The Problem

Most pet waste companies use SweepAndGo at $99/seat per scooper. Each scooper handles ~150 customers at $100/month MRR = $15,000/month revenue per scooper - paying $99 for software while the software company scales at zero marginal cost.

Industry pays scoopers $15-20/hr. Scooping generates ~$100/hr gross. The gap goes to overhead - manual scheduling, billing, customer communication, routing - all done with spreadsheets and personal cell phones.

The opportunity: Build the SaaS replacement yourself. Use AI agents to handle the overhead that justified the low pay. Pay scoopers $30-40/hr. Keep the margin. Demonstrate that a gig platform can be profitable AND treat workers with dignity.

Custom Onboarding - Industry First

The DeuceScoop onboarding flow has more graphics, options, and steps than any competitor in the pet waste industry. A multi-step wizard walks customers through service selection, yard details, scheduling preferences, and payment - with custom illustrations at each step.

Conversion rate optimization built in from day one: progress indicators, clear pricing, mobile-optimized, and post-onboarding confirmation flow that sets customer expectations before the first service.

The Mission

The DeuceScoop model is intentionally mission-driven. Bob Chapman (Barry-Wehmiller) calls this being a good steward for those in your care. Shipt, DoorDash, and Uber show what happens when you don't - gig workers subsidize investor returns with poverty-level effective hourly rates.

AI agents handle the overhead that historically justified low gig wages. When AI does this work, there's room to pay scoopers $30-40/hr and still run a profitable business. That's the model. That's the proof of concept for BotSteps ACF.
