Key Revenue & Costs
The revenue drivers for Cady’s Cookies will come from the cookie items being offered daily.
The cost drivers will be the ingredients and products needed to make the cookies (flour, sugar, chocolate, chocolate chips, cinnamon, baking soda, etc.) as well as the cooking materials (pans, bowls, mixers, utensils, etc.). A significant cost driver are the paper products that the cookies will be served in as well as the gift boxes. Other cost drivers will be the overhead expenses of payroll for the part-time employees and cost of the targeted ads on social media.
