews post-close or pre-open and coordinate alarms and access to minimize impact. Noise-sensitive tasks start first, and floors cure before staff return. A final QA walkthrough confirms readiness, with time-stamped completion noted before we lock up and set the alarm.
-
How do you help us prepare for health inspections and audits?
We focus on critical control points, sanitize food-contact surfaces, and ensure logs are in order. A mock inspection checklist covers temperatures, handwashing stations, sanitizer strength, and pest harborage. We correct deficiencies ahead of time and brief managers so they can answer confidently on inspection day.
-
Are you licensed/insured/bonded and what documentation can you provide?
Yes. We are licensed, insured, and bonded as required for our service areas. Upon onboarding, we provide a COI naming your business, W‑9, business license, and bond certificate. We maintain a documentation checklist and update expirations proactively, so your files stay current for auditors and landlords.
-
Which safety or cleaning standards do you follow (SDS, OSHA/food-safety practices) and how do you document compliance?
We follow OSHA-safe work practices, SDS guidance, EPA-registered disinfectant labels, and ServSafe-aligned food-contact procedures. Compliance is documented through site-specific SOPs, training records, and incident logs. Supervisors perform scheduled QA audits to verify sanitizer concentration, PPE usage, and workflows, with findings recorded and shared after each visit.
-
What’s included in a standard restaurant deep clean versus a maintenance clean?
A maintenance clean targets daily soil on floors, restrooms, dining, and line surfaces. A deep clean addresses behind/under equipment, grout, ceiling vents, walls, and hood exteriors. We define both scopes in a written checklist so expectations are clear, measurable, and consistent across shifts and crews.
-
How do you ensure restrooms stay sanitary during high-traffic periods?
We increase daytime service frequency and prioritize touchpoints like faucets, flush handles, and latches. Disinfectant is applied with a measured 5-minute dwell time to achieve label efficacy before wipe-down. Supply levels are checked at each visit to keep soap, towels, and liners available during rushes.
-
Do you use eco-friendly products without compromising sanitization?
Yes. We prioritize Green Seal and EPA Safer Choice options where appropriate on non–food-contact surfaces, and use EPA List N disinfectants on high-risk areas. We follow required dwell time to ensure efficacy while minimizing excess chemical use, balancing sustainability with the sanitation outcomes restaurants need.
-
How do you verify quality and handle re-clean requests?
Supervisors conduct routine inspections and validate task completion with a QA checklist tied to your scope. If anything’s missed, we return promptly to re-clean the area at no charge. Feedback is tracked to prevent repeats and refine training, improving consistency across teams and locations.
