    Rubbish!
    BTW Mark Up has nothing to do with Profit Margin.

    I remember an episode of Gruen a few years ago where they called coffee 'liquid gold'.

    When my wife worked at a well known bakery chain about 12 years ago it would cost them about 45c plus the Labor for a $4.50 coffee. But like I said that was 12 years ago, things have changed alot since then. Those statistics you posted make sense considering cup's are now environmentally friendly and the milk and beans are sourced from fair trade company's.

    The problem with trying to estimate the "cost" of supplying a cup of coffee is that there are a large number of unknowns, most of which are not obvious. But to point out a few:-

    1. The labour needed to make and serve the coffee is easy to estimate - but what is not easy is estimating how much of the worker's time has to be paid for that is not producing revenue. For most venues, this will be a lot more than the actual time to make and serve the coffee.

    2. The cost of capital - both for the machinery and furniture, and more intangibles like training and working capital

    3. Rent, licence fees, government charges, insurance, power, water etc. All of these continue even when there are no customers, and cannot easily be reduced if the number of customers decreases.

    There are others, but these are just some of the obvious ones.

    That's exactly what the retailers & marketing companies expected, who cares what it's called.......... ITS A SALE !

    The fact that Black Friday sales are an American concept and it will effectively change the general Australian knowledge of 'Black Friday' doesn't matter.
