Gemmill 47062 Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 Parky man, there's just no way on earth that the cost of a cappucino is that low, taking into account all of the costs required to run one of these places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I know a lad who has a Costa (iirc) Coffee franchise for his sandwich shop. The mark-up on that stuff is fucking ludicrous. Probably the same lad Alex. His brother had to get it taken out of the Benfield road shop as it was just to expensive for the clientèle around there. I'm sure it's about 8p a cup buy in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it 10p then. Wasnt the point that the coffee itself was that price anyway, not the average cost of the shop? I.e the raw ingredient cost of a cup of coffee. I'd say 10p was about right.

Park Life 71 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Your mobile cost about 70p to make. And how'd you figure that one out? Using the same method as the 5p per coffee? My cousin imports them from Korea and Hong Kong. Got tired of being a postie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's about 8p a cup buy in Aye, John - that's him. And that's the place on Benfield Rd. Actually, wor sis told me his brother runs the shop now but John was telling me how little it cost him per cup. 8p might have been it. That's how much Costa charged him btw, before anyone starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walliver 0 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I expect he's roughly right for the price of a cup of coffee if he/you/the shop doesn't include wages etc. The reason for the huge mark up is to cover all these extra costs that go into making the coffee and getting it to your table.

Not at all, that's the cost of the base product, not taking into account staff wages, rent, taxes, utilities etc, etc. Fuck me, it's not brain surgery.

I'm sure Mark told me it was 8p but he got it taken out and a Pumphreys machine put in as his main bread and butter are Crosslings staff and they just haven't got £2's to be spending on cups of coffee.

Parky's point being that the municipal (?) authorities in Hamburg help the coffee shop owner with these costs, making it canny profitable. If the amount of thriving coffee shops in Berlin is anything to go by, sounds like a plan to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right. I don't know Mark but John is a good lad. Canny funny too (canny dodgy anarl ). He was at my sister's for her birthday the other week. His lass used to work with my sis.
