THE FREE COFFEE MARGIN CHECK
What’s really left from every coffee you sell?
Add your own recipe and prices. See the contribution from one cup, then explore what a small menu or waste change could mean across a week.
THE MONEY IN ONE CUP
Here’s what’s left.
Contribution after the direct ingredients and packaging you entered.
Before labour, rent, equipment, merchant fees and other overheads. This is not net profit.
Measured bean + milk waste included: — per cup.
TEST A CHANGE
What if you adjusted the mix?
Change the assumptions below. This is a comparison, not a forecast of customer behaviour.
Volume change starts at 0%. Only change it if you have a reason to expect a different number of cups.
Before labour and overheads. Price, waste and volume effects are combined; actual sales may differ.
MAKE THE RESULT USEFUL
Three checks for your next shift.
- Check the real dose.Weigh several shots, then compare average grams used with your recipe.
- Measure the leftovers.Track dial-in, jug milk and remakes for a week; divide by cups sold.
- Revisit the other costs.Add labour, rent, card fees and overheads in your own accounts before deciding on price.
