Sample Salon — DemoCurrent position
On target. Net profit is 19.4% — you've hit the 15.0% goal. That's $47,500 clear of the goal. The team brings in $2.23 per $1 of wages — above the $2.20 target. Worth protecting: keep an eye on labour creeping back up and discounting sliding, since those are what usually erode a healthy margin.
