A $500 order sounds amazing! But a $500 order doesn’t mean you made $500.
Let’s say you spend $75 on ingredients, $30 on packaging, $200 worth of labor and $50 on overhead.
Suddenly, your $500 order only left you with $145 in profit. And if that order took you eight hours, you just made about $18 an hour.
This is why looking at your sales alone can be really misleading.
