Summary:
Estimate your labor costs by estimating the amount of time you or your team members will spend on a specific arrangement.
Instructions:
Start on the Recipes tab, locate the recipe card you want to add labor to, and expand it.
Find and expand the row labeled Labor, revealing two rows of input fields.
In the first field, labeled Build (for in-studio labor), enter the time spent per arrangement in minutes. For example, enter "30 minutes" for each centerpiece.
Next to this field, you'll find the Rate field. Enter the labor rate, which is a composite or average rate for your shop. You could set this conservatively to your highest-paid staff or freelancer rate.
The system calculates labor cost by multiplying the minutes by the hourly labor rate, which then gets added to the cost of your arrangement.
Within your markups and fees settings, you have the option to add a markup on labor. If applied, the marked-up portion of labor will be added to the price.
You can also account for Install time, which is meant for on-site or setup time. For setting up each centerpiece, if it's "5 minutes", enter this amount, adding an additional labor cost to the arrangement
