Residential Cleaning Franchise & Commercial Real Estate

Location, location, location does not apply to the maid service industry. Let’s discuss commercial real estate and how it affects franchise profitability.  My first franchise experience was with Domino’s Pizza.  I remember as a new franchisee breaking down every cost to the number of pizza’s I had to make.  Our rent in 1990 was $1800 a month ($18/SF/YR) for a 1200 sf commercial space.  Fortunately, there were no CAM costs for this property.

Back in 1990 food cost were lower, around 22%, as opposed to the 32% when I left franchised food in 2004.  Back in 1990, if my average pizza cost $10, $2.20 would go to Food Cost, another $2.30 toward labor, leaving $5.50 to pay all my other bills.  I calculated that if rent was $1800 a month, I had to make 328 large pizza’s to pay my landlord!  If we sold roughly 600-700 pizza’s a week, we needed to work nonstop 3-4 days a month just to pay our monthly rent.

We opened our first You’ve Got MAIDS® franchise in 2005 when rents where much higher than in 1990.  Luckily, we did not need a triple A location for our office. Our rent was only $600 a month ($18/SF/YR) for a 400 square foot office, no CAM cost.  WOW!  15 years later, in a seller/landlord market…rent for this franchise was $14,400 less a year!

At You’ve Got MAIDS® our pretax labor averages around 38%.  For purposes of discussion, let’s tack on 4-5% for payroll related taxes & 1-2% more for gasoline used by our maid-mobiles to get to your clients home.  Therefore if our average customer pays $112 a week for maid services, $42.56 would go to labor, $4.48 to payroll taxes, and $1.12 to gas, leaving roughly $63.84 to pay all our other bills.   All we had to do was clean 11 average client homes to cover our rent!

If you are considering starting a business for yourself, call our Franchise Approval Department to discuss what our residential maid service franchise has to offer.

GREEN CLEAN

In our ever changing world many people are taking small steps to save our earth. You’ve Got MAIDS® has taken the initiative; we’re proud to be both environmentally friendly and price competitive with companies that are not bio-friendly. It starts off with the phone estimate. Customers prefer this convenient and straightforward method which also conserves fuel and paper. In fact, most of our correspondences are over the phone or via email. We further lower our fuel consumption and carbon footprint by having our maids carpool to your house. Green cleaning your home with microfiber cleaning cloths, HEPA filtered vacuums and non-toxic cleaning products is a step in the green direction.  After all, it is the sum of the smaller acts that gives way to the greatest results. On behalf of the staff of You’ve Got MAIDS® thank you for partnering with us in our vision to protect our planet.

RESIDENTIAL MAID SERVICE

A professional residential maid service is a business which provides house cleaning for homeowners who do not have the time nor desire to clean their own homes. Residential maid services have become increasingly common in America with an industry growth rate of 20% a year.

RESIDENTIAL CLEANING SERVICE

A professional residential cleaning service, like You’ve Got MAIDS®, may be a few more dollars than a part-time independent under the table maid(normally between $0.71 & $1.42 a day), but it offers numerous advantages. We provide screened, trained, bonded and insured maids that bring all of the necessary cleaning supplies. In fact, when you hire us, you can delete cleaning products from your shopping list. Also, as a bona fide employer, You’ve Got MAIDS® is responsible for withholding Social Security income taxes, Medicare Tax, FUTA & SUTA. Most importantly You’ve Got MAIDS® worker compensation insurance insulates you & your family from personal injury attorneys.

RESIDENTIAL HOME CLEANING

You’ve Got MAIDS® strives to deliver more than expected each time. We get it.  A lot of residential home cleaning service providers over promise and under deliver. At You’ve Got MAIDS® we want long term relationships with our customers, and our goal is to under promise and over deliver.

RESIDENTIAL HOME CLEANING SERVICE

If you notice the maids do something that makes you happy, let them know. Better yet let us know by clicking our feedback button.  We care.  Your compliments are words of encouragement… like sunshine to your maids…they will not grow without it! Our CEO reads each and every piece of feedback before forwarding it to the local franchise office.

At You’ve Got MAIDS® we understand that communication is key, and we welcome all feedback…not just the good stuff! We carefully review and share everything with the maids in a construction manner. The good to great feedback gets shared at the morning meeting in front of everyone, and might go on our Wall of Fame! The not so great feedback is reviewed in private, and goes into the employees file.  As a company, we consume feedback for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
