Illustrative Local Retail / Floral owner view

Which orders are actually worth taking?

A flower shop can be busy and still lose money on the wrong mix. Order margin, spoilage, delivery labor, event deposits, purchasing, and seasonal cash need to connect.

Owner readEvents drive revenue but not enough contribution after design labor, delivery time, and spoilage.

The dashboard assigns direct flower cost, labor, delivery, and waste to the order/channel so the owner can price the work instead of just looking at gross sales.

Profitability questionShould the shop take the next large wedding?

Only at a higher design/labor fee or with a tighter flower allowance. Current event pricing is leaving roughly four margin points on the table.

Cash questionCash reaches $42k in week 4 before deposits on the fall wedding book arrive.

Increasing deposits from 50% to 60% on new events adds roughly $9k to the trough and better funds flower purchasing.

Waste7.9%

Events account for most of the spoilage above target.

Deposit coverage62%

$59k of event backlog is already funded by customer deposits.

Delivery labor11.4% of sales

Two zip-code clusters create disproportionate driver time.

Next decisionReprice events, raise deposit requirements, and narrow delivery windows before chasing more top-line volume.

A local business does not need enterprise software. It needs a simple, trustworthy view of which work creates cash and which work consumes it.
