- Whether the day leaves you better off once product, card fees and clients who'd book another day are counted
- The surcharge that breaks even or hits your margin, and who on the roster earns a day in lieu
Have these handy
- Who you'd roster, their pay rates and hours
- Which of them normally work that day of the week
- What you expect to take on the day
- A normal day's takings, if you want the comparison
