💩 Why it's ugly

This is bureaucracy soaked in kitchen fat. You are not cleaning the grease as much as documenting its crimes for the city.

💰 Why it prints money

Restaurants face fines, failed inspections, and sewer problems when FOG records are missing. A low-cost monthly compliance service creates recurring revenue with light equipment and high trust.

🗺️ 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.
