Deciding how many jobs to book per tech per day
A way to set a daily job count from your own history instead of guessing.
Set a daily job count from your own numbers
- Pull the last 30 days. List each job with its actual start and finish time.
- Include drive time. Travel between jobs is part of the day, not extra.
- Find the typical day. Use the middle of your results, not your best day.
- Hold back a buffer. Leave room for one job that runs long or an emergency call.
- Review monthly. Adjust the count after busy and slow stretches.
Common questions
Should every tech have the same number?
Not necessarily. Experience and job type change the pace.
What if customers want a full schedule?
Offer the next honest opening rather than overbooking a day.
