You should expect to wrap up your childs shift about 30 minutes after the end of the shift to figure out their sales, expenses, commissions/profits and tips. Your child will be guided through either a Profit & Loss statement (Jack's Stands) or a Commission statement (Jack's Marketplaces). Once done, a duplicate copy will be made for you, with a set of concepts/definitions that your child experienced to review, if you like, later.

What can my child expect to earn?

Jack's Marketplaces & Stands is an unique opportunity for your child to learn about and experience operating their own business. We wish to put the primary focus on this great and unique learning experience and having fun; and not being soley focused on money. With that said, it is important that businesses make money for their time and effort. We are unable to guarantee you or your child any set amount they can earn, but between profits (Jack's Stands) or commissions (Jack's Marketplaces) and tips kids typically earn between $20 to $50, or more.
