Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate profit per bay?

Attribute job revenue and direct costs to the bay where work happened, then divide by available bay hours in the period. Software makes this practical by linking jobs, parts, and labour automatically.

What is a healthy bay utilisation target?

Targets vary by workshop type, but consistent measurement matters more than a universal number. Compare your own trend month over month first.
