Training: Our number one mission is to build a thriving community
of franchise owners. We achieve this by putting Franchise Owners
First, starting with our robust training and support program,
systems and tools. We begin with 5 days of initial franchise
training at our headquarters. During that time we spend 3 days in
the classroom focused on marketing, technology, budgeting, and the
tools you need to run a successful business. We then spend 2 days
in the field installing robots, fence doors, and executing
maintenance. Following training at the Robin's Nest HQ, we then
spend 3 days in your territory with you. Ongoing training classes
will be hosted throughout the year via live webinars, conference
calls and online programs. In addition to our training program, you
also benefit from:
Marketing - we have a proven mix of digital, print
and customer referral programs to help you acquire customers, with
a brand that is memorable and a product that generates its own
PR.
Operations - Our manuals and technology system
contain processes and checklists that ensure reliable, high-quality
service for customers and less headaches for you.
Technology - Our custom-built platform enables you
to manage your business, including job schedules, customer billing,
inventory management, and more.
Leadership - We are here to support you every step
of the way, from our CEO to every member of the organization. Your
success is our priority.
Supporting our franchise owners is the backbone of our success and
we look forward to working with you throughout the lifecycle of
your business.

Our Business Model
A robotic mower is installed at a customer's home. The robot
handles the repetitive mowing, while human crews come out
periodically to take care of the edging, trimming, weeding and
other yard care needs. Our customers never have to worry about an
overgrown yard and our crew members can focus their talents on
higher-value, higher-margin activities.
Thisis a recurring revenue service. Customers' cards are
automatically charged a set monthly fee based on their level of
service and size of their property. Because of the robots, the
price can be less than they'd pay traditional landscaping services
while receiving higher-quality, more reliable service.
Why Robotic Mowing?
Massive change is coming to the $70 billion U.S. landscaping
market. More than 1 million robotic mowers are already safely
operating in Europe and the United States is next. Our franchisees
are uniquely positioned to benefit from this shift toward more
reliable, eco-friendly, lower-cost robotic mowing.
Huge existing landscaping market of $70 billion, including millions
of residential lawns Traditional customer experience is archaic and
unreliable with checks left under doormats and crews that don't
show up.
Robotic mowers are proven technology in Europe but only just now
entering the U.S. Robots will win because they:
- Are reliable, never skip a day of work and even mow in the rain
Cost less due to automation
- Are quiet enough to mow at night-no more disruptions for
napping kids or conference calls
- Produce greener, healthier lawns due to frequent cutting and
tiny clippings that fertilize the turf
- Are emission-free, reducing as much pollution as taking 2 cars
off the road!
