Sound Familiar?
You pull up to a client's house at 8am with your mobile rig. Full interior/exterior detail, quoted at $350. The client asks if you can do a ceramic coating too — that's another $400 but you need to check your product inventory. You text your 11am to confirm but they don't respond. By noon you're finishing the detail, need to invoice, and realize you've been using Square this whole time but it doesn't track which products you used or calculate your actual profit per job.
