Pay toilets business. Toilet cabin. The most relevant locations for the placement of "blue" booths

01.04.2020

In this material:

Is the toilet business worth considering? If as a small business it is good project who is not afraid of crises. People always want bread and circuses, after which they look for where to fulfill another, vital need. The law does not allow this to be done around every corner, violators face a fine, and there are not so many latrines. And in this case, the legislator, as it were, played along with the citizens who are thinking about starting their own business.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the project

It has already become traditional that private companies are involved in the housing and communal services system, which are given at the mercy of various works. This includes garbage collection, maintenance of residents' plumbing, repairs of apartments and houses, and replacement of electrical wiring. And in all these areas, with the exception of the water utility, where the monopoly has become stronger, competition between private entrepreneurs is intensifying. The toilet business is no exception, but it has a number of advantages and disadvantages, the combination of which leaves this niche unfilled.

The main disadvantage is not the unattractiveness of this niche from an aesthetic point of view, but the low profitability. On the other hand, this market is still unsaturated. It is precisely because of its low profitability that entrepreneurs prefer to find themselves in other projects.

The main client for the enterprise is the city, and therefore it is necessary to establish contacts with representatives of the city authorities. But there is no need to pay monthly rent for the place where the booths will be placed. A big plus is that the city authorities are interested in the development of such projects that improve the cleanliness of the streets, yards and entrances.

Despite the low profitability, small investments are required, which will pay off within 6-12 months if the entrepreneur does not aim at creating a network of mobile toilets. But even in this case, you can get by with the equivalent of 100 thousand dollars. In addition, the following difficulties are worth noting:

  • it is difficult to recruit staff due to the unattractiveness of this type of employment and its labor intensity;
  • plastic booths in the harsh conditions of the Russian climate fail 2 times faster than in central, western and southern Europe;
  • mobile cabins cannot be insured, all risks are borne by their owner.

A little about geographical features. Keep in mind that this business cannot be started in the conditions of the Far North. Plastic will quickly become unusable, and the ambient temperature requires stationary conditions for the toilet. The colder the climate, the worse the profitability of the project. For example, in Siberia it will give 2 times less profit than in Central Russia.

How much investment is required at the start

To organize this project, it is enough to register as an individual entrepreneur, no licenses are required for it. It is better to buy several booths at once. 2-3 booths can be simultaneously served by 1 operator. This is exactly the name of the position of the person who releases this service to consumers. In his work book this place of work will be designated as the operator.

3 cabins at a price of 20 thousand rubles. will cost 60 thousand rubles, an old truck can be taken at a price of 200-250 thousand rubles. But even if you add to this the cost of toilet paper, then they do not end there - toilets still need to be constantly maintained.

This is not about the work of the operator, but about cleaning the contents of the booth, which is growing every day. The installed tank with a capacity of approx. 300 liters must be cleaned after every 500 visits. Special services are engaged in this, the cost of the service for one booth is 200-300 rubles. Take into account that this service will be needed once a week or 3 times in 2 weeks, if up to 100 people visit the booth on average per day. For a month it will be released 4-7 times or 800-2100 rubles. for one cabin. If the cabin is used during mass events, then you will have to turn to cleaning services every day.

The spending part does not end there. As soon as the toilet is removed, a special solution must be poured into the tank. It is designed to improve the process of waste decomposition, eliminates the characteristic odor. One refueling of the tank will cost 80-120 rubles. Taking into account cleaning 4-7 times a month, 320-840 rubles will have to be allocated for it. per month.

total, for Maintenance one booth must be provided for 1120-2940 rubles. Add the cost of toilet paper (from 2 thousand rubles), the salary of the operator (10-12 thousand rubles), which will require two, additional costs in the amount of 5 thousand rubles for unforeseen expenses. In total, this will amount to from 16 to 20 thousand rubles.

This calculation is for one cubicle, but if there are 3, the costs do not need to be multiplied by 3 as well. Maintenance and toilet paper costs increase, while the salary value and contingencies remain the same. We get that for 3 booths per month you will have to spend from 22 to 30 thousand rubles.

Together with the cost of buying booths and a car in the first month, you will have to spend 282-340 thousand rubles, which is equivalent to 5 thousand dollars. 4/5 of the cost is the purchase of a car. If you rent it or rent it, then the initial costs will not exceed 100 thousand rubles. You can do the same with booths, the rent of which will cost 3-5 thousand rubles. each. If you go this way, then the initial start of the project will cost 40-50 thousand rubles.

What is the profit from the project

It must be calculated based on the conditions of a particular region. The service can cost both 5 rubles and 30 rubles. The average cost in the country is 10 rubles. the calculation is based on the fact that about 100 people visit one booth per day. In total, the daily revenue for one toilet is 1000 rubles. or 3000 rubles. - for three. This is 90 thousand rubles per month. If we take away the monthly costs, and this is within 30 thousand rubles, then the profit extracted from the enterprise is about 60 thousand rubles.

But these are calculations on paper. In practice, you will have to sweat a lot to find a place where on a weekday about 300 citizens would use the services of toilet cubicles. The calculation was carried out from the condition that they stand together, and 1 operator works near them. In practice, in order to achieve such a visit, booths will have to be placed in different places, and therefore not 1, but 3 operators will be needed. This adds an expense of 20-24 thousand rubles. Accordingly, the profit will be 35-40 thousand rubles.

And what is the income from the enterprise at events? It is stated above that at the events the tanks are filled completely. This means 500-600 clients per day, which will amount to 5-6 thousand rubles from one booth or 15-18 thousand rubles. from three. Expenditures for cleaning and salaries for operators will be in the range of 4-5 thousand rubles. It is recommended that staff be paid double their salary on this day. The result is from 10 thousand rubles. arrived in 1 day.

What to worry about in the beginning

The success of the project depends not only on the cleanliness of the booths and the honesty of the operators. It begins even when there is nothing - no booths, no staff, no agreements with the city authorities.

The choice of location is what accounts for 90% of the success of this project.

All the "tasty" places can already be occupied - these are markets, stations, stadiums. Moreover, these places also have stationary toilets, and this is a serious competitor - the conditions are better, and the cost of visiting is the same. Therefore, you will have to study the city, see where new summer cafes open, which do not have toilets. Near such establishments, the installed booth in the summer can be visited by 200-300 people a day.

Parks, squares, stadiums, new markets, spontaneous minibus stations on the edge of the city, places near shopping centers and department stores, alleys and boulevards where drinks are sold, but there is no place to relieve yourself - all this needs to be walked around and looked at for choosing a place for a planned project .

It is a good idea to draw up a business plan for the project and go to the employment service. You must first register as an unemployed person and write a written statement that you plan to start your own business, for which you want to receive start-up capital from the state. A response will be received to the application, which will indicate the date and place of the meeting of the commission, whose members will consider the draft and make their decision - to satisfy the request or refuse it. Such projects that do not require large investments (50-100 thousand rubles), are of social importance for the city or for the region, the commission satisfies.

As you know, money does not smell. However, this kind of business organization of paid toilets not everyone is to their liking. Few people are willing to do this. And absolutely in vain. After all, this one is almost not occupied, and the need for such services has always existed, exists and will exist. Therefore, paid toilets are a necessary, sought-after type of activity that can bring a good, stable income.

Today, they invest their capital in a wide variety of types of business, often forgetting about the existence of the urgent needs of the population. For example, in Moscow at the moment there are only 4,000 portable toilet cabins, which is clearly not enough to meet the needs of such a large city. As a result, there is a catastrophic shortage of toilets in the capital, which, despite the obvious need for service, few people seek to solve.

A distinctive feature of modern business is that it mainly develops at a rapid pace through the implementation of creative ideas and the use of innovations in the areas of digital technology and the Internet. However, there are many areas in which the specifics of business limits the possibility of using revolutionary approaches. In such cases, companies operating in such industries have to take a different path and develop by improving the quality of services provided and improving the service. Such areas of activity are, for example, medical institutions, car centers. These organizations, in order to attract customers, make the main bet on carrying out measures to optimize the service. At the same time, enterprises engaged in the toilet business are only making their first steps in this direction.

The toilet business has a lot of advantages. First of all, it should be noted that this is undoubtedly a humane and profitable business. In addition, this one is not affected by defaults, global financial crises, or other shocks. Nothing can make people give up the need and desire to relieve themselves. At the same time, no one wants to break the law either. And defecation in the wrong places, by the way, falls under Article 20.1 "Petty hooliganism" of the Code Russian Federation on administrative offenses, which states that petty hooliganism - obscene language in public places, offensive harassment of citizens or other actions that violate public order and peace of mind of citizens, entails an administrative fine - from five to fifteen times the minimum wage or an administrative arrest up to fifteen days.

IN Lately in Russia, and throughout the world, is most often practiced toilet cubicle installation. This is due to the fact that such cabins have a lot of advantages. They do not require a foundation and weigh only 80 kilograms, so they can be installed anywhere. In addition, for their use there is no need to connect to the mains and to communications.

This mobile toilet cubicle is a structure made of environmentally friendly high quality polyethylene, which is easy to sanitize and can withstand temperature regime from -500 to +500 degrees Celsius.

Anti-vandal plastic can withstand shock loads up to 300 kilograms per 1 square centimeter. This is especially important when it comes to servicing mass youth events. In addition, the scheme for fastening the door to the door arch is designed in such a way that acts of vandalism can be avoided as much as possible, namely, the door is fastened along the entire length, and not with metal hinges that can be torn out without much difficulty.

The toilet cabin is completely autonomous, it does not need to be connected to the city sewer network. The cleaning work of the receiving tank is carried out using a standard cesspool machine. Another advantage is the absence of contact with the soil, due to which its contamination becomes impossible and environmental safety is fully ensured.

The optimal volume for the receiving tank is 250 liters. Smaller tanks are not as durable and need to be cleaned much more frequently. Large tanks are too high and therefore inconvenient to use. For this reason, cabins are not only extremely inconvenient to use, but also transport. Toilet cabins with tanks of 250 liters are designed for 500 visits. Upon reaching this number of visits, the receiving tanks must be cleaned, after which they are again ready for work and operation. The small weight of the cabin, only 80 kilograms, makes it possible to install it anywhere in the city.

In European countries, the so-called special toilet cubicles, which are modules that are designed for people with disabilities. In addition, cabins that are designed for women with babies are also classified as special. They differ from ordinary ones in that they have tables on which you can swaddle children, as well as chairs with holders so that babies can sit quietly. In our country, such ideas are not particularly popular among entrepreneurs, since they primarily care about the level of profitability, often forgetting about the convenience and comfort of consumers. After all, it is much more profitable to install several cheap modules instead of one expensive one, while receiving several times more income.

Another marvel of engineering in the toilet business is the so-called "smart" toilet, which was brought to Moscow from Sweden. Such a toilet performs a kind of educational function. At the moment when the visitor enters the cabin, the door is automatically blocked and it does not open until the visitor flushes the water and wash his hands. And if for some reason the client lifts his feet off the floor, the toilet will come to the conclusion that there is no one inside the cabin, and will start the disinfection process.

Unfortunately, "smart" toilets have not been able to pay off, while the profitability of standard toilets has been and is at a very low level. high level. Here, too, the townspeople, with incredible tenacity, preferred ordinary toilet cubicles instead of using Western curiosities.

Another problem with the functioning of "smart" toilets in the conditions of Russian reality was the constant breakdown of sensitive electronics, which regularly suffered from the hands of Moscow vandals. The first such toilet cabin was put out of action only three weeks after installation and start of operation. As a result, business owners were forced to abandon the idea of ​​​​using "smart" toilets and return to the usual blue and gray cabins.

An important point for this type of business is location selection. Most of all, places with high traffic of people are suitable for installing paid toilets. However, you should not place such a business, for example, near restaurants and cafes. After all, in accordance with the requirements of sanitary standards, such establishments must have toilet rooms without fail. As a result, there will simply be no one to use the services of a paid toilet. At the same time, the location of toilet cabins near summer cafes is a good idea and in demand.

The distinguishing feature of this type of business is that no rent is charged for placing toilet cabins on city streets. The only exception is markets, where the owner of the building may demand such a fee.

The most difficult thing for the toilet business is the process of collecting all the necessary documents. It will not be allowed to install a mobile toilet cabin without an agreement concluded with the City Vodokanal, without the appropriate permits issued by the sanitary and epidemiological station, the town planning committee, and other government bodies. In addition, it is necessary to obtain a license for waste disposal. Although in this case, city services, as a rule, meet the needs of entrepreneurs, since they, like no one else, are interested in keeping the streets of the city clean and tidy.

In general, to start a toilet business, it is necessary to obtain the following documentation: a hygiene certificate from the center of state sanitary and epidemiological supervision, a certificate of conformity issued by a certification body industrial products, permits from local administrative authorities, permits from the fire department, approvals from the water utility for waste disposal points from mobile toilets, licenses for the movement of waste.

According to experts, more than 2 million people use mobile toilets every day, and only in Moscow alone. The standard cost of the service is about 0.3 dollars. As a result of simple mathematical calculations, it can be seen that the annual business turnover reaches the amount of 360 million dollars, and this is in conditions of a catastrophic shortage of toilets in the city. If the number of toilet cabins on the city streets is at least partially brought into line with the existing demand, then the number of customers will increase significantly, which, of course, will increase the profit received.

To start a toilet business you will need starting capital in the amount of about 10 thousand dollars. A quarter of this amount will be spent on the purchase of two biocabins. If you buy not new equipment, but maintained, you can save a lot. In this case, the purchase will cost from 250 to 300 dollars per booth. But the quality of such products, as a rule, leaves much to be desired, and in fact it will have to be operated daily and very intensively.

The payback period for two toilet cabins is about two months, provided that the number of visitors is from 200 to 300 people at a service price of $ 0.3. The key factors for business success are a systematic and competent approach to work, a thorough analysis of the market, the presence of constant demand and demand for such services, and a low level of competition.

The first paid toilets appeared, of course, in Europe. The author of the idea is considered to be the British illusionist John Maskelyne, who at the end of the 19th century invented a door lock for London's public toilet cubicles. It opened only after a one penny coin was inserted into the coin acceptor. In 1910, the first paid toilet in the United States was installed in Indiana.

In the USSR, the first paid toilet for 10 kopecks appeared in 1989, after the adoption by the Council of Ministers of the Law on Cooperation and the development of the cooperative movement. It was opened at the Belorussky railway station in Moscow, after which a wave of general “toiletization” took place throughout the country.

In addition to basic services, paid toilets were ready to provide suffering citizens with a number of additional amenities for a small fee - for example, brushes for cleaning shoes and clothes, etc. True, by the mid-1990s, the owners of stationary paid toilets realized that much more money could be made by doing a "cleaner" business, for example, by converting a toilet into a cafe or a shop. Today, a stationary pay toilet can be found extremely rarely; they have been replaced by mobile cabins of dry closets.

Profitable and unsinkable business

It is enough to go for a walk around the city center after drinking a couple of bottles of beer to understand how this business works. If this is the center of a big city, then you will pay 10, 15 or even 30 rubles for visiting the toilet cubicle without hesitation. If we are talking about Moscow, then we can safely multiply this amount by a couple of million - according to experts, about the same number of times Muscovites and guests of the capital relieve themselves in mobile dry closets during the day.

The mobile toilet business is attractive for its stability, because it is not afraid of any crises: a person will always want to drink, eat and relieve himself.

Now only in Moscow there are more than 4,000 paid public toilets, that is, one public restroom for 3,000 residents, although according to sanitary standards there should be several times more - 1 toilet for every 500 citizens. This means that most of the profits flow past the cash register.

Directions of the toilet business

Mobile toilet cabin - the design is technically simple. It is made from molded plastic. For ease of transportation, the cabins are produced collapsible.

Today, the market for mobile paid toilets is developing in several directions. The dry closet can be purchased as a property, rented long-term or short-term. Manufacturers of mobile booths are ready to serve not only their own, but also other people's booths, that is, as needed, pump out the contents, clean, fill them with reagents.

There are simple toilets, and there are VIP cabins - more spacious and with a lot of options (washing stations, liquid soap, disposable toilet bowl rims, etc.). Such cabins, in particular, are rented for various outdoor events (weddings, corporate parties, etc.).

What does it take to start a toilet business?

First, register as a sole trader.

Secondly, choose a place to place paid toilet cabins. The main condition is that it should be highly passable, and there should be no competitors and free toilets in the area.

Thirdly, you need to contact the district administration for permission to install a paid dry closet.

Having received permission, you can purchase booths (one booth costs about 15-20 thousand rubles), consumables, hire cashiers and operators and boldly get down to business.

At all times, a business based on the natural needs of a person, like food or clothing, has always had a very high liquidity. The idea of ​​paid toilets is not new. Back in 1852, the Society of Arts opened the first 2 institutions of this type in London. A large-scale advertising campaign was launched, leaflets were distributed praising the convenience and low cost. And in the first month there were more than 80 visitors. In Russia, not so long ago, there was nothing like this. And there are still many places on the streets of cities where it is possible to install paid toilets, but they are not popular with small and medium-sized businesses.

Implementation

At all times, a business based on the natural needs of a person, like food or clothing, has always had a very high liquidity. The idea of ​​paid toilets is not new. Back in 1852, the Society of Arts opened the first 2 institutions of this type in London. A large-scale advertising campaign was launched, leaflets were distributed praising the convenience and low cost. And in the first month there were more than 80 visitors. In Russia, not so long ago, there was nothing like this. And there are still many places on the streets of cities where it is possible to install paid toilets, but they are not popular with small and medium-sized businesses.

Pay toilets can be called a profitable and humane business with full confidence. Neither defaults nor crises threaten the toilet business, because neither Black Thursdays nor global financial crises will not be able to discourage the desire of the people to cope with a small need. Nobody wants to break the law either. Meanwhile, in the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses, article 20.1. "Petty hooliganism", it is said that petty hooliganism - obscene language in public places, offensive harassment of citizens or other actions that violate public order and peace of mind of citizens, entails an administrative fine - from five to fifteen times the minimum wage or an administrative arrest up to fifteen days. Defeating in the wrong place also falls under this article!

There are pros and cons, like any other type of business, of course. At minimum investment in advertising, it is enough to order a bright sign - income is guaranteed. This is the rare case when not the company is looking for a client, but vice versa. But there is also the flip side of the coin. Building a premises from scratch is quite expensive, and it doesn’t matter at all to the tenant of the premises what you open in the rented area - a paid toilet or a beauty salon; You will pay exactly the same, but earn much less. Therefore, there is no boom in investment in the construction of paid toilets. Toilets made of marble remained, except in jokes.

But the inventions of civilization did not stand aside, and since the end of the last century, the installation of toilet cubicles has been practiced all over the world, including in Russia. With a weight of 80 kilograms, installation can be done almost anywhere without a foundation and other preparatory work. No connection to communications or electricity is required.

The seasonal factor also plays an important role and directly affects the profitability of the enterprise. On warm summer evenings in parks on benches, in street cafes, people spend most of their free time, and, consequently, income increases significantly.

First you need to register as an individual entrepreneur in the tax office. If you will only have a few booths, this is the most convenient form, since cash registers are not required, reporting is simplified as much as possible, and taxation can be “optimized”.

Next, you should choose a place to place your booths. Ideally, the placement should be "walkable". The toilet stall at the cafe is not the best idea. All similar establishments according to sanitary standards, including according to GOST R 50762-95 " Catering. Classification of enterprises "are equipped with toilet rooms, and therefore, it is unlikely that anyone will need to use your services. But if you manage to rent a place near a summer cafe, consider that you have caught luck by the tail.

It is very important that no rent is charged for the installation of a toilet on the streets of the city. If placed on the market, this may be required by the owner of the building. The most difficult thing is to collect all the necessary documents. No one will allow you to install a mobile toilet without an agreement with the Gorvodokanal service, permission from the sanitary and epidemiological station, the town planning committee and other governing bodies. But the main thing is to obtain a license for waste disposal. However, the authorities usually go forward. After all, they are primarily interested in the cleanliness of the streets. In general, you will have to collect a number of the following documents: a hygiene certificate from the center of state sanitary and epidemiological surveillance; certificate of conformity of the body for certification of industrial products; permission of local administrative authorities; permission from the fire department; coordination with the districts of the sewerage networks of the water utility, waste disposal points from mobile toilets; waste transfer license.

According to the item of expenses, about 10 thousand dollars can be enough to start.

And ¼ of start-up capital will immediately go to the purchase of two new biocabins. But you can't earn much on two booths. Therefore, it is advisable to plan in advance a larger number of booths. If you buy equipment on the secondary market, you can save a lot - $ 250-$ 300 per booth. The quality of the second-hand leaves much to be desired, and in the conditions of everyday use, the equipment may fail. In addition, in this market, as in any other, there is a place for a fake.

When the business was just gaining momentum, the entrepreneurs did not know how to call the workers to order. The list of violations of labor discipline was very long - from drunkenness in the workplace to concealment of income. Some even managed to scoop out the contents of the tank, since the revenue was measured precisely by its volume. The cashier operator is not an ideal option, but a proven one. The main hours of the influx of visitors are peak hours. Therefore, for the round-the-clock work of your enterprise, it is necessary to employ at least two cashier-operators. Each cashier needs to allocate about $ 250 per month for a salary. For less money, you are unlikely to find a conscientious employee with a clean reputation. The costs associated with the selection of personnel are offset by the small costs of starting a business. Abroad, toilets work without operators, but no one tries to drag a cubicle into their garden.

But do not forget that this is a biocabin, and accordingly there is no pit under it. The daily procedure for cleaning a full tank will cost about $20. But this is only in crowded places. In places where there are not so many visitors, special transport will have to be called no more than 10 times a month. The tank capacity is about 500 liters. Approximately $215 more per month for sanitation and supplies: toilet paper and biofill fluid.

You will not need to rent a solid office, which means that the costs of this can be reduced to a minimum.

According to calculations, two cabins pay off in 2 months at a price of 10 rubles per visit and subject to: 200 - 300 people per day. If exactly the same number of visitors will be served per week, then it is better to turn off the business right away - losses are guaranteed.

Summary.

Toilets should be comfortable. When stationary toilets began to be closed en masse in order to open shops or cafes in them, sanitary problems began to be solved with the help of unsightly plastic booths. But in civilized countries, mobile toilets are a temporary structure, while in our country they are used as permanent ones. Conditions are minimal. Cramped, uncomfortable, cold, impossible to wash your hands. But when you want to go to the toilet, there is no time for a choice, and this is in the hands of entrepreneurs. You can make good money on human need, and there is nothing wrong with that.

His business is organizing a network of paid toilets - a business that can suit even novice entrepreneurs. According to sanitary standards, in every large city where it is difficult for a person to find a place to relieve himself, toilets should be installed at the rate of one toilet for every 500 inhabitants of the city. But here's the problem: not a single large city fulfills this norm. In some cities, there is one toilet for every 5,000 inhabitants, which is 10 times less than the norm. But there is a demand! In addition, for coping with the need in the wrong place, a citizen faces an administrative fine. And what about our residents? Apparently be patient. Endure as long as the toilets are not standing at every step ...

Oddly enough, the paid toilet business has its own seasonality. The demand for paid toilets increases in spring and summer, when people prefer to spend more time outdoors, in parks and squares, with a bottle of beer in their hands. It becomes clear that it is more profitable to install toilets in parks, near summer cafes, in passable places, near cultural and tourist sites, on the central streets of the city.

A business based on human "need" has several possible organization options:

  1. You organize a toilet in any suitable room in high traffic areas. It is desirable that the place is crowded and the person does not have more options than to visit a paid toilet. There is such a place on the border: Russia - Abkhazia. So many people in paid toilet you won't see in real life. The price of the service is 20 rubles, while the number of visitors, for sure, exceeded 1000 per day (the revenue is easy to calculate). The disadvantage of this option is a great dependence on the landlord, who can increase the rent to such an extent that the business becomes unprofitable.
  2. A more affordable option is to buy dry closets and install them in public places. No electricity or sewerage system is needed here. A mobile dry closet is installed in the right place and can immediately receive "guests".

I would like to dwell on this option in more detail. You can buy a dry closet for 25 thousand rubles. This amount is enough to buy a luxury mobile booth with a capacity of up to 300 liters, which is enough for 600 visits:

But it is unprofitable to start from one booth: you won’t earn much. You can safely start with the purchase of 10 booths. Before buying, of course, you need to find places to install them. Though there shouldn't be a problem here. City authorities are willing to cooperate with the owners of dry closets, as they are called upon to protect the cleanliness of the city. In most cases, you will not only be approved for a seat, but you will not be charged for renting it. The main thing is to choose a municipal plot of land, and not private territory. You can only talk to a private trader on a paid basis.

The purchase of 10 booths will cost from 250 thousand rubles, a small part of the funds (about 50 thousand rubles) will be spent on the purchase of consumables: powder, bio-filler, toilet paper and inventory. In the end, you can count on a start of 350 - 400 thousand rubles (including the cost of registering a case and approvals).

After installing the dry closet, you are waiting for current expenses for cabin maintenance: pumping out the contents of the tank - 1000 rubles at a time, consumables -1200 rubles per month and wages of operators - 15,000 rubles per month.

Budget start

It is impossible not to say about the most budgetary option for starting a business. You can not buy dry closets, but simply rent them. Here is an offer from one of the St. Petersburg companies:

Renting one booth will cost, on average, 5,000 rubles a month. But, as a bonus, everything engineering works the company undertakes to maintain the booth: pumping out the contents of the storage tank, supplying consumables, and so on. Your task in this case is to find a profitable place to install a dry closet. There is one drawback here: free pumping is carried out once a week. If you need more frequent cleaning of the tank, you will have to hire a car for money.

If you buy your own sewage truck, you will not only serve your points, but also the points of other market operators. In addition, your clients will be not only owners of dry closets, but also many other clients who have a sewerage system connected (including private homeowners).

The staff of the "institution"

Several booths can be installed at one place, for the maintenance of which at least two operators will be required. The fact is that the toilet in many places must work, in fact, from morning to evening, so operators are hired to work in shifts. The first one worked for eight hours - he is replaced by the next operator. Women of pre-retirement age and pensioners often go to such work: young people are reluctant to get a job here (due to considerations of prestige). Wage either fixed (for example, 500 rubles per exit) or piecework - bonus - a small salary + a percentage of the proceeds per shift.

The staff needs to be constantly monitored: theft of proceeds is not uncommon here, work “past the cash desk”. Some even manage to pump out the contents of the tank, so long as they are not suspected of dishonesty.

Starting a business

Approximate order of opening a case:

  1. search for a place to install dry closets;
  2. business registration. A typical sole proprietorship will do. Suitable OKVED - 93.05 "Provision of other personal services." Taxation system - UTII or USN;
  3. buying booths;
  4. hiring staff.

Paid toilet - how much can you earn?

Daily income:

  • The cost of the service is 15 rubles.
  • Number of visitors - 200 people.
  • Revenue - 3000 rubles.

Daily expenses:

  • Salary (2 operators) - 1000 rubles.
  • Biofiller - 300 rubles.
  • Expendable materials- 100 rubles.
  • Pumping out - 400 rubles. (based on 12 car calls per month for 1000 rubles)

Total: expenses per day - 1800 rubles.

Hence, the profit from one booth is 1200 rubles per day or 36,000 rubles per month.
