💩 Why it's ugly

Hot oil does not spill politely. It spreads, stains, smells, and makes everyone walk like they are crossing a frozen lake.

💰 Why it prints money

Spills create immediate safety, insurance, and landlord problems. Emergency cleanup commands premium pricing because restaurants need the mess handled now, not next Tuesday.

🗺️ 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.
