COFFEE CART · BREAK-EVEN
How many cups before you're square?
A cart has one question every morning, and it isn't what a cup costs — it's how many you have to sell before you've paid for the day. Put your numbers in and it works itself out. Nothing leaves this device.
01 · WHAT THE DAY COSTS YOU
Pitch or site fee, a day
Your hours today
Staff hours today
Staff rate, $ an hour
Everything else, a day
Pay yourself, a day
Put a figure in for yourself. A cart that only breaks even after paying everyone else isn't breaking even.
02 · WHAT A CUP COSTS YOU
Beans, $ per kg
Dose per shot, grams
Shots in the cup
Shots poured away a day
Milk, $ per litre
Milk in the cup, ml
Cup, lid and sugar
What you charge
Is GST inside that price?
03 · A GOOD DAY
On a good day you sell
Your own number, not a target. What a day like that clears works out below.
04 · WHAT IT SAYS
AND IF IT'S USEFUL
Send me a week of your figures and I'll do it properly.
No charge for the first one, nothing to sign, and the workbook is yours to keep. Twenty-five years in kitchens, now on the costing side.
