How do you split customer tips between technicians?
A few months ago, I was talking to a field service business owner who collected customer tips through Jobber. The tips weren't the problem. Payroll was. Every pay period, someone had to figure out: Which technicians worked the job Whether the tip should be split How much each person should get Whether any 1099 contractors were involved Then manually enter everything into payroll At first, I thought, "Surely this is already automated." It wasn't. The more owners, office managers, and bookkeepers I talked to, the more spreadsheets I saw. That's what led me to start building CrewSplit. The goal is simple: automatically allocate customer tips from Jobber jobs and sync them into Gusto payroll for both employees and contractors. We're still early, but the site is now live and we're putting together an early access group. I'm curious—how are you handling customer tips today? CrewSplit
How do you grow a solo-property cleanup business into an organized regional operation?
Hi everyone — I’m Jeff with WV Quick Cleanup in Southern West Virginia. We provide junk removal, cleanouts, hauling, light demolition support, construction debris removal, carpet removal, moving labor, and property cleanup for homeowners, landlords, property managers, estates, contractors, and local businesses. Right now I’m working on growing from mostly owner-operated cleanup work into a more organized regional property cleanup company with better equipment, safer systems, clearer estimates, photo documentation, and eventually trained local help. I’m especially interested in learning how other service businesses manage scheduling, quoting, hiring, repeat customers, and staying organized as the work grows. Looking forward to learning from everyone here.
How to get more customers for a new junk removal business?
Hello! I just started a junk removal business last week and have had 3 jobs 2 of which are pending waiting for customers response. How do I get more traffic to my Facebook page?

Non-profit thrift store drunk removal
We collect donations in Massachusetts. We mainly get a call from a friend or neighbor that says they have some items that we will come and pick up. We like to advertise reusable junk removal as a service. Any pointers on how to teach out to companies that have already collected junk that we want to check for reusable items like clothes and working household appliances?
