Invoices are a second job
You did the work. Then you send a bill. Then you wait. Then you nudge. Then you wait again. That lag is why healthy cleaning companies still feel broke mid-month.
Card on file is the hotel model
Save a card when they book. Charge when the job is marked complete. Pair it with a clear 24-hour cancel policy so the reservation feels real to both sides.
What changes in the first month
Cash hits the same day the crew finishes. No-shows drop because the appointment is real. You stop spending Sundays on unpaid invoices. Robinline collects the card at booking and charges on completion with Stripe.
