Starting a Donut Shop
To start a donut shop, consider creating a business plan and exploring franchise opportunities. Decide on the format of your shop – whether it be a traditional store, mobile truck, trailer, or gas station kiosk. Each option comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages.
Running a Donut Shop
A donut shop serves food and drinks to customers for a profit. The average annual revenue for a donut shop ranges from $120,000 to $150,000. To project sales, subtract expenses from revenue and use monthly estimates for growth. Establish financial systems and set up a business bank account to manage expenses effectively.
