Your opportunity, in real time

Choose your format. Make it yours.

Start with the business model, serving method, and three sales drivers. Then review the operating costs behind the result.

Choose a business format

Choose the setup closest to your plans. We’ll load a practical starting point, and you can change every number.

Events / Kiosk starting pointBuilt around event-based selling with a percentage venue fee and annual insurance/travel overhead.
How will customers add flavors?

Compare a traditional pour-bottle setup with a faster self-serve Flavor Station.

Planning capacity: about 180 cups per worker-hour with a Flavor Station, with a small added syrup cost. Actual speed depends on your team, equipment, and service flow.

Think about an average operating day, not your best day.

Range, not a promise

See how volume changes the season.

A single forecast can create false confidence. This range holds your price and costs steady while showing quieter, current, and stronger sales volume.

Planning noteWeather, location, event mix, local demand, uptime, and execution can materially change results.

What the estimate includes

A useful estimate separates product costs from the recurring expenses of operating the business. Here’s exactly what is included.

01

Sales

Cups sold × blended selling price × operating days.

02

Direct costs

Product, disposables, and card processing tied to each sale.

03

Operating costs

Labor and event or location fees for each day, plus seasonal overhead.

04

Planning result

Revenue less selected costs. Equipment, debt, owner taxes, and depreciation remain outside the estimate.

Total revenue−Direct costs−Operating costs=Estimated operating profit*

Good questions

Before you plan around the number

Is this a forecast or a guarantee?

Neither. It is an interactive planning estimate based on the assumptions you enter. Actual sales, costs, and profitability vary by market, location, event mix, weather, pricing, management, and other factors.

Can I change the starting assumptions?

Yes. Each format begins with a practical planning baseline, and every important assumption is editable. Selecting the Flavor Station slightly increases the product-cost estimate to account for its typical syrup usage. Confirm current local costs before making a business decision.

What expenses are not included?

Unless you add them to seasonal overhead, the estimate excludes equipment purchases, loan payments, depreciation, owner income taxes, and costs unique to your market or setup.

What should I do with the result?

Use it to test assumptions and prepare better questions. The business-plan wizard is the next step for matching the opportunity to your preferred setup and goals.

*Estimated operating profit means revenue less the product, processing, labor, event/location, and seasonal overhead assumptions shown in this tool. It is not net income, a projection, or a guarantee. Actual results vary. Confirm local pricing, fees, wages, taxes, insurance, permits, and equipment costs before making a business decision.
