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
