What Biffs does

Biffs, Inc. is a family-owned portable sanitation company founded in 1986 by Michael Pauling and headquartered in Shakopee, Minnesota. The company rents portable restrooms, luxury restroom trailers, hand washing stations, temporary fencing, barricades, and accessories to construction, events, recreation, industrial, and emergency-services customers within a service territory spanning the 9-county Twin Cities Metro Area, out-state Minnesota, and Western Wisconsin. The product portfolio includes over 40 distinct rental SKUs across five categories: standard and specialty portable restrooms (including ADA, flushing, high-rise lift, mobile trailer-mounted, and baby-changing units), luxury trailers ranging from 10ft to 24ft with 2 to 10 stations, hand washing and sanitizer stations, temp fence and barricades, and accessories (lighting, containment pans, securement, heaters, waste-water pumping).

Biffs' core operational differentiator is a proprietary disinfecting system, claimed to be unique in the market, that disinfects every surface at every service and uses minimal water, supported by field-based quality assurance staff and a service protocol that includes fresh toilet paper, hand sanitizer, re-secured positioning, and service confirmation. The company operates same-day emergency delivery and 24/7 on-call service, and has executed large-scale enterprise deployments including the 2016 Ryder Cup.

The business operates a transactional rental model. Standard portable restrooms and hand-washing units are priced at $85–$260 per unit per week and sold primarily through an e-commerce website (biffsinc.com) with a self-service "Rent Now" flow for events of seven days or less; large events, long-term construction rentals, and luxury trailers are handled through a "Request a Quote" sales process. The company is privately held, family-owned, and debt-free from external investors, with a recent new headquarters build (2022) and a 2023 expansion into temporary fencing and barricades.
