One order, honestly
Here is what one large brown sugar milk tea really leaves behind on Grab.
| Grab menu price | RM 13.90 |
|---|---|
| Commission 30% | − RM 4.17 |
| Food cost | − RM 4.20 |
| Cup, lid, film, bag | − RM 0.85 |
| Promo you co-fund | − RM 1.00 |
| Left for rent, staff and you | RM 3.68 |
The three changes
1. Delivery-only pricing
[Explain the repricing and why customers didn't notice.]
2. Drop the drinks that never pay
[Which items were dropped, and what happened to total orders.]
3. Right-size the large cup
The RM 9.90 large went from 700 ml to 650 ml. [Explain the cost saving per cup.]
60 days later
[Result in the owner's words, with the signed-off figure, e.g. +RM 2,940 profit a month.]
