Audience: Lab Owners • Technicians • Managers
“My team is working hard. We’re doing pretty good. They feel productive, I guess. We’re getting a lot of cases out the door.”
Every lab owner says this at some point.
It sounds confident — but underneath it lies uncertainty.
Because “pretty good” isn’t a strategy.
And “hard work” isn’t a success metric. It’s often a symptom of friction.
Your Revenue-Per-Technician (RPT) is more than just a financial number.
It’s the “Dignity & Respect” metric — a reflection of how efficiently your lab runs and how respected your technicians feel in their daily work.
Here’s the math:
RPT = Total Annual Revenue ÷ Number of Full-Time Technicians
Now look at your number.
Is it $120,000? $150,000?
In a calm, automated, product-led lab, that figure should be $200,000–$250,000+ per technician.
The difference between your current RPT and that benchmark is the cost of your chaos — the emotional and financial tax your lab pays every day for cluttered systems, manual processes, and preventable rework.
A low RPT means your technicians spend too much time chasing files, clarifying unclear Rxs, or redoing work that wasn’t their fault.
A high RPT means your team is in flow — respected, empowered, and focused on what they do best: artistry and precision.
Fixing your RPT isn’t about squeezing more output from tired people.
It’s about restoring dignity to the bench.
Your RPT quietly exposes every hidden inefficiency in your business.
It reflects:
All your operational challenges roll up into this one, undeniable number.
You don’t “fix” RPT — you unleash it.
When your systems flow, your team naturally performs at their highest potential.
Here’s how you get there:
Automate clerical work.
When you eliminate repetitive admin tasks like downloading scans, managing spreadsheets, and sorting Rxs, you give your technicians back 25% of their day.
That’s time instantly converted into billable work — without hiring anyone new.
Bad data equals bad outcomes.
When your systems catch incomplete Rxs and unclear margins before production starts, your technicians stop wasting time fixing preventable errors.
Every hour they spend on new, billable cases instead of remakes directly raises your RPT.
Scattered communication is silent sabotage.
Every text thread, missed email, and last-minute change drags your team out of their flow.
By centralizing communication, you eliminate distractions and keep your technicians doing what they love — crafting exceptional restorations.
