What is the cost of 1 cup of slush? - And what is my profit?

Yes, for an entrepreneur, this is one of the most important questions.
Okay, we're going to do some calculations:

For convenience, we will use prices including VAT. Each tank costs approximately 27 euros, and you get exactly 100 cups of 200 cc from that tank.

Then each cup of product costs exactly 27 cents! That sounds perfect, but you're not there yet, because you also need a cup and also a straw and a napkin.
Besides this, you also need water and cleaning agent, because you will have to clean your machine regularly. Your machine also needs electricity. No slush without electricity and water!

Let's take 30 cents per serving for that water, electricity, straw, and cup.
Then we arrive at a total product price of €57 cents. (measured May 2026)

Now the trick is to sell as many cups of slush as possible.
You do this by offering good flavors and adjusting the price to your audience.
If you have many students as customers, keep your selling price low. Then they will come back every day.

To encourage that return, it is smart to offer a flavor of the week. A different flavor every week and your customer will be curious and will come back every week. In professional jargon, this is called customer loyalty.
