Day Porter
On-site presence so the leaky urinal gets caught Tuesday — not in the Friday 4:55pm complaint email from the tenant whose meeting it ruined.
What goes wrong when it's half-done.
A day porter is the difference between a building that runs on someone's attention and a building that runs on complaints. The visible work is restroom checks and a clean lobby. The invisible work is catching the leaky urinal on Tuesday so you don't get the email Friday at 4:55 from the tenant whose meeting it ruined.
Four operational principles, written into the route plan.
Uniformed porter on-site during your defined hours
Restroom checks logged at fixed intervals
Common-area resets between meetings, lunch, end-of-day
Direct radio or text line to your front desk
What's included
- Hourly restroom checks with logged time and initials
- Lobby and entry glass touch-ups
- Conference-room resets
- Trash sweeps in common areas
- Spill response
- Light handyman and supply runs by request
What's not included
We name the line items we won't quietly run past you.
- Full evening cleaning scope (separate)
- Security duties
- Receptionist duties
- Tasks outside the agreed scope without a written change order
Specific tools. Documented chemistry. Operator credibility through specificity.
Equipment
- Site-issued radios paired to your front desk and security
- Restroom-check log on a company tablet — time-stamped, shared with you in real time
- Color-coded microfiber kits keyed to zone (lobby ≠ restroom ≠ kitchen)
- Spill-response cart staged where it makes sense for your floor plan, not in a basement closet
When to add this to a recurring program
Cadence options we run for Day Porter: 4 hours/day, 6 hours/day, 8 hours/day, Custom. We'll sequence it inside your existing program so the building doesn't see a second crew.
