OCC Boss,

If you choose to get into commercial in any type of way you better become familiar with Bonnet or (OP) Oscillating Pad System. Most people will not pay to have large areas extract cleaned because of price. You could make more money at 10cents sq. ft. OP cleaning that 20cents sq. ft. extracting. Mainly because of less labour to pay. Search this forum and look into Bonnet or Pad Cleaning. It's what built the two largest carpet cleaning organizations. Most steam cleaners fight and knock this system. While others are going to the bank.

Keep an open mind.

Have not done restuarants for years. We set the price so high on them that most go elsewhere. If we get one at the price we charge, we can smile doing it.]]> Tue, 14 Sep 2004 12:39:05 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=562&PID=6438&title=new-operation#6438 <![CDATA[New operation : Doug: it&#039;s spelt &#039;niche.&#039;...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=562&PID=6429&title=new-operation#6429 Author: surroundings

Doug: it's spelt 'niche.'  There's no 't' OR 'b' in it.  (Sorry... force of habit.)

I've quoted on perhaps 20 bistro/resturant type places.  I've hadFOUR accept my prices.  The rest?  Rude, indifferent, or justplain not interested.  It has been worth it for the fourthough.... dropped my $4.50 per sq metre down to $3 per, but with themmoving all tables & chairs I've still made my hourly aim. These were not the best places.  Usually they were Mom & Popplaces that were sick of bad jobs.  Usually they were in out ofthe way areas.

Good luck-

Allen

The going rate is what you need to make a profit.  Commerical is not for everyone.  Especially resturants. Offices etc. are not so bad but resturants.  We don't do resturants because I am not loosing sleep for the sake of cleaning for nothing.  Usualy you can make as much cleaning a couple of livingrooms during the day for what you get for scrubbing your nads off all night in a resturant.  But everyone has to find their nitch.  It is nitch isn't it?  Not with a "B"Guitar
