cost of opening a cafeteria stall.

Total operating expenses for a cafeteria stall should not exceed 30% of revenue, with utilities costing no more than 3% and commission fees capped at around 20%.

Raw material costs account for 40–50%.

This leaves a gross margin of roughly 20–30%. If you hire staff, deduct about 10% for labor. If you run it with family and have no extra payroll, that gross margin effectively becomes both net profit and your salary.
