Solves“I copied the dogs-per-day break-even formula and I still cannot tell whether my lion cut is losing money.”
WorthOne hourly number that prices any service in ten seconds, plus a per-service table that shows which menu lines sit below cost before a slow month shows you.

What’s inside

  • A four-group cost inventory with the cat-specific lines most groomers forget
  • How to measure real billable hours and a short-groom allowance from your own calendar
  • The hourly floor turned into a per-service price floor table
  • Three fully worked composite salons at three sizes
  • A profit layer that flows into the floor, and a quarterly re-run
