Price and Salary

Setting Up Pricing in TEQ

TEQ allows you to build a flexible and transparent pricing structure by combining base pricing with dynamic variables. Pricing is configured in two main areas:

• Price Calculator → Defines your base pricing logic
• Variables → Automatically adjust prices based on time, demand, or location

Together, these tools ensure your pricing aligns with both operational costs and business strategy.

Step 1: Configure the Price Calculator

1. Go to Settings → Price and Salary.
2. Open the Price Calculator tab.
3. Enter your desired values in the available fields.

Available Options

• Minimum Price
• • Set a base fare that applies to every trip (e.g. 2000 NOK), regardless of duration or distance.
• Tolls
  Choose when toll costs are added:
• • 🚍 From the moment the bus leaves the garage
  • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 From the first customer pickup
• Overtime
• • Define when overtime pricing begins (based on time or duration).

💡 Tip: The Price Calculator is fully customizable and forms the foundation of all trip pricing.

Step 2: Add Variables

Variables allow TEQ to automatically adjust prices based on predefined conditions.

1. Go to Settings → Price and Salary.
2. Open each Variable and configure how it should affect pricing.

Common Variable Types

• 🌞 Seasonal pricing
  Adjust prices for holidays or peak travel periods.
• 🌙 Night shifts
  Apply higher rates for late-night or overnight trips.
• 📅 Weekends
  Add surcharges for Saturdays and Sundays.
• ⏰ Inconvenient time
  Set special pricing for urgent, short-notice, or high-demand hours.
• 📍 Location-based pricing
  Apply pricing rules for trips within a specific radius or geographical area.

Step 3: Build a Custom Pricing Model

By combining the Price Calculator and Variables, you can:

• Apply fixed base fares with automatic adjustments
• Reflect demand patterns and operating hours
• Ensure correct pricing for night, weekend, or urgent trips
• Compensate drivers fairly for off-peak or special assignments
