Portable Toilet Service face unique challenges: I'm renting physical units, so I have to know exactly which numbered unit is at which jobsite and when each one is due for a weekly service. Construction sites move the unit without telling me, or a unit walks off entirely, and reconciling my inventory against what's actually deployed is constant. Events need ten units delivered Friday and gone Sunday on a hard deadline, and a missed pickup means the venue charges me for an extra day. The service is a route problem: weekly cleans, swaps, and the freshwater fill all have to fit one truck's capacity before I have to drive to the dump station. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median Portable Toilet Service Operator earns $55,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

I'm half service tech and half logistics, because I'm not selling a job, I'm renting physical objects that have to be in the right place and pumped on a schedule. The day is a route: weekly cleans on construction sites, an event delivery, and a couple of swaps where a unit got too beat to keep in service. My truck holds only so much waste and freshwater, so the route is built around when I have to drive to the dump station, same as a septic truck. The recurring headache is inventory: I have forty units in the field, each one numbered, and construction crews move them around the site or load them onto a different truck without telling me, so I'm forever reconciling which unit is actually where. Events are the deadline jobs, ten units there by Friday noon and gone by Sunday night, because the venue starts charging me a day's rent the moment I'm late on pickup. At each stop I pump, rinse, drop a fresh blue deodorizer charge, restock paper, and note the unit number serviced. Billing follows the rental clock, not the visit, so I track delivery and pickup dates per unit. The whole business lives or dies on knowing where every unit is and when it's due.
