rc_mower — Server Owner Manual
A lawn-mowing job for FiveM. Players collect a truck, trailer and ride-on mower from a depot, drive to a customer's yard, cut the grass without hitting rocks, get paid, and return the vehicles for their deposit back.
Almost everything you will want to change is edited in game, from the admin panel, and takes effect immediately — no restart, no file editing.

The job in one page
- A player targets the depot manager and picks Start work. A deposit is charged (default $100).
- A truck, a trailer and a mower spawn. The player drives to a randomly chosen yard from your yard list.
- Grass patches and rocks spawn inside the yard's radius. Cut grass pays; hitting a rock damages the mower's engine.
- When enough of the yard is done, the customer pays: grass money + a perfect yard bonus + a level bonus + a streak bonus, capped by your payout limit.
- The player drives back to the depot and returns the vehicles. The deposit is refunded in full, in half, or not at all, depending on the mower's engine health.
