Build a break-even sheet that tells you how many sales you need
You don't know how many jobs, covers or orders you need each month just to stand still. Get the number, and a free spreadsheet that updates when your costs or prices change.
The problem
You know roughly what comes in and goes out, but not the point where you stop losing money. So every quiet week feels like a crisis, and you can't tell whether a price rise or a cheaper supplier would make more difference.
The outcome
You don't know how many jobs, covers or orders you need each month just to stand still. Get the number, and a free spreadsheet that updates when your costs or prices change.
The prompt · ChatGPT

A short example
You don't know how many jobs, covers or orders you need each month just to stand still. Get the number, and a free spreadsheet that updates when your costs or prices change.
This does not give tax advice. The books stay in the accounting system.
You list your monthly fixed costs, your typical price and what each sale costs you to deliver.
The assistant asks what counts as one sale for you and which costs go up with each sale.
You get your break-even number with the sums shown, a what-if table and the exact sheet layout and formulas.
