The specific profit depends on the grade and packaging of the popcorn you make.
Popcorn in cinemas, KTVs, bars and other places sells for more than ten yuan to dozens of yuan a piece, and costs about 2-3 yuan a piece. Depending on the size, taste and packaging, the cost will vary. There is a slight difference. But the profit is the highest, increasing several times to dozens of times. Most food businesses cannot achieve this profit margin.
If it is a street stall, one portion is usually three to five yuan, and a pot is seven to eight yuan to more than ten yuan. The net profit is about 60% to 70%. It's on the high side compared to other snacks. And another advantage is that popcorn can be made in dozens of flavors, and customers will not get tired of it easily. Many old customers buy it every week and have developed a consumption habit, making them uncomfortable if they don't eat it. . . So as long as you do this business seriously, it can really become a relatively stable source of income.
In terms of business operations: setting up a stall, opening a small store, building a chain of stalls or chain stores, franchising, wholesale, or distribution, there are many ways available, depending on each person’s personality and ability.
The key is to have machines with high work efficiency, safety and hygiene, low failure rate, easy operation and long life. As well as rich taste and good quality raw materials, as well as patient and meticulous technology and after-sales service.
For example, the most common machine on the market now is a machine modified for non-stick pans. Under the high temperature of gas heating, the coating quickly peels off, turning it into an extra-stick pan. The non-stick coating adheres to the popcorn and can be seriously toxic to the human body if eaten. When heated to more than 200 degrees, the non-stick coating will release toxic gases that can harm the operator and people around the pot;
There are also some popcorn machines modified from pressure cookers, where the pot is in the popcorn area. Rapid deformation under high temperature heating. The pot scale is stuck to the pot body and cannot be brushed or shoveled, causing the pot to get stuck. Some designs even reveal raw materials. Aluminum adheres to the popcorn, which can harm customers' health if they eat it.
Large machines are eye-catching in appearance, but consume a lot of energy and have low efficiency. More than one-third of the gas used to process a pot is wasted. The speed is slow and the output is not large, because no matter how big the pot is, only a small part of the bottom of the pot is heated. The cost of using this kind of machine is too high and the waste is serious.
Therefore, to do this business, you need to first learn more about these industry information, and then choose cost-effective machines and raw materials, as well as professional technology and services. As long as you choose the right one, you can do well.
