Protected Launch Period
We understand territory ramp-up takes time. If allocated job opportunities total less than $2,500 in your first 30 days, your royalty reduces to 5% (instead of 10%) for the following 30 days.
Conditions (all must be met):
- Respond within 1 hour to allocated jobs
- Maintain your agreed availability
- Follow the pricing matrix
- Accept allocated jobs (no cherry-picking)
This protection gives you breathing room during your first month without excessive fees while your territory builds momentum.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take calls from customers?
No. All customer communication, bookings, and inquiries are handled centrally. You receive job allocations via the system and complete the work. No phone calls required.
Do I need to advertise or find my own clients?
No. We handle all marketing, SEO, and lead generation. Your sign-up fee and ongoing royalty support this centralised marketing that brings jobs to your territory.
What equipment do I need?
You need your own vehicle (ute or van), professional gardening tools (mower, whipper snipper, hedge trimmer, blower, hand tools), and a smartphone for the operator app. We provide detailed instructions on recommended equipment during onboarding, including specifications and where to purchase quality tools.
How does territory allocation work?
Applicants nominate a preferred Perth zone. Multiple operators can work the same zone. Jobs in that area are dispatched among operators assigned there, subject to the current operator agreement.
How do payments work?
Weekly payment processing. We calculate your gross revenue from completed jobs, deduct the 10% royalty and $200 weekly fee, and pay you the remainder. All tracked in your dashboard.
How is the 10% calculated?
The 10% royalty is calculated on gross revenue (total job value before any deductions). For example, a $500 job = $50 royalty. Then the $200 weekly fee is deducted separately.
Can I hire staff to help me?
Yes, you can hire staff as your business grows. You're responsible for their wages, insurance, and supervision. They must follow our quality standards and photo requirements.
What services are included in the network?
Standard residential maintenance: lawn mowing, edging, weeding, pruning, hedge trimming, mulching, and garden bed maintenance. Full service list provided during onboarding.
What if I'm sick or on leave?
Notify us in advance via the system. We can temporarily reallocate jobs or reschedule where possible. Extended leave may require a backup operator in your territory.
Is this a franchise?
Green Shoots describes the arrangement as an independent operator network rather than a traditional franchise. Review the operator agreement and seek independent legal and business advice.
What happens if I don't meet the $2,500 threshold in my first 30 days?
Your royalty automatically reduces to 5% for the next 30 days (instead of 10%), provided you meet all conditions: 1-hour response time, maintained availability, following pricing matrix, and accepting allocated jobs.
Can I choose which jobs I accept?
No cherry-picking is allowed. Jobs allocated to your territory must be accepted unless you have a genuine availability conflict. This ensures fairness and consistent service to customers.
