don't understand why they would pay $100/hour to have floors cleaned when restaurants pay employees $15/hour or close to minimum wage for low-skilled work. is cleaning floors so difficult that it necessitates a specialist who charges $100/hour?

Because of laws stating you have to professionally steam clean kitchens/floors at X intervals, this guy probably is doing a few dozen restaurants per month on a weekly basis not the same one every night.

Normal non grease/kitchen specialist cleaning is ten cents per sq.ft per month or so for cleaners so even cheaper than having your own employees do it, with liability protection.

How often do you think the floors get cleaned?

How much equipment or tools do you think the average linecook brings to work? How much do they pay to maintain it?
