IMO the ONLY thing in the list worth doing is #7 and is the only legitimate cost reduction. We removed 200 lights drawing 75watts each of electricity and replaced with LED that used around 2 watts each. These lights are on approximately 12 hours a day 350 days a year. |
LED's are in from the get go when i acquired the salon...
the previous owner, had 6 salons and as routine closed Sundays during NOV,DEC and JAN
I did not do it for 2 cycles to measure it against his and my performance.
yes, labor is a consideration, since Los angeles/ CA has implemented a 15.00 minimum wage to be phased in.
he was paying <8.00, i bought it and it went to 9.00
now it is at 10.00. and i inherited and challenged salon, tracking the sales there is no growth.
