Calculate fixed time and cost per visit, including travel, booking, tools, and payment administration. Decide if the minimum covers a defined inspection or first block of labour. Explain when parts or longer work are additional.
Base a minimum charge on the time and costs a small visit actually consumes, including scheduling, travel, preparation, and administration. State the minimum before accepting a short task and explain whether additional work is priced separately. Review it when routes, fuel or supply costs change, but do not surprise an existing customer with a new fee after work has begun.
Check that the minimum still covers an actual short job after accounting for travel and preparation time.
Tell customers the minimum before scheduling and explain what it covers. Offer a combined visit only when it is practical. Review whether customers decline after learning the minimum and whether travel or preparation costs are driving it.
Review whether the minimum fits your area and job type. Publish the minimum and what it covers on a KobStore service page; create one to reduce price surprises.
