What This Guide Covers

Requires Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise. This tool needs to save your service data between visits.
Why This Matters
Your most popular service isn't necessarily your most profitable one. Very few platforms calculate true profitability, since that requires your cost and time inputs, which only you know.
Case Study
Indigo Nail Studio
Indigo Nail Studio assumed their most requested service was also their most profitable, since it was always booked out. Running the actual numbers showed the service's high product cost and long chair time meant a simpler service actually earned more per hour.
Result: The studio adjusted pricing on the nail art add on.
