Spud actual cost! #business #finance #potato #spudman

[TheO-fq]

Cooking cost, vehicle cost and insurance. Public liability, wages, travel costs to get the food. Cleaning, it goes on and on

[leemyers]

I used to run pubs for a living, after ALL costs, the profit on a pint was 32p

[matthewdoherty]

Don’t forget gas, electric, pitch hire, insurance and labour

[joshrohlandrohland]

Listen this guy is not even covering all the real costs. Spud man is extremely reasonable and legend to the people.

[mirvha]

As a business accountant, it’s shitty math like this that reminds me how important we can be 😂

[jameshutton]

Also these prices are so far away from actual current coats in the UK

[everyday]

You didnt include the curry, chilli, tuna toppings etc. He's raking it in off tiktok so can keep costs down for the customers. The guy is a stone cold legend

[thehoodeddoom]

Ignoring all his other costs, yeah you got him, well done you

[RexGalilae]

This is just the variable cost. The Cost of Goods Sold would also have to account for fixed costs like gas, electricity, payroll for workers, insurance, licensing, inventory, etc etc etc

[introcietyspaz]

You probably been told. But we forgot, cost of the truck. Yearly maintenance, and depreciation. Fuel to move the truck from spot to spot. Licence to sell to the public. And depending on location taxes.

[aptom]

Then there's operating costs, licensing, certification and of course profit margin- he's running a business not a charity.

[richukuk]

Don't take the piss he has rates to pay and it comes out of that just like shops

[kutsy]

Im fairly sure most of the cost is labour, rent/borrow fees, permits, inspection certificates etc.

[DF-uqir]

Carbs are the villain in this story! 😂

[Aceons]

From what I heard spudman is a good guy even with inflation killing everyone I’ve heard he instead barley turns a profit now

[nope]

Yeah and the prep and the has for cooking lol 😂😂😂😂😂

[samlee]

I have a small portable pizza business with a friend and it takes two days prep before getting to site then we work 6am-1am selling pizzas 4-9pm and breakfast 7:30-10:30am for 4 days a week.. so essentially 2 normal and 4 hard days work a week for 32 hours of service. People think oh they're only open for breakfast and dinner but it's a lot of work and I'm definitely not rich! If the weather is bad we loose money and the majority of our earnings happen over the 6 week school summer holidays, last year it was really rainy and we made sod all, this year was better but the recession is affecting everyone so people don't want to spend cash and our prices have barely risen even though ingredients have gone through the roof. There's lots of skill and hard work and peoples lives going into every small business and unhelpful videos like this do no one any good ✌️🤝

[stephenlaw]

The food cost is minimal, agreed. Let’s remember 20k for a trailer, a van to pull it, storage, lpg gas, generator fuel, insurances the list is endless.

[neilbuckard]

And then add the cost of the fillings and then add the cost of keeping the serving station warm all day ... and then add the priceless bit his generosity and time he takes to actually talk to his customers....the man's godam priceless

[XanderEwald]

Rent, insurance, energy, labour, administration, bookkeeping, taxes, and revenue. Is what you forgot to mention,
