Service recipes are the products you use in your salon or spa to perform a service.
For example, a manicure might consist of a certain amount of acetone, a certain mL of nail polish, and another mL amount of clear coat polish. Calculating the cost of these is usually done when determining the price you charge your customers, but how do you keep track of what gets used and what your profit margin is for each service?
Recipes allow you to add these professional stock items to a service so that your profit margin gets calculated automatically, and your professional stock level gets reduced as services are performed. This will allow you to keep better track of your stock, and see how much money each service is truly generating.
