Allow me , a no-brainer to do some simple calculation:
Assume Sales:             $90,000 x 12        $1,080,000/yr                     100%
Rent                               30,000 x 12             360,000                         33.4%                  
Payroll+Benefits             24,000 x 12             288,000                         26.7%
COGS                              15,750 x 12             189,000                         17.5%
Overhead                          9,000 x 12             108.000                         10%
Royalty+Advertising          4,500 x 12               54,000                           5%
Professional Fee               1,200 x 12               14,400                           1.4%
Loan payment:
$350,000 x 12.5% x 4 years
                                     $10,937.50x12          131,250                         12,16%


Operating deficit              -5,387.00                -66,528                           -6.16%
It is based on basic speculation on average franchise outlet, generally  the  Cost  Of Goods Sold of franchise chain are higher because the franchisee have no choice but to buy everything from the franchiser or designated suppliers with private label. I did not include utilities, common area shared expenses
and I have lowered the rent expense  by 25%.  12.5% loan interest rate is very low, usually restaurant  business carry  higher interest  so in this case they have to do at least $120,000 monthly sales just to stay in business. I do not know exactly how much it cost to set up a Starxxxxx, just compare with the Blenz's start-up cost

FYI North American Starbucks are not franchises.

I know, that is the reason I used Blenz for comparison, the cost structure
would be very similar.  The mainstream companies use loan to finance business,
12.5% interest per annum for restaurant is considered very low for business loan.
Generally a business plan requires the investment to be recovered  in 3-4 years
period.

My store's average net sales each day is about $3500. Last Monday it was $3100. Last Saturday was $4000 something. I remember when I used to work at Starbucks at the airport, from opening (5am)-10am net sales = $5000.

$5000 sales a day in Burnaby area is very good. But At Aberxxx or Robson Street would be barely breakeven. Do you have any idea what the COGS(Food Cost)  is?

咪講笑喇！在當大部分人仲隨地放飛劍，隨處踎；隨時開口得罪人的國度裡。

即使衣著再光鲜口袋裡鈔票再多也不過是暴發户而已！

根本談不上「品味」二字呀！同志！
