Which renovation jobs actually leave us with a profit?
Without numbers per job, it is easy to keep taking the projects that feel good but quietly lose money. Older homes add another layer: some job types run into hidden problems far more often. Owners may sense this but rarely see it laid out clearly.
Close and outcome reporting tracks every estimate, whether it was won and what it earned after costs. We break it down by job type and home age. You see which work to pursue, how to adjust allowances and which projects to decline next time. Patterns appear within a season.
Where do our restaurant bookings and events come from?
Restaurants take bookings by phone, online, through platforms and from walk ins. Events come from referrals, social posts and repeat guests. Without tracking, it is hard to know which efforts fill tables and which just cost time and money. Spending decisions end up resting on whoever argues loudest, rather than on what actually fills seats.
Channel attribution ties each booking and event to its source. A live dashboard shows covers, events and revenue by week. You can put effort into the channels that work and drop the ones that do not. Over time, you also see which events bring guests back as regulars, which is often the most valuable result of all.
