⚠️ Labor Overrun Risk
✓ Running Lean
💡 Built from your actual 2025 P&L + known 2026 costs. Overhead now includes labor/helpers. The labor overrun warning fires when unquoted helper time may be silently eating your margin. Lean machine = overhead under 45% of revenue. Always quote labor as a named line item — never eat it.

💡 Mark Paid moves the job to Complete. Send Reminder copies a ready-to-send text message. Jobs marked outstanding are flagged on the Dashboard too.
💡 Snow contracts sold in fall = guaranteed winter cash flow. Even 10 residential contracts at $600/season = $6,000 before you touch a shovel. Start signing contracts in September.

Data Backup & Restore
Export — save everything
Downloads a single backup file containing all your jobs, mow logs, winter data, and rates. Save it to iCloud, Google Drive, or email it to yourself. Use this before switching phones.
Import — restore from backup
Load a previously exported backup file. This will replace all current data — export first if you want to keep what's here.
💡 Recommended routine: Export a backup once a week and save to iCloud or Google Drive. If you ever get a new phone or something goes wrong, you can restore everything in seconds.
