Improve profitability

FinanceMargin lost to reworkPart of what each sale leaves goes on orders that come back or are put right. That cost sits inside a thinner margin unless it is tracked as a line of its own.

Finance

You named squeezed margins as a problem.

You told us margins are squeezed. Each sale then leaves less than it seems to, and selling more at the same margin adds work faster than it adds money.

Profitability

Where the margin goes in a small business

Profit can leak in many small places: prices that have not kept up with costs, work done twice, small orders that cost more to serve than they bring, or a mix nobody has checked. Flawian takes the area you want to improve, reads where the business stands from your answers and shows what to look at first.

Guides

Should I raise my prices?
How price, the number of sales made and the cost of delivering each sale together change what is left.
How many sales do I need to break even?
How the amount left from each sale adds up to cover the costs of keeping the business open.
What is gross margin, and how do I calculate it?
Work out gross profit and gross margin from your own sales and cost of goods sold, see what one sale leaves, and why margin is not profit.
How do I calculate food cost percentage?
Work out food cost percentage for one dish and for a month, then compare the cost of the food you used with your recipe cost.
Which of my products or services leaves the most money per scarce hour?
How two offers compare by what each leaves, after its variable costs, per hour of the capacity they share.
How long until a machine or tool pays for itself?
Divide what a machine or tool costs by the extra money it brings each month, from savings or extra work, and check that against its useful life.
Will a second location pay for itself?
Work out how many months a second location needs to earn back its opening cost, counting what it changes at your first one. No lease or legal advice.

Where the margin usually goes

Sales grow but what is left at the end of the month does not.
Nobody is sure which products or customers actually make money.
Prices were set a while ago and costs have moved since.
Mistakes and rework eat time nobody charges for.

Eight quick questions · about five minutes · no account needed

Questions owners ask

Why can sales grow while profit does not?: Because each extra sale can bring extra costs: discounts, rework, small orders that take as much effort as large ones, or prices that have not kept up with costs.
Do I need exact numbers to start?: No. The questions are quick picks, and “not sure” is a real answer. The read says what it could not see instead of guessing.
