Food Costing and Pricing | Foodtrepreneurs Collective

July last year, I hesitantly launched Foodtrepreneurs Month. I shared four negosyo recipes along with a learning topic about running a food business. I was not really sure what to expect. Will you be interested in those? Will it be of help to you?
Seven months later, I still cannot believe how so many people have expressed gratitude over these videos. Thank you so much for letting me know how I have helped and inspired you. It means a lot to me! Moving forward, I intend to produce more learning videos. Through these videos, I hope to empower and encourage aspiring and growing foodtrepreneurs. I will try my best to discuss concepts or topics that are going to be useful to you and make it as simple and clear as possible.
---
To jump off this endeavor, I have isolated the learning parts of the videos I published during Foodtrepreneurs Month for easy access. This first one is all about Costing and Pricing. It is linked with my Polvoron a la Goldilocks recipe, you can also check it out here: • How to Make Polvoron |...
---
In line with this, I also invite you to join my closed FB group for aspiring and growing foodtrepreneurs: / foodtrepreneurscollective . We are now in the membership building stage and it is my aim for it to be a community where people can freely share, learn and inspire each other because doing food business is hard and we need all the help we can get. It will also be where we deepen our discussion and engagement with regards to the learning videos published here on CZcams.

Mam ung salary na ibibigay sa sarili baka pwede kng ilang oras ginawa devide by basic wage

[@jo1nee]

Pano kung bought from grocery store which obviously hindi naman pwede tingi, so like flour, meron lang 450g, 1k, 2k packs? Pano ang costing nya?

[@lesleystestkitchen]

Parehas pa rin po yung way nang pag-compute. Ex. Kung nabili niyo po ang 450g na flour sa grocery for P100, idi-divide pa rin ang P100 sa 450g para makuha ang price per gram =)

[@chimkenrawr]

Paano po isama sa costing ang mga overhead expenses kagaya ng water, electricity tas mga gas sa oven? Thank you poo

[@lesleystestkitchen]

Hi Ashy =) Kailangan mong malaman kung gaano ang nagagastos mo for water, electricity and gas to make your product. From there, same lang ang concept, divide the amount spent by the number of produced goods to get how much ang nagagastos per product. For example, if you spend P500 on electricity to make 300 pcs of cupcakes. You divide 500 by 300 to get how much ang electricity per cupcake and that's P1.66 =)

[@charminegonzales8450]

Bat iba po yong computation ninyo sa cooking oil and butter, correct me if im wrong po but i thought po na ganito:
Cooking oil = 80÷1000ml = 0.08x63= P 5.04
Butter= 45÷1000 =0.045×30=P1.35
Total : P33. 94
Po? Iba yong calculation ko haha

[@lesleystestkitchen]

Idi-divide po yung price nung ingredient sa dami ng ingredient to get the cost per unit. Yung oil po ay P80 para sa 1500ml kaya idi-divide yung 80 sa 1500. Yung compound butter ay P45 for 225g kaya idi-divide yung 45 sa 225. Hindi po sa 1000. Yung price ng flour ay dinivide sa 1000g kasi yun yung dami ng nabili sa presyong P50 :)

[@joshjewelosila8786]

Thank you Ma'am!

[@kayedelacruz3116]

Hello maam pano po isasama ang number of eggs if grams po ang basehan ng computation? Dapat rin po ba kunin ang grams niya?
