First day sale not bad

Yes that is normal after all The shop is new. It's the sales after 6 months

Bragging would not do your business any good

I congrat Irfan2397 on his new shop and wish him/her well too. It'll be great for all of us if Irfan2397 keeps us updated on the business and could share with us the up and downs on the operation side.

After you mix powder with low fat milk, how long you wait before you pour into the soft serve machine? What is the acidity?

I dont know about the acidity,But after we mix it,We will wait for 5minutes before we pour into the machines ,Btw we dont use powder,we use fresh yogurt

How much yogurt per 3 liter of milk?

Depends on the flavour.Normally between 1kg-3kg

I never tried any of these yogurt before in my life. I guess the uhm or marketing tool to attract one isn't there.
When I think of Yogurt, I think of those Nestle yogurt which I can get in 7-11, a No-no.
But if a cup cost about RM 10 bucks based on the picture, I say it is reasonable, But if it's a self service, I doubt I can prepare it so well la..

I, myself is a coffee fan.
I drink Starbucks so often, I can say I spend more than 100bucks a month on it for RM 15-17 a cup
Now with a loyalty card (Starbucks card) I go there even more often, and working in a service industry,
I spend my clients Starbucks .With its loyalty card, (buy 10 free 1), I am actually getting my company to pay 10 cups, to get myself a free drink. A true marketing strategy.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy my clients coffee at all! That is my personal experience.

But if I am comparing a business model between a coffee and yogurt.
I would assume that (without any research done) coffee would bring more profit.

A coffee bean has a very long expiry date (1-2 years is possible if the pack isnt open) , if business isn't good , the beans wouldn't be easily expiry,
I am not sure about Yogurt or fruits, How long can the ingredients last? If its a few months, then calculating the orders is very important.
Well overcharging is definitely a good way to cover waste

A handful of coffee beans can sell a cup for RM 10 - RM 15 bucks. I say the gross profit is definitely very high,
Labor wise, it is the same, both need a cashier and someone to refill stock or brew. Stabucks only hire 2-3 pax per shop per day.
Rental cost are the same, renovations cost, varies. But I like Starbucks better in it's interior.
What about Yogurt? What is the gross profit per cup? How many cups needs to be sold to cover the overhead cost?

In terms of market target,
I've just read about 5 pages of the forum, and I can say about 70% isnt willing to return because it is overpriced, meaning not much are willing to spend personal income on Yogurt.
If targeting healthy people, why not Salad or Gelatomio ice cream? The rum and raisins is soo good
If you are targeting working people I would definitely bring my clients to Starbucks to discuss business models instead of Yogurt.
Maybe, I feel safe and professional to bring client to discuss business over coffee compared to Yogurt.
Never hear someone discuss business over Yogurt before.. it sounds weird, maybe I will check the stall one day, but if its self service, its worst.
You don't want yourself to go over the counter and get messy. I prefer to order and wait for my F&B to be ready than making a mess myself.

Those are my feedback, well business is business, with the right location and even if Yogurt can only capture a small amount 0.001% of market in a highly populated area,
Who says it cant make money? After all it's a take-away business, you don't need a huge space to gain profit.

Unless the eatery is exceptional that customers are willing to travel from far away else need repeated customers to stay in business.

It is unfortunate that many newly opened eatery are more keen to have pay back period in less than a year than affordable priced for customers to return.

hi irfan,

in terms of quality between snogurt vs tutti fruiti, which one more healthy? did your training cover this comparisons?

any help? thanks.

We are trained not to condem other product ,But what i learn that is Tf is using fullcream vs Snogurt using Low-fat milk.Somemore we dont use white sugar we use brown sugar, and what i know is,TF is using powder yogurt while we is using Fresh Yogurt ,SO i could say that snogurt is healthier.Our calory shown that,less than 100calories per 100gm of yogurt

too expensive... sorry..no chance for Tutti

One can of 330ml coke has 139 calories.

http://www.coca-cola.co.uk/brands/coca-cola.html

It seems frozen yogurt calories is more than double of coke.

Based on his earlier post of 750 grams per setting. Each 100ml has 25 grams of sugar.
25 grams of sugar is 100calories already not including the milk calories and the yogurt.

The Maths don't add up on calorie count? May need to double check on this

wow....opening own business and not even focusing on ur own business full time....1 criteria for business wind up-checked....i tell u wat...if im ur parent i'll simply open an Overdraft account on their land/banglo lot as collateral and with the overdraft capital invest on strategic location property....flip upon completion...u'll make far better return than this kind of business....
