Session P&L & break-even

What each skate makes, before and after.

Every session has a profit-and-loss story: revenue (the split) minus the ice, minus card fees. Carve shows it before you book and after it runs.

Break-even preview (before you book)

While booking ice, a live preview answers "does this session make money?" as you change the inputs:

  • Add/remove skaters → the split and margin update.
  • Change the ice cost, fee, or capacity → the break-even point moves (how many skaters you need to clear the ice).
  • You see the profit at the current roster before you commit.

This is what keeps you from booking a half-empty session that loses money on the ice.

Session P&L card (after it runs)

Open a session and the Session P&L card breaks down what it actually made:

  • Revenue — total of every family's split.
  • Ice cost — what you paid for the sheet.
  • Fees — card processing where applicable.
  • Net — what you kept.

Why per-session P&L matters

Coaching income hides in aggregates. Seeing each session's net makes the expensive rink, the under-filled slot, and the fee-eating payment method obvious — one skate at a time. The patterns across all sessions live in Profitability & economics.
