The problem
Of visitors think twice after a bad restroom
Restroom quality is the #1 factor in negative mall experiences after parking. 84% say an unclean restroom damages a business's image. 94% would avoid a business entirely.
Bradley Corporation Handwashing Survey (2025); Cintas (2021)
Of downtime when replacing a retail tenant
Store tenants pay rent based on foot traffic and mall quality. When common areas deteriorate, tenants renegotiate or leave — and each vacancy means at least 7 months of lost rent plus TI and leasing costs.
ICSC (International Council of Shopping Centers)
Public restrooms meet cleanliness expectations
During peak hours, time-based 2-hour cleaning cycles can't keep up. High-traffic restrooms need cleaning every hour to maintain acceptable standards — but without condition data, you're guessing.

Vendor SLAs live in contracts — not in dashboards
Cleaning, waste management, landscaping — each contractor has SLA targets in their agreement. But nobody tracks actual performance in real time. Issues surface as tenant complaints, not data.

The solution
QR codes in restrooms, food courts, and common areas. When a visitor reports a problem, custodial staff respond immediately — not on a 2-hour schedule. Condition-based instead of time-based.
Track cleanliness issue frequency by area, time of day, and day of week. When your cleaning vendor pushes back, you have timestamped evidence showing exactly when and where issues occur relative to their cleaning schedule.
SLA metrics, response times, and vendor performance reports feed directly into CAM reconciliation conversations and tenant satisfaction documentation.
How it works
QR stickers in restrooms, food court, parking garage, elevators, common area seating. Works in 11 languages for diverse visitor populations.
Retail-specific issue types: restroom cleanliness, soap/paper empty, spill/hazard, escalator/elevator, lighting, temperature. Add a photo.
Issues route to the custodial team on duty. Escalation ensures supervisors are notified if no response within your threshold.
Condition-based response replaces time-based rounds. Vendor performance data builds over time for contract reviews and CAM accountability.
Built-in features
Pre-configured for restrooms, food court, parking, elevators/escalators, common area seating, service corridors. Retail-specific issue types.
Response time analytics for asset management reviews. Track restroom response times during peak vs. off-peak.
Unacknowledged restroom issues auto-escalate from custodian to supervisor. No visitor complaint goes unnoticed.
200 visitors report the same broken escalator. One task, "200 visitors reported this" counter — impossible to ignore.
Route to day crew or night crew based on mall operating hours. Different teams for tenant hours vs. after-hours maintenance.
Vendor performance reports, CAM documentation, and facility condition evidence for tenant and ownership meetings.

Think twice after a bad restroom (Bradley)
Vacancy downtime per lost tenant (ICSC)
Model: a regional mall with 15,000 daily visitors that shifts from 2-hour cleaning rounds to condition-based response can address the "dirty restroom" experience that makes 75% of visitors think twice about returning (Bradley 2025) — protecting foot traffic, tenant satisfaction, and lease renewals. Projected value: $5,000–20,000/month against a $499–900/month subscription.
