For sure, throughput has a quality all of its own as Napoleon really outta shoulda said.The guys here do 8 cars at a time and have an interior valeting bay as well, costs vary from £7-15 vehicle dependent, after the wash they have 2 guys drying them off before you leave, usually queued out of the door
Anyway, rough n dirty.
£10/ car
10 mins/ car
2 guys/ booth
2 guys drying off
8 cars in parallel
6 hours/ day of unbroken business.
£10/ hr/ man assumed.
£100/ day in rent assumed.
2 x 8 = 16 guys in booths, plus 2 guys drying off = 18.
18 heads = £180/hr OH.
Assume £0.50/ car in fluids.
£10.00 - £0.50 = £9.50/ car.
£9.50 x 8 = £76 per cycle, x 6 = £456/hr, x 6 = £2736/ day.
£180/hr x 9 hours of open for business = £1620 total OH.
£2736 - 1620 - 100 = £1016/ day gross margin.
