Fast food is now distributed not only in large cities, but also in provincial towns. There are a large number of branches from this type of activity. But every year, stalls and establishments attracting their customers with the “delicious” name “Hot Pastries” become more and more popular. Fast food of such a plan will be of interest to everyone: both office workers who do not have time for a full lunch during the working day, or just strolling people who decide to have a bite to eat.
Choose a point of sale
It is very important to pay attention to the passability level of the selected place. For this purpose, airports, railway and bus stations, clothing and food markets, shopping and office centers are best suited. It is not recommended to place such establishments in sleeping areas : in this way you yourself will reduce your income by 2.5 times! The minimum area that the outlet will occupy is 4 sq.m. Such establishments are always welcome on the territory of large stores, as they help attract new customers.
Equipment
In order to produce and sell fast food, you need the following set of equipment:
- convection oven (power ~ 3.33 kW / h);
- freezer chest;
- proofer for raising frozen semi-finished products and their defrosting (power ~ 1.1 kW / h);
- racks and display cases where trays with ready-made pastries will be placed;
- cash machine;
- water dispenser.
Performance
The time proofing on average takes from 40 minutes to an hour. The baking process - 15-20 minutes. This set of equipment is capable of producing approx. 100 units 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 mid-spring to the last days of autumn. In the hottest summer days there is a decline in demand by 15-30%, however, sweet cakes with soft drinks continue to diverge "with a bang."
Staff
In the first stages of work, it will be enough to hire only a few sellers for all points. The average salary of the seller is about $ 200 per month. As a rule, a seller receives from 400 rubles a day, and for a smaller amount someone is unlikely to agree to work. As your business grows, you may also need the services of a security guard and a loader. They will have to pay about $ 300 a month.
Range
Fast food attracts people with its diversity. Therefore, work hard so that at each point your customers can purchase at least 15 varieties of products. You should know that in the morning sweet cakes are best sold, at the height of the working day - meat, and closer to the evening - pastries stuffed with potatoes, cabbage, etc. This is also worth considering.
Profit
Initially, in order to open a point of sale, to purchase manufacturing and storing fast food equipment, you will need about 2-3 thousand dollars. Basically, not counting the lease, the funds are spent on the purchase and maintenance of equipment and staff salaries. Ingredients for making pies and other hot pastries cost relatively little. For a month from one point of sale it is actually possible to 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 that is guaranteed to pay off itself and will consistently bring you the expected income.
