How to Calculate Your Shop's Break-Even Point

Mastering break even analysis is essential for modern barber shops.

In the competitive world of barbering, understanding break even analysis can be the difference between a thriving shop and one that struggles to pay the rent.

At Operation Glass Door, we believe in systems, not guesswork. Here are 3 proven strategies to master this area of your business.

1. Fixed vs Variable Costs

Rent is fixed. Shampoo is variable. Know the difference to calculate your break even analysis accurately.

2. The Daily Number

Don't look at monthly targets. Know exactly how many cuts you need *today* to keep the lights on.

3. Buffer Fund

Always aim for Break-Even + 20%. Operating on the edge is dangerous.
