The savings I make pay for the coffee machine each 3 months, so no, a $600 coffee machine isn't expensive!

If $600 a day are your total costs, and the profit per cup is $.38 (1.00-.62), then you if you sell 1579 cups a day the rest is profit. If you are simply pouring cup out of a giant urn it's probably physically possible to do a cup a minute, though 8 hours of that might require a special person. If it gets too busy, then you have two people pouring coffee. If the are not making espresso drinks I wouldn't call the staff "baristas." The big problem is getting all the business to come in the door.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
