- Restaurant Cleaning Services Melbourne
ACS Commercial Cleaning provides ongoing restaurant cleaning services for restaurants, cafés, bars, bistros, function venues and other hospitality businesses across Melbourne. We look after the areas your customers see, the spaces your staff depend on and the cleaning standards that need to be maintained before service begins.
Restaurant cleaning is different from office cleaning. Dining floors collect grease, food residue and spills, customer bathrooms need regular attention, and front-of-house areas must be ready before customers arrive. Cleaning also needs to work around trading hours, busy service periods and the way each venue operates.
Our experience also includes cleaning for food-production businesses such as Turosi Food Solutions and Ferraro Dairy Foods. At Turosi, ACS provides ongoing cleaning across three operational sites, including staff amenities, lunchrooms and toilets. While these are food-production facilities rather than restaurants, this experience reflects our understanding of cleaning around busy workplaces with clearly agreed requirements.
We aim to maintain familiar cleaners who understand your venue, access arrangements and cleaning priorities. If an issue arises, ACS responds promptly, investigates the concern and organises a solution. Our founder, Hannah Kasay, remains personally involved in the business, and clients can contact her directly when needed.

What Restaurant Cleaning Services Include
Every ACS restaurant cleaning contract is based on a written Scope of Works covering the areas to be cleaned, specific tasks and cleaning frequency. We tailor the work to your venue’s layout, trading hours and cleaning requirements.
Dining Area Cleaning:
Dining area cleaning can include wiping tables, chairs, booths, banquettes and other seating surfaces. Floors are swept and mopped to remove food residue, spills and everyday dirt. Accessible shelving, decorative surfaces and frequently touched areas, including door handles and menu holders, can also be included. We focus on the agreed areas so your dining room is clean and ready for customers before service begins.
Bar and Counter Cleaning:
Cleaning can include bar tops, service counters, display cabinets, accessible shelving and surfaces around coffee stations and under-bench refrigeration. Payment terminals, coffee machines and other sensitive equipment are cleaned only where suitable methods and responsibilities have been agreed with your venue.
Bathroom Cleaning:
Restaurant bathroom cleaning can include toilets, basins, mirrors, floors, fixtures and frequently touched surfaces. Restocking soap, paper towels and toilet paper can also be arranged using supplies provided by your venue. The cleaning frequency is agreed based on your trading hours and customer traffic to help keep bathrooms clean and presentable.
Entrance and Frontage:
Entrance cleaning can include front-door glass, entrance flooring, host stand areas and accessible glass surfaces. For venues with outdoor dining, cleaning of furniture and surrounding areas can also be included where agreed. We identify the areas requiring attention so your entrance is ready for customers.
Floor Care:
Restaurant floors deal with food residue, drink spills, grease and regular foot traffic. ACS discusses your flooring materials, including tiles, timber, polished concrete, vinyl and stone, before agreeing on the cleaning requirements. This helps establish suitable care for each surface without applying the same cleaning approach throughout your venue.
Staff Areas:
Staff change rooms, lockers, bathrooms and break areas can be included in your restaurant cleaning programme where required. These spaces are used throughout the working day and need regular attention alongside customer-facing areas. We agree on the cleaning tasks and frequency based on how your staff use each space.
After Hours Restaurant Cleaning Without Disrupting Service
Restaurant cleaning needs to fit around your trading hours. Cleaning cannot interfere with lunch service, dinner preparation or customers arriving at your venue. Floors also need enough time to dry before staff and customers use them.
ACS discusses cleaning schedules based on your restaurant’s operating hours. Options may include post-close cleaning after the last service, pre-opening cleaning before customers arrive or split-shift arrangements where suitable. The final schedule depends on your cleaning requirements and cleaner availability.
For restaurants, cafés and bars trading seven days a week, we can discuss cleaning arrangements that suit your weekly schedule. Weekend and after-hours availability is confirmed before your contract begins, so you know when cleaning will take place and what is included.
Why Presentation Consistency Matters
Consistent restaurant cleaning is about more than making a good first impression. Dining areas, floors, bathrooms and staff spaces need regular attention throughout the week. When cleaning standards slip, missed tasks can affect your venue’s presentation and create extra work for your staff.
At ACS, we agree on the cleaning requirements from the beginning and give our cleaners enough time to complete the work properly. We aim to keep familiar cleaners at your venue so they understand its layout and priorities. If something is missed, we investigate the concern and organise a solution rather than leaving you to chase different people.
That’s why we focus on ongoing restaurant cleaning contracts with a clear scope and agreed schedule. You know what needs to be cleaned, how often and who to contact if something isn’t right.
Why Melbourne Restaurants Choose ACS
ACS provides ongoing restaurant cleaning services across Melbourne, with clear cleaning requirements, practical scheduling and accountability. We focus on getting the agreed work done without adding unnecessary work to your day.
Food Industry Experience
ACS has cleaned food-production workplaces where cleaning needs to fit around daily operations. We bring that practical experience to hospitality, while agreeing on the specific tasks and responsibilities for each Melbourne restaurant or café.
Safe Work Procedures on Every Site
ACS follows safe work procedures (SWMS) on every site. We consider the tasks, access arrangements and potential hazards before cleaning begins, so work can be planned around each restaurant’s day-to-day operations and trading hours.
Fair Treatment of Cleaners
We believe cleaners need fair pay and enough time to do their work properly. Rather than underquoting and rushing jobs, we plan cleaning arrangements around the tasks agreed for each venue from the outset.
First-Month Cleaning Guarantee
If we do not deliver the agreed cleaning in your first month, we will fix it at no extra cost. If we still cannot get it right, you do not pay for that month.
Colour Coded Hygiene System
Bathroom cleaning equipment never touches dining surfaces or food preparation areas. Standard cross contamination prevention applied to every hospitality contract.
30 Day Money Back Guarantee
If our cleaning does not meet the agreed standard in your first month, we make it right or you do not pay.
Owner-Led Accountability
Founder Hannah Kasay remains personally involved in running ACS and clients can contact her directly. When a cleaning concern is raised, we promptly investigate what happened and organise a solution without passing responsibility around.
Ongoing Contracts vs One Off Restaurant Cleaning
ACS primarily provides ongoing restaurant cleaning contracts, with an agreed cleaning schedule and a written Scope of Works covering the areas, tasks and cleaning frequency required for your venue.
Some restaurants need professional cleaning several times a week, while others may require cleaning every trading day. We discuss a suitable schedule around your operating hours, so dining areas, bathrooms, entrances and staff spaces receive the agreed attention.
If your restaurant needs a one-off or periodic deep clean of dining areas, floors, bathrooms or staff spaces, let us know. We’ll review your requirements and confirm whether the additional cleaning can be arranged.
Specialist commercial kitchen cleaning, including intensive exhaust, canopy, grease-trap and equipment degreasing, is different from routine restaurant cleaning. These services require separate specialist assessment and are not automatically included in an ACS restaurant cleaning contract.

- Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need to be at the restaurant while cleaning takes place?
Not necessarily. If cleaning is arranged outside trading hours, we can discuss access arrangements, keys, alarms and lock-up procedures before work begins. We’ll agree on how cleaners enter and secure your venue so you know what to expect.
Can restaurant cleaning be done after trading hours?
Yes, cleaning outside trading hours can be arranged depending on cleaner availability. We discuss options such as cleaning after closing or before opening to minimise disruption to your restaurant. Cleaning times, access arrangements and any evening or weekend requirements are confirmed before your contract begins.
How often should a restaurant be professionally cleaned?
The frequency depends on your trading hours, customer numbers, venue size and the cleaning your staff already handle. Busy dining areas and bathrooms may need attention every trading day, while other tasks can be scheduled less frequently. ACS works with you to agree on a cleaning schedule suited to your restaurant.
What areas does ACS clean in restaurants, cafés and bars?
ACS provides ongoing cleaning for restaurants, cafés, bars, bistros and other hospitality venues across Melbourne. Cleaning can include dining areas, seating, counters, bathrooms, entrances, floors and staff amenities. The exact tasks, frequency and any additional areas are agreed in your written cleaning scope.
What is the difference between restaurant cleaning and commercial kitchen cleaning?
Restaurant cleaning covers agreed areas such as dining rooms, bars, bathrooms, floors, entrances and staff spaces. Commercial kitchen cleaning may involve specialist equipment degreasing, exhaust systems, canopies and grease traps. These specialist tasks are not included in routine ACS restaurant cleaning. Kitchen cleaning responsibilities are discussed separately to avoid confusion about what is covered.
Will the same cleaners attend our restaurant every visit?
We aim to keep familiar cleaners attending your restaurant so they understand its layout, access arrangements and cleaning priorities. However, rosters can change due to leave or staff availability. The cleaning tasks and standards agreed in your contract remain the same regardless of who attends.
What happens if restaurant cleaning standards are not maintained?
If an agreed cleaning task is missed or you’re unhappy with the work, contact ACS and let us know. We’ll investigate the concern and organise a solution. Our founder, Hannah Kasay, remains personally involved in the business, so clients can contact her directly when an issue needs attention.
How quickly can ACS start cleaning our restaurant?
The start date depends on your restaurant’s location, cleaning requirements, agreed schedule and cleaner availability. Before work begins, we confirm the cleaning scope, access arrangements and any site-specific requirements. Once these details are agreed, ACS can discuss a suitable starting date for your venue.
Switching Restaurant Cleaning Providers
Unhappy with missed cleaning tasks or inconsistent service? ACS can help you switch cleaning providers without unnecessary disruption to your restaurant. We'll discuss your current cleaning concerns, venue requirements and trading hours before preparing a written proposal. Once the cleaning scope, access arrangements and schedule are agreed, we'll confirm a suitable start date based on cleaner availability.
