offices located close to the coffee shop and on sophisticated
teenagers. market research shows that these are the
customer groups that are most likely to buy coffee products.

16. Break even analysis
How Many Coffees Need to be Sold to Break Even?
To calculate the break even revenue for a coffee shop
business, the break even formula is used as follows:
Break even revenue = Fixed costs
Gross margin percentage
17. Break even analysis
• To Calculate the Gross Margin Percentage
Suppose the coffee shop sells coffee at ₹50.00
(excluding tax), and the variable cost of the materials
(coffee, milk, sugar, cups etc.) used to make the
coffee is ₹20.00, then the gross margin from each
coffee sold is given by:
Gross margin = Sales price – Cost =50.00 – 30.00 = 20.00
18. Break even analysis
• The gross margin percentage is then calculated by
dividing the gross margin by the selling price
Gross margin % = Gross margin
Selling price
= 20
50
= 40%
19. Break even analysis
• Suppose for example the total fixed costs are 1500 per
day, then the coffee shop break even analysis at a 40%
gross margin shows that:
Break even revenue = Fixed costs
Gross margin percentage
Break even revenue = 1500
40%
= 3750
20. Break even analysis
• This means that at ₹50.00 per coffee the
shop must sell 3750/40 = 93.75 coffees.
• So the coffee shop must sell 94 approx.
coffees each day at 50.00 per coffee, to
break even.
Legal expenses for obtaining licenses and permits as well as the accounting services totaling ₹1,00,000.
Marketing promotion expenses for the opening of the coffee shop in the amount of ₹1,50,000 and as well as flyer printing (2,000 flyers at ₹75 per copy i.e. ₹3,000) for the total amount of ₹1,53,000.
Location rent of ₹40,000 per month
Premises remodeling in the amount of ₹1,85,000
Consultants fees of ₹1,00,000 paid to ABC Espresso Services for the help with setting up the coffee bar.
Other start-up expenses including stationery (₹3,000) and phone and utility deposits (₹10,000).
One of the most important things to know when learning how to run a successful coffee shop or preparing a coffee shop business plan is how many coffees the business needs to sell each day in order to break even. With this figure to hand, it is possible to get an idea of the size of the premises needed, the number of coffee machines required and the number of staff necessary to operate the shop.
At break even, the profit from the coffee shop will be zero. When people discuss break even or break even point, they are simply referring to the level of revenue needed to cover the costs of operating the coffee shop business.
To carry out the coffee shop break even analysis and to calculate break even, the business now needs to calculate the total fixed costs of operating the coffee shop. The total fixed costs are basically any operating costs, including wages, salaries, rent, utilities etc. which were not included in the variable material costs used above
