Choose a trading point

It is very important to pay attention to the level of patency of the selected place. The best are for this purpose airports, railways and bus stations, clothing and food markets, shopping and office centers. It is not recommended to place such establishments in sleeping areas : thus you will reduce your income by 2.5 times! The minimum area that will be occupied by the outlet is 4 sq.m. Such places are always welcome in the territory of large stores, as they help attract new customers.

Equipment

In order to produce and sell fast food, you will need the following set of equipment:

• Convection oven (power ~ 3.33 kW / h);
• Freezer chest;
• A cabinet for raising frozen semi-finished products and their defrosting (power ~ 1.1 kW / h);
• Racks and showcases where trays with finished bakery will be placed;
• cash machine;
• water dispenser.

Performance

Proofing takes about 40 minutes to an hour on average. The baking process is 15-20 minutes. This set of equipment is capable of producing approx. 100 pieces of goods per hour.

Seasonality

Pies and other pastries are almost always relevant. The exception is, perhaps, only 10 days during the New Year holidays. The most favorable time is considered to be the interval from the middle of spring to the last days of autumn. In the hottest summer days there is a decline in demand for 15-30%, but sweet pies with soft drinks continue to disperse "with a bang."

Staff

At the first stages of the work, it will be enough to hire only a few sellers for all points. The average salary of the seller is about 200 dollars a month. Typically, the day the seller receives from 400 rubles, and for a smaller amount of work someone is unlikely to agree. As the business develops, you may also need the services of a security guard and a longshoreman. They will have to pay about 300 dollars a month.

Range

Fast food attracts people with its diversity. Therefore, take the trouble to ensure that at each point your customers can purchase at least 15 varieties of products. You should know that in the morning the sweet pies are best sold, at the height of the working day - meat, and towards evening - baking with stuffing from potatoes, cabbage, etc. This is also worth considering.

Profit

Initially, in order to open a point of sale, purchase manufacturing and storing fast food equipment, you will need about 2-3 thousand dollars. In general, not including rent, the funds go to purchase and maintenance of equipment and salaries to staff. Ingredients for cooking pies and other hot baked goods are relatively small. For a month from one point of sales, you can actually earn up to 300-500 dollars in profit.

Based on all of the above, we can conclude that fast food is an extremely profitable investment of funds, which is guaranteed to pay for itself and will consistently bring you the expected income.
