I plan to open a water delivery shop, and I don't know the cost and profit of water.

The profit of opening a water supply shop is really considerable. The retail price of bottled water given away is generally ex-factory price plus 100% gross profit. At present, the ex-factory price of a barrel of mid-range 18.9L purified water on the market is generally around 2 to 3 yuan, and the price sold to the public is between 6 and 8 yuan. Excluding related expenses, the net profit of dealers operating a barrel of pure water is generally around 3 yuan. Selling mineral water is more profitable than pure water. The ex-factory price of mineral water is between 6-8 yuan, and with the profit of 1.000%, a barrel will definitely earn 6 yuan. If the water delivery shop only sells a single brand of bottled water, the sales volume is not large, generally only a few barrels to a dozen barrels a day, and the profit is very limited. Therefore, water delivery shops generally choose to operate several brands of bottled water at the same time. In this way, the total amount of bottled water sold by a water delivery shop in a month adds up to forty or fifty barrels. Excluding related expenses, the owner of the water shop can easily make a profit of several thousand yuan every month.

Opening a water supply store pays great attention to economies of scale, and the dealers who really make big money are those with large investment and large pavement. The big dealers sell thousands of barrels of water themselves and hundreds of barrels of water every day, so the profits are naturally considerable. According to Mr. Qin, many dealers have made a fortune in water delivery business, some have bought cars, and others have now opened their own bottled water factories and become big bosses.

Example: (Shenzhen bottled water market):

1, Shenzhen barreled water has three grades. Jing Tian, Yili and Ipoh are the top three high-grade water (brand water). Of course, Watsons, Eternal (basically ruined) and some old brands such as Wahaha and Robust are also expensive. Mid-range water is Yijing, Xishi, Jiayuan, Maibao (Xuandai) and so on. There are countless brands of low-income water, and it is conservatively estimated that there are 100. The price of brand water is about 15—22 yuan, middle-grade water is about 12— 18 yuan, and low-grade water is about 8— 12 yuan.

2. expenses. The main cost of bottled water is the investment in empty barrels. Now the initial investment (excluding store rent) for opening a water store in Shenzhen is about 8000- 10000 yuan. For example, if you want to open a water store and stock 30 barrels of high, medium and low-grade water, totaling 100 barrels, then your empty barrel investment will be 200-300 (barrels need to be turned over), the cost will be 80 * 35+80 * 30+80 * 20 = 6800, and other means of transportation will probably be needed. Store rent is difficult to count. There are 3,000 or 4,000 storefronts in the community, and 1000 houses. Personally, I think bottled water is an industry with product quality and service quality. The store location is not very important, as long as the area is large enough for parking and transportation, mainly for service.

3. Basic link: 1. Understand the local bottled water market; Second, investigate the residents around the place where you want to open a shop, which is mainly divided into two categories: family customers (high profit, troublesome distribution) and unit customers (low profit, convenient distribution); Third, understand the local bottled water brands, understand the relevant distribution forms and joining methods; 4. Distribution or joining; Purchase (water, machines, cups, etc.). ), determine the promotion, etc. ; Sixth, the operation of the new water store (usually taught by water plants or franchise companies). Seven, open up the market.

There are two modes of making water shops in Shenzhen. One is an extensive and typical mom-and-pop shop. Generally, most of them are dealers of a certain brand, such as those in Jing Tian, and there is no restriction on the types of water sold in the store. Second, intensive, join chain stores. Such as Gifford (mainly Jing Tian), Youtianda (Ipoh), Yirun (Yili), Jiaduo Store, etc., some are specialty stores, such as Youtianda, and some are water supermarkets, such as Gifford.

5. As mentioned above, the initial investment is 8000- 10000. If you need distribution, franchise fees, store decoration, etc. The cost is not limited to these. If there is no unit customer relationship in Xinshui Store, it is normal to sell 500- 1000 barrels per month within half a year. The gross profit of bottled water retail in Shenzhen is about 5-8 yuan. Take 6 yuan as an example, the gross profit of 1000 barrels is 6,000 yuan, which can basically make some money in terms of cost and manpower, and 800 barrels can guarantee the capital preservation of 2,000 barrels and 3,000 barrels to make money. What I mentioned above is that there are many family customers. If there are many unit customers, the gross profit will be greatly reduced, because many times the unit customers borrow buckets, water dispensers and the like, which is tantamount to investment, but the gross profit of the general unit customers can reach 4 yuan. The development of water stores is relatively slow (starting from 0 barrels), with less investment, slow effect and relatively stable. The key is to sell.

6. Barreled water is divided into distribution and joining. The essence is the same, that is, the difference between management and operation. For example, Ipoh, you can open a water store to sell his water without signing a contract to pay a deposit, but if you want to be his chain store, you have to pay the franchise fee. You may only sell one kind of water and teach you all. For example, in Jing Tian, you have to pay a deposit to sign a contract; For example, Mai Bao may give it away for free and borrow buckets to deliver water. Anyway, basically every kind of water dealer is different, but the franchise chain stores are generally the same (signing contracts, joining fees, decoration, management methods, bottled water software). If you want to be a general water store, you must focus on some kind of water and run it yourself. If you want to be decent in the franchise chain, you have to invest tens of thousands of yuan.

Note: bottled water is very regional, transportable and service. I don't know where you want to make a water shop. Shenzhen should be the most mature and intense place in the bottled water market. Answering questions for the first time is confusing, but it should help you.

Supplement: delivering water is a hard job. The wages of water delivery workers in Shenzhen are divided into piecework, fixed, piecework plus basic salary. The salary is not certain. At present, the salary of water delivery workers in Shenzhen is about 1800-2200. Generally speaking, they are skilled workers. Some are two yuan a barrel, some are basic salary 1300, and the excess is two yuan a barrel. Generally speaking, if the cost is calculated, the water delivery fee to 2 yuan barrel is 1.5.
