> [@badazzss](#): > > if you are paying $ 2 each, and selling for $ 4, isn’t that 100% profit… not 30-35%? i know restaurants make a lot of their profit off drinks and the such, but dayummmm. lol > > really u should be paying like 1.25 each (if possible) and selling for $ 2, those will sell out. > > on topic: thats a crazy ass supplement. i don’t think it’s healthy based on reading those percentages! I’ll explain it this way.If a large pizza sells for $10,your food cost should be around $3-3.50 for that pie.that would be 30/35%.So it could be also looked at 200% profit.Now say a bucket of wings,if you use quality decent sized wings,w/ BC,celery,containers cost you close to $8-$10 so if you sell them for $18-$20 -$1.75 for tax =16-18.Now when you order10 wings=$$$.Now remember I’l be paying $15,000 for 1 used dbl oven…Once I’m done equiping the way I was,It should be close to $50K. I will be the lowest price pizzeria on the Island and and still try and have a good quality,but those employees,taxes, and insurence aren’t cheap. Hope this helps a little. D ---

> [@Pass McGrass](#): > > In terms of actual cocaine, it’s pretty funny that caffeine was on the same list as coke sometime in the early 1900’s or late 1800’s. 1 drug on the list had to be made illegal and they went with cocaine. > > Funny that caffeine could be illegal right now and cocaine legal. Then you’d have all the whiners like choda and jack saying “omg, caffeine is for losers. Only losers do drugs like caffeine. God, just wake up and have energy naturally, losers.” :lol: you are my hero > [@misteroman$$$](#): > > Really? cool yo.What Should I charge for a drink like this?Remember the average food cost at a pizza shop should be 30-35%.If I’m paying close to $2 each for these,Can I really sell them for $4+ that I should at a minimum? > D the place i been getting them from sells em for 2.50 a can. If you sold it for $3 it still would be worth it for me to come to your place. ---
