PortionMargin

FAQ and troubleshooting

Answers for common quote setup questions.

These answers explain how PortionMargin organizes baker-entered assumptions, calculation review, and customer-safe output. They are product guidance for using the app, not tax, accounting, legal, health, safety, regulated financial, or business-success advice.

Common questions

Review inputs, assumptions, and output before using a quote.

Pricing inputs and assumptions

Check ingredient costs, labor time, packaging, utilities, delivery or other extras, overhead, target margin, quote validity, and customer notes before relying on a quote.

Unit conversions and costing

Confirm the package amount, recipe usage amount, and unit choice match the order. If a result looks unusual, review the entered amount and package price before using the total.

Quote preview and sharing

Customer-facing quote text should keep price, order context, quote validity, and customer notes clear while internal costs, formulas, margin targets, and working notes stay private to the baker.

Saved history and defaults

Saved values and defaults are reviewable starting points. Confirm reused assumptions still fit the current customer request before using a quote.

Local data and support safety

PortionMargin's app posture is local-first by default. Public-site support or feedback messages are separate from app-local data and are sent only when the visitor intentionally uses the selected contact path.

App Store and route status

The App Store link remains a launch-status placeholder until final metadata is ready. Support, feedback, company, privacy, and terms routes are available now as static public pages.

Troubleshooting

What to check when a quote looks wrong.

  1. 1

    Review the entered quantities

    Confirm package sizes, recipe usage amounts, order quantity, labor time, and extras are entered for the same order context.

  2. 2

    Check assumptions before sharing

    Treat rounding, validation prompts, and quote totals as signals to review. PortionMargin organizes the calculation, but the baker decides whether the quote is ready to use.

  3. 3

    Keep customer output clean

    If internal costs, margin targets, or working notes appear in customer-facing copy, revise the quote before sending it.
