Oh my Gosh! You’re the brain behind this yummy hot sauce? I tasted it at a car repair shop in Virginia around the Covid time and I loved it.

Numbers don't make any sense. MSRP $13.50-$14.00, 50% taken by retailers, COGS $2.50-$4.00 (17%-30%), 1$ per (5%-7%) for production space (not sure if that is included in the COGS), so roughly 87%-72% total cost to produce. Then claims to have a 30%-40% profit margin? Plus, there are a lot more costs to operate a business outside of the pure production costs and seller royalties.
@spookie3000
2 ай бұрын
Those numbers were on larger retailers. So overall margins could be a lot higher. However profits seem to be slim. 30-40% on max 120.000 turnover caps the profit at 40.000-50.000. Nice but not impressive yet.

Yeah he didn't clarify where that margin was from. B2C or B2B. that $11k order was for 3k bottles, $3.66/ea.... Sold @ $14/ea, healthy margin for retailer but he's making like $1 a bottle there?

For all the haters down there... he is using a co-packing company and he still in the early stages of start up. This shit doesn't happen over night it takes time to build a quality brand that consumers trust and will show support for. The condiment industry is a 30.64 billion dollar a year industry, so there is plenty of room for growth, and worrying about the actual breakdowns of gains and losses. When you get to a point of the returns affording you to build a production plant to supply your own product is when the numbers really count, until then you have to pay dues by doing everything possible yourself, pounding pavement, cold calling, farmers markets, food events, etc.

In my opinion, it's astonishing how people choose the questions to ask. I mean, is this a channel about starting businesses or a channel about cuisine? The first three questions were totally off track: "Weirdest customer?", "Bizarre recipe?", "What does the sauce pair with?" And the best was the last: "What do you do in your spare time?" I strongly suggest to the interviewer that if the subscribers don’t come up with interesting questions related to the topic of the channel, they should ask some of their own because it's really sad to miss the opportunity. No hate, but guys, it's a pity. There are plenty of questions more interesting for someone who wants to start a business than those. I read a comment down here like " how it is possible with 10k a month and 3/4 employees and rent to make money"? ..that is a good example of an interesting question in my humble opinion.

Did I miss the part were they spoke about the equipment and rent costs? The monthly overhead of 2K minimum must not include rent. As for the equipment I would want to know how he was able to afford it. It looks like about 100K+ of equipment costs. Please dont see this as a dig. Im just wondering. Love the show.
