## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-15 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The honest framing first
> 
> Office cleaning is a local service with national logos on it. Jan-Pro, Coverall, Jani-King, Stratus, and ServiceMaster Clean are all **franchise systems** - the corporate brand sells you the contract, but the crew that shows up at 7pm is a local franchisee who bought a territory. Quality varies enormously between franchisees of the *same* brand in the same metro. So the brand narrows your risk; it doesn't determine your outcome. Treat these as a shortlist to bid, not a ranking to pick from blindly.
> 
> Here's who I'd actually call, by situation:
> 
> **1. ABM Industries - if you have real square footage (50k+ sq ft, or multiple sites)**
> Not a franchise. Directly employed and managed workforce, ~$8.1B revenue, 4B+ sq ft serviced daily across ~3,000 locations. This is the single biggest quality difference on the list: you get one accountable corporate entity with a real account manager, SLAs, and insurance depth, rather than a franchisee who might sell the route next year. Overkill and overpriced for a 5,000 sq ft suite.
> 
> **2. ServiceMaster Clean - best default franchise for a single mid-size office**
> 60+ years, 800+ locations, and their "Capture & Removal" syst
