Overview
Bar-B-Clean specializes in offering barbecue cleaning, service, parts, and repairs, as well as new grill sales. Their mission is to promote a healthy, family-oriented lifestyle to clients while pioneering and leading the untapped barbecue cleaning industry.
Operating as a mobile home service business, Bar-B-Clean provides a service that customers desire but prefer not to do themselves, much like window cleaning or carpet cleaning. The target customer base includes anyone with a backyard barbecue, and Bar-B-Clean emphasizes the importance of professionally cleaning grills every six months to eliminate cancer-causing carcinogens left behind by old food and rat droppings, which pose health risks.
In addition to residential customers, Bar-B-Clean also capitalizes on business-to-business opportunities, serving HOAs, apartment complexes, office buildings, hotels, and Airbnb properties.
With a focus on the middle to upper-class demographic, Bar-B-Clean distinguishes itself from mom-and-pop competitors through its proprietary steam cleaning system and custom Stainless-Steel Polish, which establishes instant credibility and brand awareness. A proprietary CRM system ensures that customers receive appointment reminders and professional invoices, while also helping franchisees stay organized and efficient in managing their operations.
