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 had FOUR accept my prices. The rest? Rude, indifferent, or just plain not interested. It has been worth it for the four though.... dropped my $4.50 per sq metre down to $3 per, but with them moving all tables & chairs I've still made my hourly aim. These were not the best places. Usually they were Mom & Pop places that were sick of bad jobs. Usually they were in out of the way areas. Good luck- Allen |

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.

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. Edited by Carpetologist |
