What This Is
A quick decision tool for mobile service operators. Enter the job details — service type, distance, vehicle size, add-ons — and get an instant profit calculation with a clear verdict: "Good job," "Borderline," or "Not worth it." Helps solo operators stop accepting low-margin jobs outside their profitable radius.
Mobile service operators price by habit, not by profit. A $150 detail sounds great until you account for 45 minutes of driving each way, fuel, setup time, and supplies. Most operators have never calculated their true hourly earnings per job — and they're often shocked. This tool turns gut instinct into data.
How to Make Yours Different
A traffic-light recommendation system: green (good job), yellow (borderline — consider if it fills a gap), red (not worth it). Instant, visual, decisive
Pre-loaded service packages with realistic cost assumptions so operators don't have to calculate supply costs from scratch every time
An "hourly earnings" output that shows what the operator actually makes per hour on this job after all costs — the number that matters most
Upsell suggestions: "This job is borderline at the quoted price. Adding [ceramic spray/$30] would push it into the green zone"
The Starter Prompt
Copy this into your vibe coding tool. Customize the [bracketed sections] with your industry knowledge.
Build me a "Route Zone Profit Checker" as a single-page web app for solo mobile service operators. Here's what I need: **Core Features:** - Input fields: service package (dropdown), vehicle type or job size, quoted price, estimated drive time each way, estimated job duration, fuel cost estimate, and supply cost estimate - Optional add-on checkboxes with their prices (e.g., pet hair removal, stain treatment, ceramic spray) - Calculated outputs: gross revenue, total direct costs, total time invested (drive + job + setup/cleanup), estimated hourly earnings, and net profit - A clear recommendation badge: "Good Job" (green), "Borderline" (yellow), or "Not Worth It" (red) - Settings panel where the operator configures: default service packages with prices, vehicle size multipliers, minimum acceptable hourly rate, average fuel cost per mile, and standard setup/cleanup time - A "Quick Check" mode for fast estimates between jobs (fewer fields, uses defaults) - Export/share a plain text job summary **Design:** - Designed for phone use between jobs — large inputs, big buttons, one-hand friendly - Clean, practical aesthetic — this is a work tool, not a lifestyle app - The recommendation badge should be large, bold, and immediately visible - Use blue/navy as primary color — professional and gender-neutral **Technical:** - Single HTML file with embedded CSS and JavaScript - All settings and defaults in localStorage - No external APIs needed (no maps integration — the operator knows their drive time) - Should be usable in under 60 seconds **For [YOUR SERVICE TYPE] specifically:** - [Configure default service packages and realistic prices for your market] - [Set up your actual cost assumptions: fuel, supplies, insurance per job, wear on vehicle] - [Add your specific add-on services and their prices]
