Know The Cost
Every service has labour time, processing cost, finishing time, packaging, utilities and risk. These must be understood before setting prices.
Pricing / Margin / Break Even
How To Price Services™
Pricing is not guessing what the customer will accept. Pricing must cover labour, rent, utilities, chemicals, packaging, equipment, risk, time and profit.

Plain-English Industry Guidance
What the owner needs to understand.
These articles connect business knowledge, garment care knowledge, training, operations and DCMEasy POS™ into one practical learning path.
Risk Has A Price
Silk, wedding gowns, leather, suede, curtains, doonas and heavily stained items require more time, communication and risk control.
Cheap Can Be Expensive
Low prices may bring volume, but volume without margin can increase stress and reduce profit.
Review Regularly
Rent, wages, energy and supplier costs change. Pricing must be reviewed before margins disappear.

DCME Rule™
Explore. Learn. Understand. Then decide.
The aim is not to force every owner into the same path. The aim is to give useful knowledge first, then let the business owner choose free, low-cost, premium or software access.
