A POS system designed for residential and commercial cleaning businesses in New York, helping operators manage jobs, recurring services, staff teams, and payments from a single dashboard.

## Problems We Solve

- **You Finished the Job Weeks Ago and Still Have Not Been Paid** — Corporate clients pay on their terms, not yours. Invoices sit unpaid, deposits were never recorded properly, and you are funding cleaning supplies and crew wages out of your own pocket while you wait for someone in accounts to approve a payment.
- **The Add-Ons That Make Real Money Get Forgotten** — Deep cleans, carpet shampoo, window work, and sanitisation are where the margin lives. But in the rush they get done as a "favour" and never make it onto the invoice — so you are giving away your most profitable work for free.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- Take deposits up front, send professional invoices the moment the job is done, and track every outstanding balance with automatic payment reminders to slow-paying clients. *Cash comes in on time instead of months later — you stop financing your clients out of your own pocket.*
- Prompt every job with one-tap add-ons — deep clean, carpets, windows, sanitisation — so the extra work your crew does always lands on the invoice. *You stop giving away your highest-margin services and your average job value climbs without chasing new clients.*

## How It Works

1. **Set Up Services, Contracts & Teams** — Add cleaning services, pricing rules, contracts, and staff teams.
2. **Clean & Get Paid** — Process jobs, add-ons, deposits, and invoices easily.
3. **Track Performance & Grow** — Use insights to improve efficiency and profitability.

- **Staff & Team Tracking** — Track jobs and revenue by cleaner or cleaning team.

## Running a Business in New York

New York sits in New York State and is the United States' largest city and commercial centre.

The United States has no national VAT: sales tax is set by state and local jurisdictions and New York City adds a local rate on top of the state rate, with category-level exemptions that mean certain clothing and grocery items are taxed differently from general merchandise. A till here must apply the correct combined rate and category rules rather than a single national percentage. Card and mobile wallet payment dominate, and tipping flows require dedicated handling in hospitality.

The city adds a local rate on top of the state rate, with category-level exemptions that tax certain clothing and grocery lines differently from general merchandise. The binding constraint is applying the correct combined rate and category rules per item, plus tip handling in hospitality.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **What currency and payment methods does EliteTeQ POS support in New York?** EliteTeQ POS prices in USD ($) and records Apple Pay, card and cash against the same sale, so cleaning services businesses in New York close the day on one set of reconciled totals instead of three. Tax invoices are produced to IRS requirements, and the till keeps working when the connection drops.
- **Is EliteTeQ POS suitable for cleaning services businesses in New York?** Yes. New York sits in New York State, and a POS here has to apply the combined state and city sales tax with category exemptions, and handle tips. EliteTeQ POS is built for exactly that — USD pricing, Apple Pay recorded against each sale, IRS-ready tax invoicing, and full offline operation so trading continues when power or network does not.
- **Does it support invoicing for corporate clients?** Absolutely. Invoices, deposits, and balance tracking are built in.
- **Can the POS handle recurring cleaning services?** Yes. Weekly, monthly, and contract-based cleaning services are fully supported.
- **Can I track cleaners and teams?** Yes. Jobs and revenue can be tracked by individual cleaner or team.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We know what it costs to clean for free.** We have stood in a "standard clean" that turned out to be a month of someone else's mess, and watched a crew run hours over with nobody recording it. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to real cleaning businesses in Nairobi, the ones funding supplies out of pocket while a corporate client sits on an invoice.
