How much money does a Pizza shop make in a year?
How many ice cubes fit in a glass? Size of population (the size of the ice cubes) and location of shop (how big is the glass) will greatly affect gross sales volume. If you know the shops gross revenue, then you can speculate they are probably keeping (net) 8 to 12% of the gross sales as a quick assessment. To provide some grounding to my answer. In 2005, the average store earnings for all pizzerias was $449,867/year. So therefore if the average operator nets 10%, most are pulling in about $45,000 year when all is said and done.
