PIFBEX at the WTC: A Filipino Coffee shop

courtesy of pifbex  I was at the World Trade Center today to check-out the Philippine Food and Beverage Expo or PIFBEX.  I saw a mix of food equipment suppliers, franchises dominated by the mandatory scramble and twisted fries (but no real Big players like Twistix and Icebreaker Scramble) plus people selling foodstuffs.  Looks more like a weekend market to some extent.

Coffee beans are from the Cordillera, Mountain province and roasted locally
  First up, I saw the booth of the Hawaiian Coffee.  They sell coffee espresso machines, coffeemakers and coffee beans as well.

Listening to the sales rep, you could make good money just buy selling brewed coffee:

Coffee cost (8oz)              P4.00
Packaging cost
  (cup, stirrer, lid)                4.00

Creamer, sugar, water           2.50

Total                               P10.50

You could sell it for P20.00 (Dunkin Donut is P25 I think) while Espresso coffee at Starbucks is P90.00.

2011 Bakery Fair: Can't Afford Zagu, Mr. Softy or Scramble King? Make Your Own & Start Selling. No Franchise Fee Needed.

If you are like most would-be entrepreneurs with very limited budget to start a business or do not have the means to purchase a franchise package from Zagu (P320,000), Mr Softy (P200,000+) or Scramble King (P75,000 to more than P100,000), maybe it might be better to start your Own Brand.

One of the supposed advantages of the Franchise system is that they will teach you the technology.  During the 2011 Bakery Fair, there were several food ingredient suppliers who are willing to teach you how to make them yourselves without the need to spend hundreds of thousands of pesos.


Ferna, one of the major Food Ingredient Companies in the country, had a booth displaying Premixes for Scramble, Soft Ice Cream and Pearl Shakes:

I understand the Scramble powder is about P130/kg or less and you can make 60 6oz cups already or a powder cost of P2.16/cup.  Selling price is P7.00.  (You still have to add ice, meralco, labor and rent but you should still have a health margin of profit?.
