Average time to wash...

[Steven Button]

How long on average would you guys expect to take to wash a typical stand alone fast food location on a monthly contract (wendy's, mcdonald's' kfc, etc.) - all sidewalks, drivethru and dumpster pad with grease/oil treatment and gum removal.

Water supply is good, 5.5gpm/3500psi hot machine. Just looking for what timescale you guys would expect to have it completed by yourselves or by an employee.

I say between 60 and 90 mins from setup to breakdown.

What about you guys??

 

[Russ Spence]

45 minuites tops (60 min if its chicken or chinease) if it is on a regular schdule

 

[Steven Button]

Russ, monthly with one guy (employee)?

Thanks!!

I have asked this before with a google earth shot and did not get a response, looking forward to the answers.

I say 45 mins average with vac SC cleaner
and 75 mins without vac SC cleaner

Ron... You've got it down to a fine art with your guys and monitoring of production rates. How long per location for your guys and how many a night with a tight route...

 

[greg/sd]

If its you 45 mins to an hour,if its an emplyee a hour and half.

 

[Russ Spence]

Steven just one person, two people are not a lot faster in that situation because of the way they are laid out maybe 30 min for two

 

[Steven Button]

Thanks Nigel.

Thanks Greg... If you were to put one of your guys out for a night, how many would you realistically expect them to do?

 

[Russ Spence]

6 would be my number for one guy but ours are spread out here more than some places

 

[Steven Button]

No time wasting for your guys... LOL!!

 

[810f250]

Nothing monthly all quarterly and it is about 3 times longer, 2 locations a night, full clean

 

[Steven Button]

Bigger buildup of grease, oil, gum and dirt over the 90 days Nigel? Are you running a vac surface cleaner?

 

[greg/sd]

I have done up to 10 pizza huts in one night, but they were all within a 30 mile radius.

 

[Steven Button]

What size/type of surface cleaners are you guys running?

 

[Russ Spence]

Big Guys only here

Steven, thats the thing i dont have a measuring stick to go by, thats why this thread is great for me.

Yes 90 days of yuck is plenty, and I mentioned "full clean" because i have done a cleaning in 30 days time before and the curbs were not bad and gum was way less, 90days is wall rinse too. Soap on drive thru side wall if necessary.

start time is after the store closes the dining room around 11pm, SC is 30" mosmatic 3 arm non vac, 8 gpm, sometimes a 16gpm rinse down.

2 guys 30 min

Greg, now i feel like I operate like an injured snail.

what was the scope of work per store?

 

[Squirtgun]

Average for me on smaller store 1hrs to 1 1/2hrs. I have a few monster McD's that go 2 1/2 to 3 1/2hrs,but that includes doing windows(interior & exterior)

If your washing the following areas sidewalks, drive-thru (start to finish of paint not just from ordering window to pickup window) and the dumpster area your looking at running around to get one completed with 8gpm, a extremely hot degreaser, and 28" surface cleaner. I pasted a pic of one thats on 15 day service. This store takes around 1hr and 15 minutes to do the areas listed above.

with a scope as listed above you can expect a good man to get 5 done with 8gpm in 8hrs and with 5.5 we were only getting 4 finishing about 5:30 am and starting at 10:00pm
