Ultimately, day porter services include whatever our customers need in order to make their facility run smoothly and look its best. Not everyone is familiar with how day porter services work. Essentially, day porters are tasked with helping you where you need help most. What would help your facility most? Whether it's setting up last minute for that unplanned meeting, or pitching in to help an employee change offices, your day porter will be there to help. We want our day porter staff to earn the trust of our clients beyond their day-to-day cleaning duties. Your Stathakis day porter is trained to interact with the people in your building on a professional level. Their very presence should make your staff feel better about the cleanliness and health of your facility.

A day porter handles ongoing upkeep during business hours, including lobby and entrance maintenance, restroom monitoring and restocking, common-area cleaning, trash removal, and spill response. The exact duties are built around the needs of each facility. Learn more about what a day porter service actually includes.
A day porter works during business hours, addressing issues in real time as they come up. The nighttime team handles the deeper, scheduled cleaning after the building empties out. The two roles are designed to work together, not duplicate each other.
Facilities with high foot traffic, public-facing lobbies, busy restrooms, or frequent daytime events tend to benefit most from a day porter. If issues come up faster than a nightly cleaning crew can address them, a day porter closes that gap.
Yes. A day porter's schedule and task list are built around what matters most for your facility, your traffic patterns, and your priorities. Stathakis works with each customer to define a schedule of duties before service begins.
Pricing depends on the hours of coverage needed, the scope of daily duties, and the size and traffic of the facility. Stathakis uses Open Book Pricing to review the line items of any proposed program with each customer.
The day porter and the evening team work from a shared set of priorities so nothing falls through the cracks between shifts. Clear communication between the two, managed through your janitorial provider, keeps coverage consistent around the clock.
Stathakis employees go through a formal screening process that includes criminal background checks and drug screening before placement. Because a day porter works closely with your staff throughout the day, this vetting is a standard part of how the role is filled.
Stathakis plans for coverage gaps by training backup staff on the specifics of each account, so your facility isn't left without support during an absence.

Create a contract and come up with a specific job description so the day porter knows exactly what is expected of them. The contract should also include a phrase like, “Will perform other reasonably assigned duties at the discretion of the customer.”
Only contract with maintenance companies that fully screen any employees entering your facility including comprehensive criminal background checks and drug tests. What does it take to become a Stathakis team member?
Avoid overwhelming the day porter with too many tasks from too many people. Prioritize those duties you feel are the most important for them to complete and decide who may and who may not assign them added duties. Emphasize good two-way communication so that the day porter knows what is expected of them.
We know our customers may be operating on tight budgets. Day porters are a cost-effective way to get more out of your normal cleaning services. They can be there to provide an extra set of hands and fill in any gaps you wouldn’t otherwise be able to manage on your own.
A positive, helpful attitude is crucial for a service-oriented position like a day porter, so we understand the importance of vetting, hiring and training reliable day porter staff for your business. We hope your day porter can become an extension of your regular staff, but we realize this isn’t always the case. If you run into any issues, or you don’t think the day porter is a good fit, don’t hesitate to contact us. We will help you manage any problems that may arise, ensuring you find someone who is a good fit and can keep you satisfied.
A day porter can be an excellent addition to your facility. If you think a day porter is what your facility needs to keep things running smoothly, contact Stathakis today so that we can help you design a custom day porter program tailored to your specific needs.
