got an email today . saying my contract with pizza hut has been terminated so got on the blower to the manager of my local pizza hut and he told me they have gone national. he said they are gonna charge next to nothing cause they will make most of the money on the windows above their restaurants ???
it was one of the few jobs i liked doing but hated the money paid literally peanuts. looks like i got a lie in wed morn
-
Great...I had a phone call yesterday about how much was charged and how often. Just a matter of time now i guess before i get the next call...

Well,still do at the mo until they say otherwise!
-
end of feb is the last clean for me

Don't know if the store you cleaned was like the one i do,it was hangin' every week,with kids hand marks all over,+pizza and ice cream smeared in for good measure!
Good luck to the mugs that'll do it for less!

The only thing they will do for less is to put the bill in.
Pizza hut goes national every now and again, then once the individual manager talks to the area manager, they realise that it hasn't been done but the bills have still been paid.
It will be covered in snotters and filth in a couple of months, just go back to it then.

I'll keep a beady eye on it then!
If it has been national before,seen the results (crap) why would they go back to it again?!! A leopard don't change it's spots,no matter what name it calls itself! ;)

There was a post on this earlier in the week, Dave Morris mentioned it was going national but nothing more was said. Something is happening but I'm not sure if they are going completely national. I had a call from the manager of one of the stores I do and she said they were cutting costs etc and she had been told she had to get rid of her window cleaner as it was too expensive compared to other stores, then half an hour later she phoned back to say head office had made a mistake and it was not her store that needed to sack (for want of a better word) the window cleaner but the store in Inverness, sorry if thats yours! Anyway not sure exactly what is happening but perhaps they are going to use a national for any store over a certain amount.

I know how ya feel when losing a contract for 'no fault of your own' .... lost several large exterior cleans due to take overs very frustrating.. However I would leave it looking imac !
Puts pressure on next guy - plus highlight it to manager on your last day the quality of clean!
If it all goes tits up your the guy they will call.
-

-

we posted on this topic a few weeks ago, got letter from head office asking our hourly
rate to be put on the invoice, we did not do this and had meeting with store manager.
this store in run on a frachise model and have been given £100 budget for window cleaning. Manager asked what we can do for this budget and agreed schedule.
she did have oppertunity to go with national supplier but declined offer due to our 5 years track record.
-
What do we know?
Got letter from head office today, bye bye >:(
owell replace with two house in half the time :)
-
Got my letter today too.
Won't be long b4 the smug comments start!
-
Me too got letter today lost 4 pizza huts been doing one for over 10 years and the others for over 6 years, not good hope the pathetic national cleaners loose them all due to the guaranteed lack of standard
-
Wow,not good.
I had 2,one closed down a while ago due to not being busy enough,so i am only losing 1.
4 is a big hit though,that sucks.
-
I canvassed the one near me in Queensferry a few months back but manager told me same bloke does theirs and the one in Chester and they were happy with him.
In fairness both always mint.
-
This is one I expext not to last.
They tend to have a lot of windows, with each store taking up to 2 hours
now the wc are getting about 20 mins worth of money to do them, so I can imagine things looking shabby before long
-
Each one i do can take me an average of an hour and half and are always done to a high standard,the windows are always covered in greasy hand marks and food spread on them and they are not just a quick tickle and off to the next job oh no so lets see how long it will last

We still clean 9 in greater London. Had the calls but still we will keep them.
We do floor cleaning for them also, probably had something to do with it.
Sad loss for some local guys thou.
We've been through the mill in our times I can tell you

So does anyone know who is the national contrator yet?

Got news and prices on each store, anyone care to hazard a guess at prices?
-
£8.00 - £10.00 a store to the man on the street.
Am I close?

Spot on mate, well as close as it matters.
