Wherever homes and businesses are not on the sewer, septic tanks and pit toilets need emptying every so often. Emptiers with vacuum trucks, sometimes called exhausters, serve homes, schools, hotels, farms and building sites. Jobs are booked by phone, often at short notice, and paid on the day, mostly in cash, and emptiers also pay fees at the treatment site. A payments app that takes a deposit when a job is booked, lets customers pay by phone when the truck is done and lets owners pay drivers and site fees can win these firms, and every customer who pays sees your app.
