See your profit margin on every product
You know what a portion of grilled salmon costs to make. CaterWay can show you what it earns, right next to the price field, without ever showing that number to your customer.
Where to add it
- Open Products, edit a product, and expand Advanced.
- Enter your internal cost under Cost price (optional).
What you get
As soon as you've entered both a sales price and a cost, a Margin line appears showing the profit in your currency and as a percentage:
Margin: €8.50 (37%)
It's live, both in Advanced next to the cost field, and right under the price field near the top of the form, so you see it while you're still setting the price, not after.
If your cost ever exceeds your price, the margin turns red instead of green, an easy way to catch an underpriced item before it goes live.
Leaving it blank
Cost price is entirely optional. Products without a cost simply show no margin line, nothing else changes.
