most are on franchise. so it is down to the owner of that franchise, or at least in this area it is... Quoted on a McD a few years ago as a friends son works there. The manager nearly fainted when we told him our price and when we asked why he wanted to change his "old" wc's he said they were unreliable, they charged him less than half what we had quoted so what did he expect. ::) If you get to quote, be ready for time restrictions (this one said before 08:00) when they say windows they mean ins and outs (loads of grease) framework and plastic panels, door handles, serving hatches at drive through areas and the list goes on and on ;D

McDonalds near me isn't even worth  the time to give a quote. The chaps who clean around the town are working for peanuts, it's a joke and I wouldn't even think about trying to canvass any in that vacinity.

I wouldn`t waste your time on them unless you want to get treated like a number like the rest of the staff.

Wouldn't bother with stuff like that mate. Honestly even when you get the contract its a hassle. I know a guy who used to do two in my town and they were constantly trying to push the price up because they were under priced, whilst the Macdonalds were trying to push them down because they though the price was too much.

We do two
I am not going to tell you how much we make but it is way above what you guys are saying.

One we do is once per week - that one is the big one at Alton Towers and the other one is on the way to the Towers - this one is 3 times per week

Neither of them take more than half an hour

Rob ;D
