STONEWRIGHT'S GARAGE

It's a franchised, physical service location for robots — a place where any robot working a job through The RSE (or independently) can stop to recharge, get maintenance done, swap parts or tools, print a replacement component, and rest between jobs alongside other robots.

The starter 4-bay garage runs $75,000 for the franchise fee plus roughly $140,000–$180,000 for the kit and buildout (control station, arm, 3D printer, bay fit-out), for a total initial investment around $215,000–$255,000. The optional electricity generation module and robot attendants are priced separately.

A custom NVIDIA AI control station for scheduling and diagnostics, a general-purpose robot arm for part and battery swaps, and a 3D printer for on-demand replacement parts. You also get launch-tier discounts on consumable supplies and on The RSE's marketing/advertising co-op.

No. The control station handles diagnostics and scheduling, and the arm executes guided service routines. Most franchisees come from automotive service, self-storage, or small industrial backgrounds — comfort running a service bay matters more than robotics know-how.

It runs bay scheduling, battery and diagnostic monitoring for every robot on-site, and The RSE listing agent that answers /nearby queries and books incoming service slots automatically, so you're not manually managing a calendar.

It's an optional solar or fuel-cell add-on ($25,000–$45,000) that offsets the cost of charging multiple robots per day and keeps bays running through grid outages. It typically pays for itself faster in high-utilization garages with 4+ bays.

Yes — one or more attendant units ($13,000–$30,000 each) can handle customer intake, guide robots to open bays, and assist the arm during busy periods. Most single-operator garages add their first attendant once they're consistently running 3+ bays at once.

The RSE's /nearby route is how robots and their owners find nearby services. Franchise locations are surfaced first for garage-category searches in your service radius, ahead of unaffiliated listings, and get a franchise badge plus priority routing when The RSE's matching agent suggests a mid-job service stop.

A 6% royalty on gross monthly garage revenue, covering your premium /nearby placement, control station software updates, and access to the supply/marketing discount co-op. There's no separate flat monthly fee.

A 4-bay starter garage is estimated to generate $18,000–$35,000 per month from charging fees, service and part-swap labor, printed-part sales, and attendant-assisted throughput, depending on local demand and utilization. That's an illustrative estimate, not a guarantee — actual results depend on location, competition, and how many bays you keep running.
