What's your time worth?
How many hours a week go to chasing your numbers?
Logging into the register, the bank, the bill pile and a spreadsheet to figure out how the week went. Put a number on that time, and see what the Command Bar would need to give back to pay for itself.
Sales reports, the bank, bills, stock counts, spreadsheets, texting your manager for numbers.
What you'd pay someone to do it, or what you earn when you're working on the business instead.
The manager counting stock, the cook updating the order sheet, the closer adding up the drawer.
Different roles, different pay. If one person makes $20 and another $30, use $25.

Your time, in dollars

a year: 260 of your hours and 104 of your team's, about nine work weeks in all
Command Bar, first year

Each year after

It pays for itself if it saves about $324 a month in time the first year, and $199 after that. Right now that time costs about $1,257 a month.
This is a rough guide, not a promise. How much time the Command Bar gives back depends on your business. Plan prices are launch pricing for our first ten businesses: Core $1,500 setup and $199 a month, Full $3,000 and $349 a month, each extra location $750 setup and $75 a month. Pay for the year and get 12 months for the price of 10.
Where the time goes instead
An hour back is an hour on the business.
On the floor
Talking to regulars, training the new hire, seeing what's actually moving.
On the next move
The second location, the new product line, the wholesale account you keep meaning to call.
Off the clock
Sunday nights that aren't spent in a spreadsheet.
