Who it's for
U.S. residents living near an established short-term-rental market who want a small B2B service they operate alone — no cleaning, no guest handling — and who can put $1,500–$6,000 of their own money at risk. Fits detail-driven people comfortable with spreadsheets, wholesale shopping, and direct selling to hosts; a poor fit for anyone seeking passive income or a nationwide platform play.
About this playbook
A restocking route turns other people's rental headaches into a subscription: independent hosts pay a monthly fee for checked shelves, full coffee stations, and an emergency call that actually gets answered. This playbook runs the venture the way the arithmetic demands — proof that hosts will pay comes before a dollar of inventory, and the numbers decide the price before the paperwork starts. The path moves through demand tests with real hosts, a three-part price, four working financial tables, single-member LLC formation with sales-tax and local-license checks, five signed pilot properties in one geographic cluster, and a first billing cycle reconciled down to profit per property after driving and shopping time. It does not cover cleaning, guest communication, or property management, and it does not promise any market has enough hosts — phase one exists to answer that question cheaply.

What you need first
A driver's license, an insured car, and a smartphone; a home or small storage space that can pass a zoning check; the ability to pass a background check, since buildings and platforms may require one; basic spreadsheet arithmetic; and cash you can afford to lose — the plan is built around a $1,500–$6,000 capital envelope. No hospitality or janitorial experience is assumed.
