I recommend NEVER paying a percentage for WDF. We distribute the tips based upon their production and some owners pay based upon production too. But I'd veer away from giving away a percentage of your business, whether it's to an employee or a software company. Keep the percentages in your pocket.
@@theGrayArea2 Lots of different ways of doing this and I'd go with the solution that you are most comfortable with. We pay based upon hourly with production requirements. And yes, it takes time to get people up to speed, and some people just can't move fast, and you need to let those people go if they don't pan out. When we set the production requirement too high, then quality went down. We found our own sweet spot that works well for us, but it also depends on the types of garments they're laundering. You need to make sure your employees don't cherry pickup the easy to fold stuff (sheets) and give the baby clothes to the new person. But if they're employees, you have to do some type of hourly, unless you have a different arrangement.
Good stuff Matt.
Do you pay employees a percentage of each WDF? Flat rate? How much?

@@MatthewSimmons1 how do you pay someone based on production if not hourly rate…just wondering what scale you use to figure this number out
