  • Line Cleaning Business

    I was employed as a line cleaner by a local distributor but was recently laid off. Since then I have attained the equipment necessary to start my own business doing this service. The market is as follows:

    The Budweiser distributor routinely performs this service for its clients. Coors performs this service once in a blue moon, literally. And Miller just doesn't do it at all.

    I am looking into acquiring business from Coors and Miller, or maybe even the local bars and restaurants. I am uncertain of how to charge for this service and how to present this service to prospective clients.

    Any advice is GREATLY appreciated.

    One of the most important things is to know the regulations of the state that you are in. Every state has different regulations that are defined and enforced by the state agency that oversees the sales, distribution and manufacturing of alcoholic beverages. Some states mandate that only the distributor can clean the lines, other states require only the retailer to clean their lines; some states have no regulations at all.

    How you market or sell your service to the retailer (or distributor) depends on what the regulations are. Once you know that, I can perhaps provide you with some additional ideas.

      It's been a while since I checked with the ABC board, but from what I can recall, there are no regulations.

          Charge by the line. Like ~$7.00/Line.

            Another common way to charge is to have a flat fee per account, and then as jrdamas mentioned above, charge and additional fee per line. About $10.00 per account and ~ $7.00 per handle is common.
