i'm thinking of opening a taxi company, someone else wants to partner up. we'll buy 10 taxis together. but how will driver management revenue split and insurance costs be divided? is there a contract ready for us?

standard method: set a 'standard time' for each job, write it down for the customer. follow up.

if you're struggling, ask other shop owners. they're your best guides. no magic bullet.

stats: if you hire staff, costs go up 40%, but output can increase by 60%. net: +20%.

procedure: first create a written policy. have the customer sign it. then implement.

to do this job: 1) ask the customer. 2) get the answer. 3) do it. easy.

bro i've been at it 20 years here's my advice: don't overthink. tbh just do what you gotta do and go.

edit: typed from phone, sorry for typos.

these types of questions are always the same: decide do, either succeed or fail.

There's one point I'm curious about. When you try to change everything at once, nothing settles.

The answer varies greatly by industry; there is no one-size-fits-all rule. Of course, it varies if your situation is different.

Following. The real issue isn't the number, but what it's based on.

Just leaving this note, it might be useful.

The discussion got scattered, let me summarize. When making a decision, first look at what data you have on hand.

Proven by experience.

thanks for writing this, thats the rgiht way. give trial work but pay for it; free trials dont bind anyone.

The most overlooked point about taxi company partnership is this: Processes without records never improve, because you don't know what to fix.

When you try to change everything at once nothing settles. I'm also curious if anyone does it differently.

there's a trap here, let me mention it and like the biggest time-waster for us was not knowing who had the final say.

Sorry, but this doesn't apply in every case. Trying to do this alone is the most expensive way.

Everything goes well for the first three months; problems arise in the fourth. Hope this helps.
