QCC — Quality Commercial Cleaning

Hospitality industry · brand-aligned · event-ready

Hotel, restaurant and venue cleaning — brand-aligned, audit-ready.

Hospitality cleaning operates at the public-area presentation level — lobbies, corridors, F&B, function spaces, BOH service corridors, gym and pool surrounds, restrooms. NOT guestroom turnover. The regime that works for hospitality facility managers reflects this scope split: tight presentation discipline for public areas, AS 4674 food-grade discipline in F&B zones, brand-aligned protocols for branded properties, surge-crew capability for peak events.

§02 · Who's on the hospitality buying committee

Three readers. Three brand frames.

Hospitality contracts are rarely signed by one person. The GM owns the brand standard, the F&B operator owns the kitchen-grade discipline, the event team owns the surge. Each reader brings a separate test the response has to pass.

§04 · AS 4674 food-grade + brand-spec alignment + scope split

The standards we operate against.

Three layered controls — AS 4674 discipline in F&B, brand-specification alignment per property, and a documented scope split between QCC and housekeeping.

  1. Standard · 01

    Official scope

    AS 4674 · food-grade discipline in F&B

    AS 4674 (Design, construction and fit-out of food premises) is the Australian Standard for food-premises hygiene. F&B areas in hotels — restaurants, bars, cafés, function kitchens, F&B BOH — operate under it. QCC's F&B cleaning standards reflect AS 4674 in chemistry, equipment, and cadence.

    How QCC operationalises it

    Translated into daily practice:

    • 01

      Food-grade chemistry only — Diversey-supplied food-safe products

    • 02

      Colour-coded equipment — blue cloths and mops dedicated to F&B zones, never used elsewhere

    • 03

      Surface sanitisation between services — bar tops, table surfaces, food-prep surfaces

    • 04

      Cool-room and freezer-area cleaning on documented cadence

    • 05

      Floor cleaning to grease-management standards · HACCP-aligned where the site operates HACCP

  2. Standard · 02

    Official scope

    Brand-spec alignment · Marriott · Accor · Hilton · IHG

    Branded hotels operate to brand-specific cleaning specifications. QCC works to brand specifications without claiming partnerships QCC doesn't hold. The contractual relationship is with the property operator, not the brand head office.

    How QCC operationalises it

    Translated into daily practice:

    • 01

      Marriott-portfolio · brand cleaning specs applied where the property's operations team provides them

    • 02

      Accor-portfolio · same approach

    • 03

      Hilton-portfolio · same

    • 04

      IHG-portfolio · same

    • 05

      Independents and boutiques · operator's own brand specifications, often more idiosyncratic

  3. Standard · 03

    Official scope

    Scope split · public + F&B + function · NOT guestroom

    QCC owns public areas, F&B, function spaces, BOH service corridors, periodic deep cleans, and 24/7 emergency response. Guestroom turnover is housekeeping's scope — typically the hotel's own team or a specialist housekeeping provider. The split is documented in the contract on day one.

    How QCC operationalises it

    Translated into daily practice:

    • 01

      Lobbies, corridors, lifts, restrooms, gym and pool surrounds — QCC scope

    • 02

      F&B zones — restaurant floors, bar areas, café spaces, function kitchens, BOH F&B service corridors

    • 03

      Function spaces — meeting rooms, conference rooms, ballrooms, breakout rooms

    • 04

      Periodic deep cleans — carpet shampoo, hard-floor strip and seal, full-glazing window cleaning

    • 05

      NOT in scope · guestroom turnover, linen handling, staff dining-room operation

§08 · DOSSIER · FAQ · HOSPITALITY

Questions hospitality buyers ask first.

Answers prepared for procurement teams, audit boards, and facility decision-makers.

  • Q · 01

    Do you do guestroom turnover?

    No. That's housekeeping — typically the hotel's own team or a specialist housekeeping provider. QCC focuses on public-area, F&B, function-space, and BOH cleaning around the guestroom operation. The scope split is documented in the contract on day one.

  • Q · 02

    Can you align to my hotel's brand standard (Marriott, Accor, Hilton, IHG)?

    Yes. Brand-specific cleaning specifications are documented at onboarding and locked into the Field Operations Manual. We work to brand specifications without claiming partnerships QCC doesn't hold — the contractual relationship is with the property operator, not the brand head office.

  • Q · 03

    How is F&B-area cleaning different from regular cleaning?

    F&B areas operate under AS 4674 (Design, construction and fit-out of food premises). Food-grade chemistry, colour-coded equipment dedicated to food zones (blue cloths and mops only), documented surface-sanitisation cadence, allergen-zone awareness, HACCP-aligned where the site operates HACCP.

  • Q · 04

    Do you provide surge crews for events?

    Yes. For known peaks (conferences, weddings, sports nights, gala dinners), surge schedules are locked in 4–6 weeks ahead of the event. Crew positioned, equipment deployed. For 24/7 incidents during events, the helpdesk dispatches surge support inside the published SLA.

  • Q · 05

    Are your hospitality cleaners trained on guest-presence protocols?

    Yes — be unobtrusive, work fast, never look rushed. Brand-specific guest-presence rules (uniform, badge, communication tone, how to handle guest interactions) layered on top of the QCC standard.

  • Q · 06

    Can you handle a hotel + venue + function space under one contract?

    Yes — that's most of our larger hospitality work. One account manager, one Boomerang portal, unified reporting across all sites under the master agreement.

  • Q · 07

    Are you ISO certified for hospitality work?

    Yes. Three current ISO certifications: ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management), AS/NZS ISO 45001:2018 (Health & Safety), AS/NZS ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management). Certifi International audited annually. Certificates available on request.

  • Q · 08

    Do you cover public-area cleaning between events?

    Yes. Restroom presentation cycles, lobby cleaning, corridor maintenance, lift interior cleans, gym and pool surrounds — multiple times per day in premium properties depending on guest volume.

  • Q · 09

    What's the difference between back-of-house and front-of-house cleaning?

    Front-of-house is everything guests see — lobby, corridor, F&B, function space. Back-of-house is staff-only — service corridors, back lifts, service rooms, staff bathrooms. Both are part of QCC's standard scope; standards differ (front presentation-led, BOH hygiene-led).

  • Q · 10

    Are hospitality cleaners insured?

    Yes. QCC carries public liability ($20m+), workers' compensation, professional indemnity, property damage cover. Certificates of Currency available on request.
