What does restaurant and café cleaning include each visit?
Front of house only: tables and chairs wiped and set back, the bar or counter exterior, the entrance and door glass ($5 a pane when selected), the customer washrooms as complete rooms ($12 each), and the dining-room floor vacuumed and mopped. It is priced by the hour at $35 per cleaner-hour with a 3-hour minimum ($105 for one cleaner), or as a fixed per-visit scope written after a walkthrough. The commercial kitchen, hoods, grease and food-contact surfaces are not part of the scope.
The dining room
Every table and chair wiped, chairs set back or stacked as you prefer, banquettes and booth edges wiped, sills and ledges dusted, the floor vacuumed and mopped edge to edge with the chairs up. Menus, condiments and table settings are yours.
Washrooms
Customer washrooms are the room a restaurant is reviewed on. Each single-toilet washroom is cleaned as a whole room every visit; multi-stall washrooms are quoted as their own scope.
Entrance and glass
Door glass and the host stand cleaned every visit where interior glass is selected; exterior glass and the patio are separate.

How often should a restaurant or café be cleaned?
Every operating night for a full-service dining room; three or four nights a week for a café that closes early and handles its own tables by day. Halton's public health inspectors see the front of house as well as the kitchen, so the washrooms and floors are daily for most restaurants.
Agree the visit window with the closing manager: after the last table, before the alarm, with the kitchen's own close-down already done so the team is not working around it.
How do access, hours and security work for restaurants and cafés?
After close, with the alarm and lock-up procedure agreed and a manager reachable; the team stays out of the kitchen, the till and the storage rooms unless the scope says otherwise, and every cleaner is background-checked.
Tell us where the mop sink and the waste area are, and whether chairs go up on tables or are stacked, so the floor can be done properly every night.
What is not included, and what needs a walkthrough?
The commercial kitchen, hoods, filters, fryers, grease traps, food-contact surfaces, dishwashing, patios, exterior glass and pest-related cleaning are outside the scope. Bins and consumables are agreed at the walkthrough.
Ontario food premises are inspected by the local health unit; the front-of-house scope and visit log document who cleaned the dining room and washrooms and when, alongside your kitchen's own records.

Restaurant and café cleaning questions
How much does restaurant cleaning cost?
Front-of-house work is priced by the hour at $35 per cleaner-hour with a 3-hour minimum, so a one-cleaner visit starts at $105 before HST, or as a fixed per-visit scope written after a walkthrough. Each single-toilet washroom, interior glass and mopping are listed as their own lines in a fixed scope.
Do you clean the kitchen?
No. The commercial kitchen, hoods, fryers, grease and food-contact surfaces stay with your kitchen team or a specialist. Heron cleans the dining room, entrance, washrooms and front-of-house floors after close.
Can you come after we close at midnight?
Late-night visits can be arranged, subject to availability, and agreed in the written quote. The booking line is open 24 hours a day.
Are you insured, and can you provide a certificate of insurance?
Yes. Heron Cleaning carries $2 million commercial general liability insurance, underwritten by Tokio Marine Canada, for our cleaning and janitorial work. It covers our liability for bodily injury and property damage up to $2 million for any one incident and $5 million in total over the policy year, and the current policy runs to September 13, 2027. If your landlord or property manager needs proof of insurance before the first visit, ask at the walkthrough and we send the certificate.
How do you arrange restaurant and café cleaning?
Build the premises on the office calculator, call 289-813-7484 for a walkthrough, and confirm the written scope, price and start date before the first visit. The booking line is open 24 hours a day; a walkthrough, not the calculator, books the work.
- Build the estimate: floor area, visits a week, washrooms, kitchenette, mopping, glass and fridge interiors on the office calculator.
- Walk the premises with us: rooms, condition, access, hours and anything the calculator does not price.
- Confirm the written quote: tasks, frequency, price before HST and the start date. Ongoing work is a rolling 30-day agreement.
