SERVICE DURATION

How long a service really takes, door to door.

WHAT IT MEANS

Service duration is the time from greeting to goodbye, including consultation, the service itself and the clean-up before the next client.

WHY IT MATTERS

Underestimating it is the most common cause of a schedule that runs late and a day that earns less than it should.
