Veteran Franchising Center

OpenWorks cleaning franchise business model is unique because it takes a comprehensive approach to helping franchisees meet the challenges of operating their businesses. Specifically, with an OpenWorks franchise you can expect:

• A Franchise system that is catered towards growth oriented entrepreneurs – Franchises are only award to qualified individuals who are serious about building their business and not just looking for a part-time opportunity.
• Focus on larger customers – OpenWorks focuses its sales efforts on larger accounts (over $1,000 a month in billing). By eliminating the smaller accounts, OpenWorks dramatically reduces the operational expenses and quality control issues that plague other franchisors.
• Full service training and continuing education – OpenWorks takes training and education very seriously because we believe that it results in superior, personalized service, which is what we’re all about and what our customers expect.
• Training: All franchisees are required to complete an initial training program that covers all facets of commercial cleaning, safety, supervision and chemical/equipment usage. This also includes basic managerial and business training as well as all aspects of floor care and facility maintenance.
• Education: Through an integrated advanced training program in management, customer service, recruiting, supervision and safety, an OpenWorks franchisee becomes a full-fledged facility services contractor.
• Emphasis on technology and efficiency- OpenWorks uses its own proprietary management information systems designed to drive administrative efficiency. It also provides customers the ability to view their facilities service records, billing and work orders online via the customer extranet. We also thrive on using technology and strategic partnerships to improve ways our franchisees deliver services to the customers. In a cost conscious industry, every process that delivers labor efficiency becomes a competitive advantage.
• Green Cleaning – We provide our customers with a variety of “Green” solutions helping them achieve their environmental goals.

With more than 1,500 clients in over 30-million square feet of office space, OpenWorks is a leading commercial cleaning company that from its very origins has relied on its entrepreneurial, “can-do” spirit to become an innovator in the commercial cleaning industry. Helping our franchisees achieve their dreams.

“I was able to rely on OpenWorks to supply me with customers from the get-go. This has been a huge help because it has kept me from being distracted by any direct sale efforts. So, my time is spent on the business, not on looking for customers.”

“I’ve been in the business for fifteen years. I know it inside and out. Ironically, I wasn’t able to see significant growth until I used OpenWorks’ systems and business philosophy. They focused on my business objectives — which is something I wasn’t able to do on my own.”
