Nightly crews leave the building reset, yet a busy one shows wear well before the workday ends. Restrooms run short on paper, the kitchen fills up, entrances pick up mud and winter salt, and spills land where everyone can see them. Covering that part of the day is the porter's whole job.
Porters suit hospitals and medical buildings, schools, offices shared by several tenants, retail centers and anywhere else with steady foot traffic. Coverage might run all day, just through the lunch hours or only on the building's busiest days.

Read this as a first draft. After walking the floors and hearing how the building gets used, the provider adjusts it.
