💩 Why it's ugly

It sounds cleaner than toilets, until you service gray water after a weekend food festival. Soap disappears, paper towels multiply, and everyone blames the sink for human behavior.

💰 Why it prints money

Food vendors, farms, schools, events, construction sites, and public gatherings often need handwashing access. Units are cheaper than toilets, easy to bundle, and boost average order value on sanitation routes.

🗺️ 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.
