Costs to run a Tuckshop

In the Tuckshop there are fixed costs. These do not change regardless of the amount of food sold through the tuck shop, and include
Staffing costs;

Utility costs (power, gas, water, waste-water etc.).

We have estimated these costs and determined that on any given school day a Tuckshop is likely to incur costs which can be calculated. Below is an example of a typical Tuckshop:

Cost Centre	Approximate Cost
Staffing	$174.30 (Depending on hourly rate/volunteer use etc)
Equipment	$12.44 (Depending on equipment used)
Utilities	$12.44
Consumables	$15.00
TOTAL	$214.18

We recommend that you complete a similar exercise to ascertain your fixed costs.
