I try to estimate the hours it will take to clean and charge based on my hourly rate. So from what you detailed here I'd guess 2-3 hours to clean depending on what the kitchen is like. I'd charge $100 - $150 ($50 per hour) so tops that would be $450 per week. About $1800 a month. Then add a little extra for your materials for the month.

Just a few things .
1. Paper products ...... Including garbage bags ??
2. " Normal Business hours " ??? Better call your insurance broker and find out if you're covered to clean while people are in the building . Not thinking the insurance is going to like that .
3. Logistics . With people in the building you have a nightmare . People are going to vacate an office while your person cleans ??
4. Parish-supply.com has the ISSA numbers for cleaning . Just type ISSA in the search box .
Hope it helps .
All the Best, Ed

Ooh, I missed the part about normal business hours. Add an extra hour to your cleaning time. You'll lose time trying to work around people.

I'd make sure all proper signage is provided (wet floor, restroom closed for cleaning). If you're insured for janitorial then you should be good to work weather the facility is occupied or not while you clean, but if its occupied you MUST have signage. Check the regulations for sign placement for wet floor signs too. Some people think one in the doorway is all they need, and depending on the size and layout of the room, it aint enough.
