    Warehouse Lighting
    A warehouse is a place where finished goods and other products are stored. These warehouses are plain buildings with large and enclosed spaces, located in industrial areas to facilitate easy accessibility when the need to use the stored products arises. They harbor a separate opening for trucks a

    I learned about business expenses at one of my first jobs. It was in a fast food restaurant, working as an assistant manager I was responsible for placing the orders for food and supplies. I noticed how many thousands of dollars we spent on ketchup, mayonnaise and other sauce packets. Then I watched for a while, to see how many the employees were handing out at the drive-through window.

    Pretty quickly, I realized that many of the employees were putting a handful of packets in the bag for customers - before even asking if they wanted any. It was time for a new policy, I decided. I informed all the employees that they were to ask the customers if they wanted ketchup, mustard or any other sauce packets. Then they were to either ask how many they wanted, or let the customer see them putting just a few in the bag, so the customer could ask for more if they wanted more.

    The Need for Employment Background Checks
    Depending on your state and what type of business you are in, employee background checks may or may not be mandated by law. In businesses that deal with children or seniors, Federal law requires background checks on all employees and/or volunteers. The reasons should be obvious: the Federal gover

    Customer Service: Are You Being Served?
    Where has customer service gone? It used to be that if you wanted information about a product or service, you simply contacted the company. Today, contacting a company by phone is more difficult. Sometimes you need to go through a myriad of pushing numbers to get to the department that may

    Buying Business Phones
    Business phone systems can be purchased from telephone service providers, other manufacturers through their sales networks or through Internet. Most businesses usually need to have several telephones to run their operations and it is neither practical nor necessary to have each telephone connecte

    Employee Benefits
    Meant to increase the economic security of employees, employee benefits are non-wage compensations in addition to normal wages or salaries. Employee benefits could be in the form of health and dental plans; retirement benefit plans; group-term life and long-term-care insurance plans, legal assist

    The customers were happy, and fewer packets went out that window. How many fewer? I don't remember exactly. What I do remember, is that after tracking our subsequent use of sauce packets, I discovered that the new policy was saving the restaurant about $2,000 per year. I later found a way to rework the schedule to save $15,000 annually on labor costs, while providing better customer service. These business expenses add up.

    It's important to note that money saved is often pure profit. The owners made $15,000 more profit when my new way of scheduling saved them $15,000 in labor costs. To increase profits $15,000 from new sales, they would have needed $60,000 more in sales (after costs, profits are only 25% of sales in this particular business). In other words, finding ways to save money can be a powerful way to increase your profits.
