As a trade service provider I, like many others, base my service prices off of measurements (linear feet) rather than time. It would be immensely beneficial to add this functionality into the square services feature.
My company primarily cleans eavestroughs and our price is fixed at $0.69/ft. We know that we are able to clean 150ft per hour. Ideally, when creating and invoice or appointment I would simply enter the linear feet of the eavestroughs that I needed to clean and the price and time would automatically populate.
For example:
If I am creating an appointment for cleaning 225ft of eavestroughs I would simply add the "Gutter Cleaning" service and enter 225 under its quantity. With this I would automatically be presented with an appointment time of 1.5 hours and a total price of $155.25.
This functionality would help roofers, gutter installers, surface cleaners, floor installers, window cleaners and most other trade service providers.
I hope you take this recommendation into consideration.
Thank you,
