Your Crew Is Driving Past Jobs They Could Be Cleaning
For cleaning business owners who schedule jobs by availability without thinking about geography — and then wonder why their labor costs are running above 50%. Recurring Routes groups your weekly jobs into optimized crew routes that minimize drive time and maximize billable hours.
What every cleaning business owner already knows.
Monday: Crew A drives from downtown to the north side, back downtown, then out to the suburbs. Tuesday: same crew does it in a different, equally inefficient order. You didn’t plan it this way — you just booked jobs as they came in and assigned whoever was available.
The result is a crew spending 2–3 hours per day in transit between jobs. At $18/hour for two cleaners, that’s $72–$108 in paid time where no cleaning is happening and no revenue is being earned. In a 5-day week, that’s $360–$540 in pure drive-time cost — every week, for every crew.
Recurring Routes, built cleaning-native.
Recurring Routes lets you build master weekly route templates for each crew — organized by geography and service frequency. Biweekly clients in the same neighborhood get grouped on the same day. Weekly clients in another zone get their own optimized sequence. The system calculates the most efficient job order using Google Maps routing and shows you the time and mileage savings versus your current schedule.
When a job is added, moved, or cancelled, Recurring Routes shows the impact on the master template and suggests where the new job fits best — without breaking the efficiency of the rest of the route.
Every feature in one place.
The business impact, in dollars.
Route efficiency is one of the fastest levers a cleaning business owner has to improve profitability without raising prices. A crew running at 75% billable-time utilization versus 60% earns the same wage but generates 25% more revenue. For a two-person crew earning $18/hour, that efficiency gap is worth **$288/week in additional billing capacity** — without adding a single new client.
