In Dumpster Controls, a junk removal business runs on one app because every step of a job writes to the same record. The booking creates the customer and the job, the job carries its load fraction to the Dispatch board and the crew's phone, the crew's photos and the extra charge land on it, the invoice and its reminders are attached to it, and Orders P&L reads the profit from it. Nothing is re-typed between tools, and the account is free for any fleet size.

## One junk job, start to finish, in Dumpster Controls

1. **The job comes in.** From your booking page or widget, by phone, or by telling Tresha create a job for John and answering a few numbered prompts. See [setting up your booking page](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/online-booking/set-up-your-booking-page).
2. **It is priced by fraction and appears on the board.** The Load Pricing table sets the amount; the job shows on Operations with Active, Scheduled and Late counts, and on the Dispatch board with its JUNK REMOVAL badge. See [junk jobs on Operations](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/inventory/manage-junk-jobs-from-operations).
3. **The crew gets it.** One drag into a lane sends a Junk Job Assigned push with the address; the job sits in the crew's list in run order, with the window, the fraction and the office notes. See [dispatching junk removal jobs](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/dispatch/dispatch-junk-removal-jobs).
4. **The crew works it on the phone.** On site, loading, to landfill, completed, one tap each, with photo slots stamped with date, time, location and company name, and a landfill trip with receipt scan. See [the landfill trip](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/driver-app/run-a-landfill-trip-with-receipt-scan).
5. **The customer pays.** The invoice went out with the job; Send Payment Link, Charge Card on file, or Mark as Paid for cash, with 10 days of reminders that stop on payment. See [sending a payment link](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/invoicing-payments/send-a-payment-link).
6. **The owner reads the result.** Finances shows net profit, Received, Invoiced and Unpaid; Orders P&L shows the job's Revenue, Fees, Costs, Profit and Margin; the books flow to QuickBooks. See [the net profit dashboard](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/finances/read-the-net-profit-dashboard).

Every step above is documented screen by screen in the manual: [How to use the setup checklist](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/getting-started/use-the-setup-checklist).
