Built for kitchens that never seat a guest
A delivery-only kitchen is judged by the bag that reaches the customer and by the app rating that follows. Behind that bag sits a kitchen running several brands at once, packing hundreds of orders and handing them to a steady stream of drivers. Concord Janitorial keeps those kitchens clean between the rushes, so each shift starts on a clean line and a clear pickup counter.
Ghost kitchens differ from a shared commissary. The same operator often runs every station, the busiest hours are lunch and late evening, and the front of the building is a pickup lobby rather than a dining room. Your plan follows that shape.
Delivery-only kitchens around Concord
Delivery-only and multi-brand kitchens open in light industrial units and former retail spaces across Contra Costa County.
From a single-operator unit to a multi-brand site, each kitchen gets a plan built around its stations, brands and shift times.
Lines, floors and drains between shifts
Short gaps between dayparts leave little time for deep cleaning, so we do it in the window you give us, most often overnight. Prep tables, cook lines and equipment exteriors are degreased, backsplashes are scrubbed and handles are wiped.
Floors take a beating from constant foot traffic and dropped food, so they are scrubbed and the drains flushed on every overnight visit. Mats are lifted, cleaned and dried before they go back.
Packing tables, pickup shelves and driver lobbies
The packing station handles more touches than any surface in the building. Tables, label printers, bag racks and lid and container shelves are wiped down, packaging debris is cleared and the floor under the station is swept and mopped. Restocking areas are left orderly for the next shift.
Driver pickup shelves, order screens and the lobby counter are cleaned and disinfected, and the pickup lobby floor, entry glass and door handles get attention at every visit. A clean, well-lit lobby keeps drivers moving and shows that the brands inside run a careful kitchen.
Cold storage and back-of-house rooms
Walk-ins hold stock for several brands at once, so their floors, gaskets and handles are cleaned before drips can freeze or turn sticky. Dry storage is swept and dusted, and empty boxes are broken down and taken to recycling.
Staff restrooms, hand sinks, break areas and lockers are cleaned and restocked, so the team working long delivery shifts has a decent place to step away to.
Trash rooms, exteriors and pest pressure
High order volume means high waste volume. Delivery kitchens fill bins with food scraps, used containers and cardboard every shift, and trash rooms and dumpster enclosures turn sour fast in the East Bay’s warm months. Crews empty and wash interior bins, clean the trash room floor and walls, and keep the area around the dumpster swept, with heavier grease and stains lifted through our pressure washing service.
Clean floors, cleared food debris and empty corners also give your pest control provider far less to fight. Shift reports flag any crumbs, spills or gaps the crew finds behind equipment, so your team can fix them before the next service call.
Entry doors, the curb where drivers stop and the walk from the lot to the pickup counter are part of every visit, since they are the only part of the kitchen most drivers ever see.
Scheduling, reporting and price
A delivery kitchen is usually quietest between the late-night close and the morning prep, and that is where overnight visits go. Kitchens running around the clock can choose shorter, more frequent visits by zone, so the line, the packing area and the lobby are each cleaned without stopping orders.
Price is set by kitchen size, the number of stations and brands, operating hours, visit frequency and floor scrubbing. A walkthrough produces a written quote. Kitchens renting time to outside tenants can also use our commercial shared kitchen cleaning plan.
A few useful answers
Common questions.
When do you clean a kitchen that cooks for delivery all day?
Usually overnight between close and morning prep, or in short zone-by-zone visits for kitchens that run around the clock.
Do you clean the driver pickup area too?
Yes. Pickup shelves, order screens, the lobby counter, entry glass and the lobby floor are cleaned on every visit.
How is a ghost kitchen plan different from a shared kitchen plan?
It centers on fast daypart turnover, packing stations and driver lobbies rather than handoffs between independent tenants.
Do you clean the trash room and dumpster area?
Yes. Interior bins are washed, the trash room floor and walls are cleaned and the dumpster area is kept swept.
