💩 Why it's ugly

It is not glamorous. You are moving bite molds, crowns, retainers, and little labeled cases between offices and labs while parking badly near medical buildings.

💰 Why it prints money

Dental labs and practices need reliable same-day routes, especially for rush cases and remakes. The packages are small, vehicle costs are modest, and recurring route density can make the margins attractive.

🗺️ 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.
