150 candles ÷ 18/hr = 8.3 hrs. You have ~5 hrs blocked this week.
Here's what I'd do
Move 40 candles to next week's batch and confirm the date with the buyer.

Do You Actually Know What One Piece Pays Your Hands?
Six questions. Materials, fees, time, the price you charge. The True Cost Check does the honest arithmetic most makers have never seen written down — and what the piece would need to cost for you to keep making it.
Take the True Cost CheckInari says
$5.56/hr
That's what a real maker's sticker sheet was paying her — less than half of what she said her time was worth. She'd never seen the number before. Now she prices on purpose.
And when a product can't pay at a price the market will bear, Inari says that too — with better levers than "make it cheaper."
What Inari is
The Number Is the Beginning. Inari Is the System Behind It.
A Workspace, Not a Dashboard
Costing, orders, studio inventory, bookkeeping, CRM, wholesale outreach and planning — one operational hub that knows how your business fits together, because the same memory feeds all of it.
A Fractional OBM You Can Afford
Big commercial operations have teams for costing, logistics and planning. You get an AI-driven learning model that does that job — minus the salary. It's the back office a tiny maker can't usually hire.
It Learns How You Work
The more you use it, the sharper it gets. It learns your batches, your suppliers, your rhythms — and its advice gets more specific to your business, not more generic.
How it works
Know. Watch. Recommend. You Approve.
01
It Learns Your Business
Tell Inari about your products, materials, prices and time — in plain language. It turns messy maker knowledge into structured business memory, and asks when something's missing instead of guessing.
02
It Keeps an Eye on Things
Inari watches your memory continuously and tells you the two or three things that actually matter today — a margin problem, a low material, a money gap — before it becomes an emergency.
03
You Stay in Charge
Every number comes with a 'show me why' — the facts, the assumptions, the arithmetic. Inari prepares the move, you approve it. Nothing happens behind your back.
What's inside
Sixteen Modules. One Business Memory Underneath All of Them.
Today
One calm page that knows what needs you — the two or three things that matter, not a wall of charts.
Cost
Recipes, batches, purchase units, waste and fees turned into honest per-piece economics. Every number has a 'show me why.'
Orders
Wholesale orders tracked from confirmed to paid — materials ready, production, QC, packed, shipped, invoiced.
Materials
Stock on hand in the units you actually use, with low-stock warnings before they bite.
Studio
Production runs and finished-goods inventory. Log a batch, and stock, waste and materials all update themselves.
Planner & Calendar
A Monday–Friday week board Inari drafts for you, plus a full calendar. Weekends stay yours.
Money
Full bookkeeping: transactions, invoices, accounts, recurring expenses and year-end reports. CSV import for what you already track.
Budget & Forecast
Monthly budget, ten-year projections, and an AI advisor you can ask what to adjust.
Seasons
Plan October in July. Work-back dates, capacity reality-checks, and newsletter drafts.
Customers (CRM)
Every buyer and stockist in one place — history, value, and who hasn't heard from you in too long.
Shipping
A fulfillment queue that turns finished orders into shipped, tracked, invoiced parcels.
Wholesale Outreach
Contacted, samples sent, follow-ups and won/lost — plus a weekly outreach ritual so the pipeline never goes cold.
Time
Log making hours per product and per order, so your real hourly rate stops being a guess.
Goals & Capacity
Set revenue targets and Inari checks them against the hours you actually have.
Listings
Listing copy drafted from your product data — in your voice, never generated 'brand voice.'
Weekly Review
A guided end-of-week ritual: what sold, what slipped, and the one thing to do next week.
Everything connects. The recipe you build in Cost feeds the material warnings in Today, the capacity check in Seasons, and the profit line in Budget. Enter it once — Inari uses it everywhere.
The line we don't cross
Inari Runs the Business. It Never Makes the Art.
Artisans and traditional crafters are being priced and squeezed out of their own markets — not because they lack the talent and experience, but because larger, more sophisticated commercial operations have teams for costing, logistics, compliance and pricing, and the maker has a notebook and a midnight spreadsheet.
Inari exists to close that gap. It will never suggest cheapening your work, mass-producing it, or automating the craft itself. The AI handles the operations so you can keep crafting — and keep traditions alive on your own terms.
Small By Choice. Global by Design.
