You miss out a few things
1) Electricity and water expense?
2) Materials supply?
3) Your booth/stall setup?
Your monthly expenses is RM2.2k (labour + rental). You plus item no. 1 and no.2 you have your monthly expenses.
Can you estimate how much you can sell and how much you want to charge per cup and per waffer?

Tror,

Your target market is students, and you are selling your goods at above average price. Tell me, are you opening up in Sunway or Monash area? doh.gif

The IDEAL price to achieve your above estimated volume would be RM2.50 for bubble tea and RM2 for wafer. Anything more than that, students will not buy, unless you open up in the 2 areas mentioned.

"i estimate will get around 35cups of bubble tea per day and 30 waffer.. which give me profit of Rm165 per day and Rm4950 per month"

Tell me, which college has classes 7 days a week, 30 days per month? Unless you are opening up in the student accommodation, then you might be able to achieve sales every day. Also, for 35 cups of bubble tea and 30 pieces of wafers, your daily profit would only be RM90 (on the assumption that your price at RM2.50 and RM2). Your monthly profit based on 20 days would be RM1,800. Deduct your rental and the salary, you will be at a loss. That is not including utilities.

Thx alot for u all advice.., i think is correct tat is not wisely to only sell bubble tea as student can afford to drink every day. so i plan to combine the bubble tea and doin photostating togehter.. so it might help me to increase my profit.. from all ur exp do u think this plan will help to increase profit.?

Tror, you're lack of business experience. You're from the engineering background trying to get your hands on one so you really need to put in a lot of efforts especially in doing research. Not to mention about your product/services that you intend to offer, you're putting yourself in high risk when you have no knowledge at all and yet you plan to have someone(staff) looking over the business. It's not as simple as you think, set up the stall, having someone there to manage on your behalf while you assume based on your calculations you'll be getting that amount of profits every month. Many things that you need to take into considerations.

thx again for your precious advice..it really make me think of deeper at startin up a business.. actually i know i dont any business experience espcially im just a student and from the engineering background but i dont not like to work for others to only get a steady pay cheque every month.. i wanna own a coperation and i wanna expand my business every where around the world..i know will be tough be tats my mission..tongue.gif

my plan now is to get the feeling to doin a business..geting the experinece and face any prob that a business man need to face..i wanna get this expereinece.. hmm..,do you all think maybe i should just join a MLM company to learn about leadership and networking 1st instead of putting this capital to start my business?

THX alot again for everyone who leave a coment to..smile.gif
