Do not bury the kitchen in the dining-room price

Front-of-house after close can be a janitorial job. A hood-cleaning contractor is usually not. If both are in one monthly number with no lines, nobody knows what happens when the hood is due. Split the scopes in the proposal.

Six nights is 26 visits, not 13

Using an office frequency for a restaurant undercounts labor by about half. Match visits to the operating week, then adjust for dark days.

Common questions

Does this include the cook line?

No. Only the listed front-of-house tasks. Add kitchen tasks only if you actually perform them.

Can a restaurant owner hire cleaners on SweepTally?

Yes. [Find participating companies](/find-a-cleaner) and send a request. SweepTally does not perform the clean.

What about patio season?

Treat seasonal patio work as a date-bounded extra, not an always-on line, unless the contract says otherwise.
