Someone recently commented that labor is our greatest expense. I'm curious what you do to reduce that expense (other than the obvious...reducing our pay for the One Man Shows).
In fast food restaurants and day care businesses they watch this very closely. People are called in and sent home on an hourly basis as business rises and falls through the day.
This doesn't seem like a good idea for the trades, but I think the common practices around here are the use of apprentices and undocumented laborers.
Setting up a job well and planning can help also. There's nothing like having the truck 10' from the work.
