What Affects the Price?
The cost of restaurant cleaning in Melbourne is driven by three main variables: kitchen intensity (what cooking equipment you run and how much grease it generates), dining room size and floor type, and your trading hours. A charcoal grill restaurant that closes at midnight costs significantly more to clean than a pasta restaurant that closes at 10pm — understanding this helps you evaluate whether a quote you've received is fair.
How to Get an Accurate Quote
Restaurant cleaning pricing can't be done accurately over the phone — the cost difference between a 60-cover bistro with a simple gas range and a 120-cover restaurant with a full charcoal grill, wok burners, and a rangehood system can be 3x the kitchen cleaning cost alone. Golden Star visits your restaurant within 24 hours of your call, inspects every zone — dining room, kitchen, bathrooms, and outdoor areas — and provides a written fixed-price quote with no post-service adjustments.
Online or phone estimates are available as a starting point — call 0484 042 336 with your approximate floor area, venue type, and frequency requirements and our team can provide a preliminary estimate before the site visit.

Restaurant Cleaning Cost Melbourne — FAQ
A commercial kitchen nightly close clean (surfaces, floors, equipment wipe-down) typically costs $180–$320 per night. A weekly professional deep clean (equipment disassembly and degreasing, splashback scrub, floor deep scrub) costs $280–$480 per session. Total monthly kitchen cleaning cost for a nightly + weekly deep program is typically $4,000–$7,500 depending on kitchen size and intensity.
Yes — Golden Star's restaurant cleaning programs include signed FSANZ cleaning documentation (zone-by-zone completion records for food premises inspection purposes) as standard. There is no additional charge for the documentation — it is part of the professional cleaning service provided to all food business clients.
Post-close cleans that start after midnight in Melbourne attract a late-night rate reflecting the penalty rates applicable under cleaning industry awards. The additional cost is typically $15–$40 per visit compared to a clean starting at 11pm or earlier. For restaurants that close at 1am or later, this is unavoidable. Golden Star includes late-night rates transparently in the site-visit quote.
A full-service restaurant program includes: dining room (tables, chairs, floors, windows, bar), bathrooms (full sanitise, restock), commercial kitchen (nightly surfaces and floors, weekly equipment deep clean), and periodic programs (quarterly exhaust filter, bi-annual carpet extraction). Everything is included under a single program — you deal with one contractor for all cleaning across the restaurant.
