Restaurant carpet cleaning

Restaurant carpets tell visitors a lot about the restaurant they’re visiting and the quality of food they’re likely to get there.

I just spent a weekend in Aberdeen, where, miserable that the steak and seafood house we’d hoped to visit was closed, we thought a carvery might be a bit of retro-fun. Twenty-twenty hindsight suggests I should have known when my feet stuck to the floor as I walked in that the beef would be like leather, the roasties soft and the veggies overcooked.

Usually I wouldn’t complain and just chalk it up to experience, but it really was dire, so we said something and the manager, bless her, apologised profusely and gave us our money back.

Although they have some serious culinary issues to deal with, a little attention to cleaning their carpet would also give their business a boost.

The carpet was worn and dirty from years of customers and staff treading the same path (I assume most of them weren’t beating a path for the door every time though!). At some point the carpet had been a lovely red, and with a day’s carpet cleaning would again be the same stunning colour.

Have a look at your restaurant’s carpet. What does it say about you? Does it assure your customers that you care about your food and your customers by being cleaned every 18 months or so, or is it a greyer – or even blacker – version of its former self?

Finding out how much it would cost to get your restaurant carpets cleaned might surprise you. Imagine if one table of dissatisfied customers complained and you had to comp them their meal. Imagine if a dissatisfied customer told friends about their negative experience. Think about how much you could be losing because your restaurant doesn’t meet the standards expected by you customers.

Having your restaurant’s carpets cleaned will be covered easily by impressed customers coming back for more and bringing their friends.

Carpet cleaning needn’t been disruptive as most carpets can be cleaned within a day. It gives you the opportunity to clean the furniture, which can be removed to make the carpet cleaning easier.

Having your carpets cleaned also injects new life into your restaurant and your staff. Working in a pleasant atmosphere, just as eating in a pleasant atmosphere, is going to inspire your staff to treat your valued customers so they’ll want to come back time and again.
