GroundCut

About the startup

Get booked while you're cutting grass. Customers self-quote on satellite, pay at booking, and land on your schedule — no calls, no callbacks, no chasing. Big or unusual jobs route to a separate in-person quote flow so the instant-quote flow never has to handle what it shouldn't. ✓ Customers draw their lawn on Mapbox satellite for an instant quote ✓ Branded booking page on subdomain or your custom domain ✓ Full payment at booking via Stripe Connect — Stripe's 2.9% + 30¢, 0% GroundCut fee on top ✓ 4-tier service zones — accept inside, add a fee mid-range, high-value-only at the edge, reject beyond ✓ In-person quote flow for big or unusual jobs (commercial, multi-acre, brush) with deposit invoice through the same Stripe pipe ✓ Customer self-service portal — track, reschedule, cancel, and pay invoices without contacting you ✓ Booking confirmations + 22 event-driven SMS/email notifications with custom templates Run the day from your phone. Your crew opens an app, sees the queue, taps through statuses, and snaps photos. The office sees everything on the same data, in real time, with role-appropriate access — no paper, no group texts, no "where am I supposed to be?" ✓ Crew mobile app installs to home screen — no App Store, no Play Store ✓ One-tap arrived → in progress → complete with auto-fired notifications ✓ Before/after photo capture per job ✓ On-site price adjust with customer signature for increases ✓ Route optimization via Mapbox Directions ✓ Per-job profitability — final price minus fuel, labor, and equipment cost on every job ✓ Role-based access — owner, admin, office (read-only), and crew (assigned jobs only) Recurring revenue on autopilot.
