[New York, NY, February 2025] – Restaurant Cleaners, a leading provider of specialized janitorial services for the hospitality industry, is excited to announce its expansion through franchising. Since its founding, the company has established a reputation for excellence, and this strategic move marks a new chapter in its growth story.
Founded by Alvaro Merino in 2004, starting with a modest client base that included a local gas station. Alvaro, alongside his wife Maria, personally managed the initial cleaning assignments, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to quality. The company’s pivotal moment came in 2006 when Alvaro shifted focus to the restaurant industry, securing a contract with a renowned Times Square restaurant. This strategic move laid the foundation for Restaurant Cleaners’ growth, driven by Alvaro’s dedication to providing top-tier janitorial services.
In 2017, Alvaro’s son, Daniel Merino, joined the company, infusing it with innovative ideas and a fresh perspective. Under Daniel’s leadership, Restaurant Cleaners has seen remarkable growth, expanding its clientele from a handful to over 50+ restaurants, bars, and hotels serviced nightly. The company’s workforce has grown to include more than 75 highly skilled cleaners, all trained with the latest techniques and equipment to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness.
The janitorial services industry is a robust sector, with the market size valued at approximately $79 billion in the United States alone in 2023. The demand for specialized cleaning services in the hospitality industry is on the rise, driven by increasing standards for cleanliness and hygiene. With over 400+ locations cleaned since its inception, the cleaning and janitorial company is well-positioned to leverage this growing market through its franchising model.
The company initially operated in New York City but expanded to Las Vegas in 2024 to meet growing demand. This expansion is a testament to the company’s ability to adapt and thrive in new markets. As the company moves into franchising, it presents a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs and franchisees to join a well-established brand with a proven track record of success.
The franchise model offers a structured support system, including comprehensive training programs, operational guidelines, and ongoing support to ensure the success of franchisees. By leveraging Restaurant Cleaners’ industry expertise and reputation, franchisees can capitalize on the expanding janitorial services market and contribute to the company’s continued growth.
The company prides itself on building strong, lasting relationships with its clients. They understand the unique challenges faced by the hospitality industry and develop tailored cleaning programs to meet specific needs. The team’s attention to detail, integrity, and commitment to excellence ensures that every establishment is clean, hygienic, and welcoming to patrons.
As they embark on this new phase of growth through franchising, it invites entrepreneurs to become part of its legacy of excellence. For more information about franchising opportunities, contact us today!
