Awesome…looks like something from the 1940’s. Can you still find them in stores?

Let’s ride

Weird, all the Bdubs in my area look just as bad. Have hit up everyone and not a single taker. One location, the GM even told me he does it himself. Was really hard to not comment back to him. I will never understand how a restaurant can look like that on the outside and think it is not going to affect business? Want to look old, dingy, dirty and downright uninviting - completely ignore your exterior all in the name of saving a few hundred dollars a month. I feel this is both self-liquidating as well as a simple cost of doing business, just like landscaping.

@CFH that’s the exact same way that I think I have literally been after them for six months maybe eight months … and they wanted a one-time cleaning price I couldn’t talk him into monthly service or even every 6 months… but now since he sent the pictures to somebody and upper management of before and after it looks like we’re going to be doing the other local one in the next month or so and they’re talking about seeing if they can set it up to have us do all the ones within about a 2 hour and drive of here… it’s all about curb appeal man doesn’t matter what business you’re in if you’re in apartment and condos and your place doesn’t look like nice from the street people aren’t going to stop, if you’re in the restaurant business and your place is dirty on the outside why would you eat there imagine how dirty it is on the inside places you can’t see, it’s kind of how I feel about my pressure washing trucks if they’re all beat up and gross looking that’s your first line of attack is what people see you driving around… if they don’t know somebody that you used your service before and have no idea what you can do they just have to go off the professionalism of your vehicle… curb appeal curb appeal curb appeal… and that’s what we sell :slight_smile:

I think the best decision I’ve made in this business is scaling down to part time. I don’t know how or what is happening, but I’m on pace to make almost as much money as last year except I’m working half as hard. It’s voodoo so far as I can understand it.

I’m just busy enough. It’s kinda like winning the time lottery.

My guess is, that this is what you’re essentially doing without even realizing it. Your self-proclaimed OCD is an advantage :wink:.

Whenever I get time off, I end up wasting it, lol.

You’re probably right. I’ve spent more time working out, hiking, traveling, etc than I have since I was in the Navy 11+ years ago.

The Medicine Woman owns the highest rated massage therapy practice in, Parkville, one of my strongholds (tons of high end HOAs). She charges the highest prices in her area too. Makes for more free time.

It’s been a lot of fun doing fun stuff with another like minded person. That’s been helpful too in hitting reset.

@squidskc So that’s what you’ve been up to. I noticed awhile ago I wasn’t seeing you post as much as you used to. Congrats on the free time you’ve earned yourself. I know you’ve worked for it!

I’ve done IT work at a number of restaurants. Most kitchens and bars tend to be filthy. :flushed:

I’m assuming you had a nice little price increase to make up the difference? That’s awesome man, congrats! I wouldn’t mind figuring out your voodoo and applying that myself!

Must be voodoo. Are you just picking high end jobs and turning down low end ones? Wife needs me home more and might have to give up washing :weary:

@Grizz whatever you know you’re not going to give up washing
