Honestly, making Hong-style coffee and Hong-style tea is much more complicated than "simply mixing a few spoons of ready made Ovaltine or Horlick into water", if talking about labor cost. If talking about "material cost", self made coffee and tea could be cheaper than to buy the ready made Ovaltine and Horlick.
However, if just talking about labor cost, since most commonly they're counted by hourly rate or monthly rate, but not paid by each cup/glass of beverage made. That means, no matter how many cups/glasses of hot or cold beverages they can made in an hour doesn't actually affect the labor cost at all. |
