Only 0 of these are filled in. The more you add, the closer the per-order figure gets to what an order really costs you.

Overhead is what you pay whether or not the phone rings. Spread it across the orders you actually take, then add it on top of ingredients and your time to find your real floor.

Overhead only works if you know your order count. BakerInbox counts them for you.
