💩 Why it's ugly

It is spreadsheets, signs, angry parkers, and explaining QR codes to a committee. The asset is not yours, and somehow every cone still becomes your problem.

💰 Why it prints money

Churches, schools, and nonprofits often have underused lots near offices, hospitals, campuses, and event venues. You can revenue-share monthly or daily parking without owning land. The model works because the property has sunk costs and you bring operations, sales, signage, and enforcement.

🗺️ 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.
