Printable checklist
Built for delivery, cleaned around the orders
Delivery-only kitchens make money on volume. Multiple brands cook side by side, orders are bagged at a shared station and couriers stream in and out of a pickup lobby from lunch until late at night. A sticky floor, an overflowing trash corral or a cluttered pickup shelf slows every order and shows up in the ratings each brand depends on.
San Jose Super Commercial Cleaners keeps those buildings running clean, with heavy overnight cleaning after the last order and short resets timed between the meal peaks.
Delivery kitchens under one roof
A delivery and pickup hall can hold two dozen kitchens, each cooking mainly for delivery apps and takeout orders.
Two dozen kitchens under one roof put enormous wear on shared corridors, pickup areas and floors, which is where steady cleaning earns its keep.
Tight turnovers between meal peaks
The window between the lunch rush and the dinner orders is short, so daytime resets focus on whatever slows orders down: the packaging counter, the trash and recycling corral, spills in the shared aisle and the floor at the courier door. Overnight, the crew takes on the full building, from kitchen floors, drains and walk-ins to restrooms and the pickup lobby. On weekends, when orders run later, the overnight start shifts with them, and the daytime resets move to the busiest stretch of the afternoon.
Packaging stations and courier pickup
Packaging counters collect sauce drips, crumbs, label backing and torn bags. Crews clear and sanitize the counters, wipe bag racks, label printers and order tablets with care, and sweep up the scraps that fall underneath. Bins for cardboard and soft plastics are emptied and relined so packaging waste never piles up beside the line.
Pickup shelves, cubbies and order screens are wiped, and the courier lobby’s glass, door pulls, benches and floor are cleaned so drivers collect orders from a tidy, well-kept space that reflects well on every brand in the building.
Cook lines, cold storage, floors and drains
Inside the kitchens we clean, crews degrease line surfaces, wall panels and equipment exteriors and clean under and behind the line. Walk-ins and reach-ins get floors, gaskets and handles cleaned, with every brand’s product left on its shelf.
Floors throughout the building are machine scrubbed with degreaser, and every drain and floor sink is flushed and brushed out, which keeps odors from drifting into the pickup lobby. Restrooms and staff areas are cleaned and disinfected nightly.
One standard for every brand
Site operators get one cleaning standard across the building and one point of contact, whether we clean only the shared areas or every kitchen unit as well. Supervisors inspect the courier lobby, packaging counters and corridors during their quality inspections, and any unit that leaves a mess in the shared spaces is reported to the site manager.
Operators who also rent hourly prep space can pair this service with shared-use kitchen cleaning, which centers on tenant handoffs. Single-brand restaurants with dining rooms are covered by restaurant cleaning, and daytime coverage of the pickup lobby can come from day porter services.
When a brand moves in or moves out
Delivery kitchens see brands come and go. When a unit empties, crews strip it back to clean surfaces: equipment exteriors and wall panels degreased, shelving and reach-ins wiped out, and the floor and drain scrubbed, so the operator can hand the next brand a unit that is ready for its first order.
A new tenant’s opening week is a good time for an extra reset of the shared corridor and pickup lobby, as boxes, packaging deliveries and installers pass through. After that, the unit joins the building’s overnight schedule or stays on its own visits, whichever the operator prefers.
What shapes the price
Price follows the number of kitchen units we clean, the size of the packaging and pickup areas, walk-in count, the number of daytime resets and how often floors and drains are scrubbed. Crews are background-checked, and each site receives a certificate of insurance.
A few useful answers
Common questions
Can cleaning happen while orders are still going out?
Yes. Daytime resets cover the packaging counter, trash corral, shared aisles and courier door between peaks, and the heavy work waits for overnight.
Do you clean inside each brand’s kitchen?
Yes, for any unit added to our visits. Brands can choose shared areas only, walls and floors, or the full cook line.
How are courier pickup areas kept presentable?
Shelves, cubbies, order screens, glass, door pulls, benches and the lobby floor are cleaned every night and touched up between peaks.
What is the difference between ghost kitchen and shared kitchen cleaning?
Ghost kitchen cleaning follows delivery traffic: packaging, pickup and nonstop orders. Shared kitchen cleaning follows tenant bookings at a common prep line, with a reset at each handoff.
Can you supply paper towels, soap and trash liners for the building?
Yes. Paper towels, hand soap, sanitizer and can liners for the shared areas and the units can come from our stock, or crews can restock from the operator’s own storeroom.
