: I have found that we have spent big bucks in labor hours working on rentals for off premise events.
: I work with one rental company that gives me 15% discount-which is great- we do alot of business.
: My problem is- how do I recoup $s spent on countless hours of organizing rentals booked by clients?
: The situation would be- the client books the tent before the caterer then caterer winds up finishing the rental order so as not to be screwed up on day of function. This happens all of the time.Then, of course are all of the changes.My assistant spends 8 hours a week an this (minimum).
: HELP!!!!!!!!!
Why don't you include a separate line item (a charge) called installation. It was suggested to me that we do this when we have to set up bigger affairs. The linens rental that I use charges an installation fee if they come out to an event.
Just a thought!
