STR Regulations with Revnest

Helping With The Trashy Side STRs - Can Monkey
Q: How do you find your can runners?
We realized that gig economy workers, like those in Uber and Grubhub, would be ideal candidates for our can runners. We began to focus our recruitment efforts on individuals who already have flexible schedules and want extra income.
Helping With The Trashy Side STRs - Can Monkey
Q: What was the driving force behind creating the app for Can Monkey?
It became clear we needed technology to streamline our operations after realizing how difficult it was to manage everything with Excel files and manual processes. When we brought on our COO, he helped us build the app, which automates the logistical details of trash pickup.
Helping With The Trashy Side STRs - Can Monkey
Q: What were some of the challenges you faced when first starting Can Monkey?
Initially, I thought it was a silly idea and was skeptical about the pricing and business model. We discovered that short-term rentals have more potential clients than homeowners. The first challenge was getting the sales process right for homeowners, as they needed more education and understanding of the service.
