💩 Why it's ugly

You are coordinating toilets, rigging, construction schedules, and jobsite superintendents who needed it yesterday. The unit may be airborne, but the work remains extremely grounded.

💰 Why it prints money

High-rise construction, bridge work, rooftops, and restricted-access sites need restrooms placed where standard trucks cannot go. Specialized coordination, safety requirements, and fewer competitors support premium delivery, pickup, and relocation fees.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
