hm actually profits on drinks aren’t as good as I was expecting. if I’m seeing correctly, a 5 gallon box of Pepsi syrup costs $105
if I do my math correcy that comes to $3.5/gallon (1 part syrup, 5 parts water)
we sell that (best price) $8.38/gallon and worst price ~$20/gallon
so yeah actually for the medium drinks that’s a crazy profit margin of what like 85%? add to that the fact that there’s ice, so you’re not actually getting the cup full, I wouldn’t be surprised with a margin of like 95%
that’s why I give those for free half the time lol
can’t really find anything else, not sure how to read these charts
When I used to work fast food, my manager told me that the most expensive component of a soft drink is the ice. Syrup & (filtered) water are pennies, but ice requires electricity to maintain and it’s a little more expensive than you’d think.

that’s funny but I wouldn’t be surprised
Someone explained a long time ago to me how it’s 95-99% profit due to exactly what numbers you described. It’s pretty messed up…
