I am working in a phone repair shop during the summer, I will stop after summer however I would like to think that I could work there in the future again and use my boss as a reference.
I have made minimal mistakes probably costing up to €35. I am currently being paid under the table and below minimum wage.
I have made a piece of automation software that would reduce time spent on an integral part of the business, dramatically.
When I first mentioned creating the software I didnt talk about money, So I reckon he expects it to be free.
How do I bring up selling my software to him without damaging relations.

uhm.. very carefully??

I was thinking of pricing the software based on man hours saved.
E.g If this software wasnt used the owner would spend approx. 5hrs using it.
Should I cost it at €50 .
€10 per hour saved.
The owner is kinda jewing me out, €6.50 an hour and I am fixing phones for him which he prices at >€60

Sell it for whatever because he prob won't pay anything serious for it since you are doing a job that requires a bit of information that needs to be taught. You should prob be getting paid like 10hr since it's under the table anyway. You should focus on getting a better job.
Although to be fair I'm pretty sure there is a torrent to learn everything about phone repair in like 2 hours that I've seen out there. Try doing this shit on your own for side income.
Then use that money on meme stocks and crypto currency.

Ya he should probably be paying me €10 an hour.
I will say that watching Youtube videos will teach you almost everything you need to know. There isnt quite anything as good as first hand knowledge being passed onto you.
The small tips, putting electric tape in certain areas of the screen for getting increased leverage for raising screens.
I am going to post some things that I have created that I will not ""give"" to my employer.

If it's worth anything at all and not just 10 lines of bash or something, then don't fucking sell it. You license it to him and whoever else you can, for the largest possible fraction of the human labor costs that it replaces. If you sell it to him and he's a semi-competant businessman, that's exactly what he'll do, right after he fires you.

Oh shit nah 10usd an hour not euros. I guess like 8-9 euros. Your skill isn't that worthwhile since anyone can do it and the time it takes to begin is very short.
Side business I'm telling you. Mr pajeet isn't going to pay shit for your code.

lol,
Ideas: Create a CRM system.
Creating tickets. Simple HTML forms, that you enter data into. Phone, model, problem, possible diagnosis. Customers phone number.
This data entered into a database on my server. Server side script prints three barcodes. 1. For the customer, put it on a business card, looks professional. 2. For the back of the phone keep track of it in workshop. 3. For a takaway lunchbox, put barcode label on lid, allows you to keep track of the customers device easier.
I have added a script to allow barcode scanning to input into a search bar into my website. You can scan a lunchbox, phone, customers ticket. And all info pops up.
I have also added the option that you can scan a barcode while working and add updates to the Database so that when It comes to checkout you are easily reminded of what you did.
This shit is worth a lot of money.

Its not a Pajeet, thats one selling point of my owners business.
I live in Ireland, there is another phone shop operated by some eastern europeans in my town.
People prefer coming and doing business with an Irish local businesses than an unknown face.
Idea: There are a couple of phone network provider companies in my hometown, three, lyca mobile, Vodafone, meteor.
The shops seem to refer an awful lot of customers to our phone repair shop.
I have created a scraping tool that gets best price from various marketplaces
If a customer pops in we show them the screen. Show them our marketplace with our shops logo. Prices are all original price and our 'high' markup.
They are happy buying from a shop face to face, if a customer wants a case that isnt already in stock we simply say that its coming from an irish supplier and should be here in a few days.
They are always happy with our arrangement.
At the moment we simply go to ebay and find cases and add markup I believe this idea could be used in store and for online selling if people come from the facebook links.

Stock control: At the moment stock names are collected into a mothafucking huge excel file.
I could script a tool to create product codes, abbreviation of the product name.
Using the product name and code, upload all into my previously mentioned CRM database.
Then create the barcode for all stock server side print them out en masse and tag them everywhere.
If repairing a phone scan barcode of the new screen part. The Job detail cost would increases by value of the part. Afterwards the stock control Database, "iphone 5 lcd digitiser" depleted by one.
Have triggers, if parts of "object1" get low. Send notification to "Jewish Boss"
