Entries, patios, drive-thru lanes, grease areas and dumpster pads.

Overview
Exterior cleaning for restaurants
Restaurants produce more exterior contamination per square foot than any other commercial property. Grease migrates from the kitchen exhaust and the dumpster area, patios collect food and drink residue, and entry concrete takes constant traffic.
This is exterior cleaning work — the surfaces customers see and the service areas that generate odor and complaints. It is not kitchen or janitorial service.

How we approach it
Sequencing, access and method
Grease is the whole problem
Restaurant concrete is contaminated with cooking grease, not just dirt. Cold water spreads it. Hot water and a degreasing agent with proper dwell time is the only approach that actually removes it, and it has to be repeated on a schedule.
Health inspection and complaint pressure
Dumpster areas and rear service concrete are the source of most odor and pest complaints. Recurring pad service is the single most valuable exterior item for a restaurant, usually monthly.
Working around service hours
Patios and entries are cleaned before opening or after close. Drive-thru lanes are cleaned during off-peak windows so the lane stays available.

Working with us
From first call to recurring maintenance
- 01
Call and describe the property
Reach us at (404) 313-8900. We ask about property type, approximate square footage, surfaces, access and how the site operates during the day.
- 02
On-site assessment
We walk the property to identify surface types, substrate condition, soiling, water sources, drainage and staging. This is what makes a commercial quote accurate.
- 03
Written scope and schedule
You get a scope that lists exactly which areas are included, the method used on each, the sequence across buildings or levels, and the working window.
- 04
Work performed around operations
Crews work nights, early mornings, weekends or phased by building so parking, entrances, trash service and tenant access stay available.
- 05
Walkthrough and maintenance cycle
We walk the finished work with you and recommend a realistic recurring cycle for the areas that need it, rather than selling the same frequency to every property.

Questions
About restaurants cleaning
How often should a restaurant dumpster pad be cleaned?
Monthly for most restaurants. High-volume kitchens sometimes run a two-week cycle, particularly in summer when odor is worse.
Can you clean the patio without closing it?
Patios are cleaned before opening or after close so the space is available during service hours.
