"WHAT'S NEWS?"
PAGE 13, JUNE, 1978
Operators large and small, from all over everywhere, are
in agreement w1 th "Marketplace" that the one most favor-
able solution to profit is the $10 "service charge". The
very lowest "service charge" in all the nation's service
industries. All agree the $10 "service charge" (which
means $5 of the location's share and $5 of the operator's
share of the gross take) come off the top of eve-ry collec-
tion. To an operator w1 th only 50 locations this means
$500 per week or $26,000 per year of much needed income.
It's "THE ANSWER" operator after operator has advised
"Marketplace". It's also the hope of "Marketplace" that,
after removing the $10 "service charge" off the top of
every collection, operators will arrange for a more equit-
able split of the balance of the collection, like 70/JO,
70% to the operator.
But first things first. The one big job ahead for all
operators today, before they find themselves in the most
horrible financial difficulties, is to :rearrange their
present operating procedure so that they can continue on
in this indust-ry on a surer profit basis. The one way to
get to that position is to immediately advise all loca-
tions that $5 of the location's money and $5 of the op-
erator's money will come off the top of every collection
to create the $10 "service charge" which is desperately
needed by all operators to assure survival in business.
