Janitorial services for delivery-only ghost and cloud kitchens: tight turnovers between shifts, clean packaging and pickup areas, cold storage, floors, drains and overnight work.
Printable checklist
Kitchens that run on delivery
Ghost kitchens cook for apps, not dining rooms. One building may host a dozen brands, each with its own rush, and orders leave through a pickup counter instead of a front door. Loom Janitorial keeps these delivery-only kitchens clean through constant turnover, so every brand starts on a clean line and every driver finds a tidy pickup point.
Your facility manager tours the site with us, covering kitchen units, shared corridors, packaging stations, cold storage, the pickup area and staff rooms, and we set the tasks and timing for each.
Ghost kitchens across the region
Delivery-only kitchens operate in San Jose, Hayward and Sacramento, in buildings large and small.
Sites like these put many operators under one roof, which makes the shared areas, from pickup counters to cold storage, the hardest spaces to keep consistent.
Fast turnovers between shifts
Shifts in a ghost kitchen run close together. Between them, crews clear prep surfaces, degrease fryer, range and griddle fronts, empty bins, and sweep and mop the line, so the next team starts without inheriting the last one’s mess.
When several brands share or rotate through a unit, turnovers follow a set order, so every brand gets the same reset. Crews also wipe the shelf labels and bin fronts each brand relies on to find ingredients quickly during a rush.
Packaging and pickup areas
Packaging stations move bags, containers, lids and labels for high order volume. Crews wipe counters and shelving, clear stray packaging and food debris, and empty trash before it overflows.
Driver pickup shelves, counters, order screens, door handles and the pickup lobby get wiped down, and crews keep the lobby floor clear of drips and dropped napkins. A clean pickup area keeps handoffs moving and protects how every brand looks to drivers and customers.
Trash, recycling and used oil
A delivery-only kitchen produces a steady stream of cardboard, food waste and used oil. Crews empty and wipe interior bins, break down and stack cardboard where your hauler collects it, mop around the grease-bin door and keep the path to the dumpster clear, so waste never backs up into the kitchen.
Handwashing sinks at every station are scrubbed and restocked with soap and towels, a small task that matters to every brand on the floor.
Cold storage, floors and drains
Walk-in and reach-in coolers are wiped inside and out, gaskets and handles cleaned and spills removed, with cooler floors scrubbed often because traffic through them never stops.
Floors beneath the cooklines are scrubbed with degreaser and drains cleared.
Overnight deep cleaning
Order volume drops overnight, and that is when deep work happens: machine-scrubbing floors, cleaning behind reachable equipment, and detailing the back corridor, trash route and grease-bin area.
Staff restrooms, break rooms and lockers are also cleaned and restocked overnight, so the morning crew starts in tidy support rooms.
Working around late-night and breakfast brands
Not every ghost kitchen goes quiet at the same hour. A late-night wings brand can still be frying at 1 a.m. while a breakfast concept starts prep before dawn in the next unit. We map each unit’s order hours and fit the deep work into the real gaps, cleaning dark units first and leaving the late cooks’ line until their final order goes out.
Shared corridors, the pickup lobby and the cold-storage hallway are handled while brands are still open, with wet-floor signs posted and floors mopped in sections so each one has time to dry before the next wave of drivers. Crews keep their carts and floor machines out of the order path, so a deep clean never slows a pickup.
Inspection readiness and cost
Inspectors treat ghost kitchens as food facilities, and the pickup lobby and packaging stations are the first things they see, so those stay on every visit along with floors, drains, cold storage and restrooms. Loom cleaners are background-checked, supervisors carry out quality inspections, and each operator receives a certificate of insurance.
Kitchens rented by the hour or by the booking follow our shared kitchen cleaning service. Ghost kitchen cost reflects the number of kitchen units and brands, turnovers per day, the size of the packaging and pickup areas, cold storage, grease load and overnight work, with a written quote after the walkthrough.
A few useful answers
Common questions
Can kitchens be turned over between the midday and evening rush?
Yes. A turnover resets prep surfaces, equipment fronts and floors so the evening team starts clean.
Do you clean the pickup shelves and driver lobby?
Yes. Shelves, counters, order screens, door handles and the lobby floor are cleaned every visit.
When does deep cleaning happen in a ghost kitchen?
Overnight, while order volume is low, covering floor scrubbing, the trash route and the areas behind equipment.
Can several brands share one kitchen unit’s cleaning?
Yes. Turnovers follow a set brand order, so every brand sharing the unit gets the same reset.
Can deep cleaning work around a brand that cooks late at night?
Yes. Dark units are cleaned first, and the late brand’s line gets its deep clean after the final order of the night.
