Restoration operations
In restoration, the customer is not comparison shopping. Their basement is flooding at 2am and they call whoever picks up first. This is the operations side of that reality: why water and fire jobs escalate by the hour, what you have to capture on the first call, how to dispatch a crew faster after hours, and how the company that answers wins the insurance work.
