DP Dough

[lynxreign]

So, a DP Dough franchise costs $150,000. That's for the equipment, licensing and training. Then there's the rent for the space, insurance and the cost of materials and power. After all that, I'm thinking that for a manager, assistant manager, 2 employees and 1.5 drivers over a 13 hour day comes to around $800 a day. How much can one actually make on each calzone? What's the profit? How many calzones would have to be sold in a day?

Not expecting answers, just thinking.



... man I love those calzones...

One thing that helps, I think, is that the ingredients for calzone are relatively cheap, and I assume you'd have the home company's buying power to get good deals?

damn, man, you're making me REALLY hungry for calzone!

(praying you open it up near enough to MIT to deliver here... and SOON!)

See, that's the other thing. I'd want to open it close to several universities to maximise student hunger opportunities. Outside Boston proper is probably cheaper for rent and insurance.
I don't know how the purchsing works.

Sadly, if I do open one, it won't be all that soon. Perehaps you need a trip to Amherst? Or to have someone bring you some from there?
