webber Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I struggle to make the shooting ground café break even on most shoots. Our prices are as follows: Bacon or sausage barm £2.50 Tea or Coffee £1 I wondered if PW members could post what they pay at their regular grounds for the above items, but please can we keep it simple. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrowning2 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 £2.00 for bacon roll, 50p tea or coffee 80p can of drink. Like you not sure they break even or make any money but it keeps the shooters happy and returning to the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 2.50 for the sandwich, pound for the brew,6 quid for a breakfast i think. You may noy make a profit but some folk wont come if there is no buttie and a brew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger-Mouse Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Varies from ground to ground but anywhere between 50p and £1 for a hot drink, tea, coffee, cupasoup. I think if they charge much more than that they're taking the ****. I very rarely buy food at grounds but from memory £2-£2.50 seems about the average for a bacon sarny.

Fatcatsplat Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Don't run it yourself - See if you can get a tea van in for the morning/day (especially this time of year when there are no boot sales) as they have less wastage - They've got 7 days to get rid of stock, whereas you've only got 1. Get them in for free and maybe then charge a nominal rent if they get busy (or maybe just get a free brekkie yourself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 £0.50-1.20 for tea £2-3 for a roll Could you get a local cafe to sponsor/sub it if you can't break even they could run it and pay no rent but cover gas/elec costs and keep your customers happy?

Paul1440 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 50p tea 60p coffee. Usually bough in a round of 3 to 5 at a time. One at arrival and another after and before leaving if 2 rounds shot. At a £1 people don't seem as keen to get the round in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Whats a Barm? A roll, but normally a slightly bigger one than our breakfast rolls. A bap in Dundee or a cabin in Fife. We do hot drinks 50p, filled roll £1.50, can of juice 75p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPARKIE Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 I was wondering how you couldn't make it break even when a box of 240 tea bags cost no more than £3 plus some paper cups £35 per 1000 a drop of milk and sugar. at £1 a cup you should be making 80p profit at least. cans of pop 24x for £6 at costco As for bacon 2kg pack from local butchers is £6.50 plus some cobs. id think there's a couple quid profit in each one. I have 2 friends with cob vans and they rake it in. Are there other factors I'm not getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some hidden costs somewhere that isn't shown or is half of the stock binned at the end of the day?.

dougall Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 we include a bacon roll and a hot drink in the entry price for club shoots. on open days charge £2 bacon/sausage roll £2.50 bacon & egg. tea 50p coffee 60p.Canned drinks 50p. If you were to get nice butchers bacon/sausage decent fresh rolls you could charge more....perhaps you should ask your regulars?personally I would pay bit more for a decent bacon roll and it is a fairly 'captive' audience....but dont do silly Silverstone last year £7 for a bacon roll.......which annoyed.......

bruno22rf Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Aldi sell "essentials" bacon at 95p/ (at least 8 slices) and Tesco sell 6 rolls for £1 so even if you put 4 slices of bacon in each roll and only charge £2 each that's an outlay of less than £4 for a return of £12 minimum-not bad surely .....£8 profit /6 rolls minus your gas.

Twistedsanity Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I can't remember what they tried to charge me at Agl last year for a tea and bacon roll as I wasn't a member but it was disgusting, almost took a camping stove next visit to make my own as a form of protest!
