This is the perfect side hustle that will turn into a full-time business.
By full time I mean May to September. That's your super crazy busy time, but you are making your years' worth of money in that short period of time.
No experience is needed.
You will be trained for everything you need to know. This is a physical business. You will need to carry products in a timely matter. Install the tables, bars and other event items. Everything is built and dismantled on site. Making it easier to store and transport.
We are a family business.
My son and both my daughter grew up in the business and started at the age of 14. Its physical but not hard. Over the years I have had lots of young women and men work for me. Most are girls I have coached looking for the there first job. And my wife started because it’s a better work out then yoga. LOL
What will you need
The only things you will need is a few hand tools, storage space, and a truck and a trailer. Or the ability to rent a trailer.
Requirements
You must maintain a 100% install rate. Our business has grown from nothing. No real advertising. Solely from word of mouth. Event organizers in the industry recommending us to other event organizers. So much so I get requests from all over the country. That's why we are expanding to all major cities across the country.
The details
Once an order is placed online, and the order has been confirmed the order will be forward to the closest franchise owner. Normally orders are placed and confirmed one to six months in advance. Giving us time to book multiple events per weekend. And not over booking. Most deliveries are done on Fridays, and most pick ups are done on Monday. But that depends on the clients’ needs and timelines.
The Install.
For example. I just did two events last week. 12 bars to one client and 8 picnic tables plus 10 benches to another customer. These two installs were done on the same day. We load up and installed the first event, then loaded up and installed the second event. Roughly 15 KLMs apart. Total time for two of us was about 5 hours. Costs was labour, and I rented a 10' U-Haul trailer for $40. The picks up was done by me and took roughly about 3 hours. Pick up are easier than deliveries.
The Money
The first delivery cost the client $1200 plus tax and the second delivery cost $1060 plus tax. Total of $2260 less 15% license fee. You will receive a total of $1920.70
