Lesson: Price for Profits, Not Just Sales
In high-volume service environments, small pricing changes can have a major impact on long-term revenue. Don't fall into the trap of pricing low just to compete. A slightly higher price, especially on high-margin items like frozen drinks and soft-serve, can dramatically increase your annual profits without losing customers.
Why Smart Pricing Matters
-
Volume is your ally. Selling hundreds or thousands of servings means even $0.25 extra per item adds up fast.
-
Your time and equipment have value. Price to reflect the premium experience and speed your business provides.
-
Margins matter more than units. A few cents of added margin per unit often beats increased volume with lower margins.
-
Better pricing supports better service. Higher margins give you room to reinvest in staff, service, and equipment upkeep.
-
Psychological pricing works. Don’t fear $4.75 or $5.25 instead of $4.00—it’s all about perceived value.
Price Smart. Profit Big.
You don’t need a dramatic overhaul—just a deliberate strategy. Your customers will still buy at $0.25 or $0.50 more, especially when your drinks are cold, consistent, and served fast from reliable equipment.
You’re in business to make a profit, so let your pricing reflect it.
