Built for the way window cleaning actually works.

Window cleaning isn't general handyman work. You price per pane on residential, per hour on post-construction, run weekly storefront routes that pay the truck note, upsell hard-water restoration when you spot the mineral, and tack on gutters at the last stop because the ladder's already up. The free plan accounts for all of it.

Most "free" small-business software is a generic invoice template with a Stripe button bolted on. It works fine for a freelance designer and falls apart the moment a property manager wants 14 storefronts on weekly autopay, a Craftsman homeowner wants a per-pane quote with screens included, and a GC wants post-construction punch-list documentation by 5pm. Menutize was built around the four workflows below — the ones that actually decide whether a window cleaning shop has a steady year or just a busy spring.

Per-Pane and Per-Hour Pricing on the Same Estimate

A 28-pane Craftsman with French doors prices differently than a post-construction punch list, and your estimate should know that. Build line items per pane ($7 exterior + interior on standard, $11 on French and storm windows, $4 screen pull-and-clean) for residential, and per hour ($85/hr two-man crew) for post-construction. Mix them on a single estimate when the homeowner wants the routine cleaning plus a hard-water restoration. The customer sees the math line by line, taps to approve, and pays the deposit. Stop translating the same job into three different formats for three different software tools.

Recurring Biannual + Weekly Storefront Plans

Residential window cleaning is two-rounds-a-year work for the customers who get it. Spring and fall, $280 a round, charged automatically to the card on file the day before the visit. Commercial storefront is the same flow at higher cadence: weekly $35, monthly $140, charged like clockwork to the property manager's card or ACH. Menutize handles the schedule and the billing on autopilot, so you stop hand-chasing 60 spring renewals in March and you stop sending the strip-mall manager a reminder invoice every Tuesday. Most window cleaners on Menutize have 40%+ of revenue locked into recurring agreements within a year.

Estimate & Invoice Open-Tracking

A $480 whole-house quote sitting unread is a different problem than one the homeowner has opened twice but hasn't approved. Menutize logs the moment the customer opens the estimate email, the moment they view the live estimate page, and does the same on every invoice through to the moment they pay. You stop guessing whether the spouse has actually seen the quote, you stop chasing leads who already moved on, and your follow-up calls land on the right people at the right time. Most field-service tools gate this behind a paid tier; we ship it on the free plan because nothing else moves close rate as much.

Hard-Water Restoration & Gutter Add-On Upsells

The mineral spotting on the master bath glass is a $35-$80-per-window restoration sale, and the homeowner usually doesn't know it's something you fix. Same with gutters: the ladder's already up at the last stop, an extra 30 minutes is a $95-$175 add-on. Menutize lets you build these as opt-in line items on the original estimate, so the customer sees them at the moment they're approving the base job and one tap adds them in. Most operators see 1 in 4 residential customers add at least one upsell when it's presented at the estimate stage instead of pitched at the door.

Three Things Every Window Cleaner Wishes They Had

Most "free" software either nags you to upgrade or leaves out the features that actually move the needle. We made the three biggest ones core to the free plan.

Auto Google Reviews

The moment you mark a window cleaning job complete, the customer gets a one-tap review link by text. No copy-paste. No "I'll do it later." Most operators see their Google rating climb half a star in the first 60 days — and in residential window cleaning, the next homeowner two streets over picks you on the map pack ranking and the star count.

Included free, forever.

Tip Requests at Checkout

Customers see a 15/20/25% tip prompt right at payment — same flow they're used to from Square or DoorDash. Window cleaners on the free plan typically see 12-18% of residential invoices come back tipped, and post-construction tips skew bigger when the contractor is relieved the punch list is finally closing.

Included free, forever.

Google Calendar Two-Way Sync

Every booking lands in your real Google Calendar. Block time on your phone — Menutize sees it and won't let customers book over you. The free plans on most window cleaning CRMs don't include calendar sync. Ours does.

Included free, forever.

Why Window Cleaning Businesses Pick Menutize Over the $49/mo Platforms

The legacy field-service tools were built for 20-truck shops. You're a one-to-three truck operator running residential rounds and storefront routes. You don't need a dispatch board with seven-figure routing — you need invoicing that doesn't cost $588/year.

Feature $49/mo platform Menutize Free
CRM, estimates, invoicing Included Included — $0
Online card & ACH payments Standard processing Standard processing — no platform markup
Google review automation Often $20+/mo add-on Included free
Estimate & invoice open-tracking Higher tier only Included free
Tip collection Rarely supported Included free
Google Calendar two-way sync Higher tier only Included free
Recurring billing on card on file Higher tier only Included free
Per-seat fees $29-49 / user / mo $0
First-year cost (1 owner, 1 helper) ~$1,176 $0

Comparison reflects published pricing from common field-service platforms as of May 2026. Card-processing fees still apply on both sides; Menutize uses standard Stripe rates with no platform markup.

“We had 40 biannual residential customers I was hand-billing in March and September with a clipboard. Switched to Menutize free, set them all on recurring autopay, and the spring round just… happened. Open-tracking on estimates told me which $400 quotes were actually being read — my close rate jumped from like 35% to almost 60% because I was calling the right people at the right time. The auto Google review request took us from 4.5 to 4.8 in two months.”

Window Cleaning Software Questions, Answered

The ones operators actually ask before they sign up.

Is Menutize really free for window cleaners? What's the catch?
Yes, free forever. CRM, estimates, invoicing, online card and ACH payments, automated Google review requests, tip collection, estimate and invoice open-tracking, and two-way Google Calendar sync are all included on the free plan. The only thing you ever pay is standard payment processing on cards (~2.9% + 30¢, same as Stripe direct) and ACH (0.8%, capped at $5). No monthly fee, no per-seat fee, no credit card required to sign up.
Can I price by the pane and by the hour on the same estimate?
Yes. Build line items either way and mix them on a single estimate — for example $7/pane exterior + interior on a 28-pane Craftsman, plus $85/hr for screen pull-and-clean, plus a flat $120 hard-water restoration on the master bath. The customer sees the math, taps to approve, and pays the deposit. Most window cleaners settle into per-pane for residential and per-hour for post-construction; Menutize doesn't force you to pick one. Save your most common configurations as menu items and they auto-populate next time.
How do I bill biannual residential customers automatically?
Set the homeowner up on a recurring agreement — say, $280 twice a year for spring and fall exterior + interior — and Menutize charges the card on file on the renewal date, drops the visit on your Google Calendar, and texts the homeowner the week of. Spring and fall are when residential window cleaners make their year, so locking those rounds in on autopilot in January means you stop hand-chasing 60 customers in March. Most operators see their no-show and cancellation rate drop by half once the card is already authorized.
What about weekly or monthly commercial storefront routes?
Same recurring billing flow. Set a storefront on a weekly $35 or monthly $140 schedule, and Menutize charges the card or ACH on every cycle, generates the invoice, and reminds the manager nothing's about to bounce. Commercial route work is the predictable revenue base that pays the truck payment and the insurance; getting it on autopilot is the difference between a steady operation and one that lives off chasing one-time bookings. The strip-mall property manager who used to forget your invoice for three weeks is now on autopay and you stop calling.
Can I see when a customer opens an estimate or invoice?
Yes — Menutize logs every estimate email open, estimate page view, invoice email open, and invoice view, and notifies you the moment it happens. You stop guessing whether the homeowner has actually seen the $480 whole-house quote before you call to follow up. The estimate that's been viewed twice but unsigned is the one to call now. The estimate that hasn't been opened in 5 days is the one to re-send. Most field-service tools either don’t ship this or gate it behind a paid tier; we ship it free.
Does Menutize do route optimization?
No native route optimization — let's be honest about it. The Google Calendar shows your week's stops with addresses, and you decide the order based on geography. Most window cleaners know their own city well enough to cluster a half-mile radius better than any algorithm; the unit economics are 5+ stops in tight density per half-day, and that's a judgment call best made by the operator who knows which neighborhood has parking and which apartment block is a nightmare on Mondays. Drag visits around on the calendar to reorder. We make the rest of the day — estimates, invoicing, recurring billing, reviews — stop being a paperwork problem.
Can I upsell hard-water restoration and gutter cleaning at the end of the route?
Yes. Add hard-water mineral restoration ($35-$80 per affected window) and gutter add-on ($95-$175) as line items the customer can opt into when they accept the estimate. The same approve-and-pay flow that signs the base job also signs the upsells — no separate quote, no second phone call, no chasing a check. Most operators see 1 in 4 residential customers add at least one of these when they're presented at the estimate stage instead of pitched in person at the door. The mineral spotting on the master bath glass is a $35-$80 sale most homeowners didn't know was something you fix.
How do customers tip me through Menutize?
Tip prompts appear automatically on the payment screen — same 15/20/25% buttons customers are used to from Square and DoorDash. About 12-18% of residential window cleaning invoices come back tipped, usually $10-30 a pop, and post-construction tips skew bigger ($50-100 from a contractor who's relieved the punch list is closing). Tips route to whichever account the operator chooses, so the tech in the field actually keeps what the customer left. Most window cleaners are surprised how often the prompt nets a tip on a $180 residential job — the homeowner who used to mean to leave cash and forget now just taps 20%.
Does Menutize sync with my Google Calendar?
Yes — two-way sync, included in the free plan. New bookings on your Menutize page show up on your Google Calendar instantly, color-coded by service type if you want. Block time on your phone (kid's game, dentist, parts run, water-fed-pole repair drop-off) and Menutize won't let customers book over you. Move a job on the Google Calendar app and Menutize updates the customer's confirmation. Most free CRMs in this space lock calendar sync behind a $29/mo upgrade because they know it's the feature operators won't quit over. We don't.
Can I document a job with photos for liability?
Yes. Snap before/after shots from your phone and attach them to the customer record. Useful when you've cleaned a third-floor exterior and somebody calls back two weeks later claiming a streak — the date-stamped photo settles it. The same photo log helps post-construction work where the GC wants documented punch-list closure before they cut the final check. Two-story-plus residential jobs with insurance/liability concerns get the same treatment: a quick photo log proves the windows were intact when you finished, which is worth its weight in deductibles.
How does Menutize make money if it's free?
On the free plan, Menutize earns a small payments fee — about 0.5% on top of the standard processing rate when you take card or ACH payments through the system. There is no monthly fee, no per-seat fee, no upgrade nag. A window cleaning operation running $8,000/mo through Menutize pays us $40/mo on payments. The same shop on a $49/mo CRM pays $588/yr in fees plus the same processing rates — and that CRM doesn't include the review automation, tip prompts, calendar sync, or open-tracking. Operators on the free plan typically pay us less in a full year than two months of the $49/mo platforms.
Does it work for a solo window cleaner?
That's actually who Menutize is built for. The legacy field-service tools charge per seat ($29-$49 per user per month) and bury the features a one-truck operator needs under enterprise complexity. Menutize Free is unlimited users on the free plan, no per-seat fees, and the workflows are designed for the owner who's also the cleaner, the dispatcher, the bookkeeper, and the guy answering the phone at lunch. Add a helper later for the same $0. Outgrow it and we have paid tiers; most one-to-three truck shops never need to.
What happens to my customer data if I leave Menutize?
You own your data. Export your customer list, jobs, recurring agreement history, photos, and invoice records to CSV at any time, no upgrade required, no waiting period, no support ticket. We've never built clunky exports on purpose to lock people in — that's the kind of thing we built Menutize to get away from. Cancel any time and walk out with everything. The customer phone numbers and email addresses you imported are still yours; the recurring agreement schedule is still yours.
How long does setup take for a window cleaning business?
About 10-15 minutes to be ready to send your first estimate: sign up (no credit card), connect Stripe for payments, connect your Google Business Profile for the auto review request, hook up your Google Calendar, and add a service menu. Most window cleaning shops start with five menu items: residential exterior + interior (per pane), commercial storefront recurring (flat rate), post-construction cleanup (per hour), hard-water mineral restoration (per window), and gutter add-on. You can import your existing customer CSV later, or just let your customer list build naturally as new jobs come in.
