The problem
Cold drinks sold around offices and markets are often sugary and factory-made, while many people want natural, affordable drinks.
The solution
Juices and smoothies made in front of the customer with seasonal fruit, sold at a busy stand and delivered to offices on morning orders.
Your customers
Office workers, shopkeepers, students, sports lovers and passers-by at markets, bus stations and business areas.
How you make money
Cup at €2 to €4, daily juice subscriptions delivered to offices, and trays for meetings and events.
Competition
Sugary drink sellers, cafés, established juice bars, supermarkets and street fruit sellers.
Who has an edge
Fruit bought early at the market at good prices, simple recipes people love, visible cleanliness and a spot chosen for foot traffic.
The risks
Food hygiene rules and a permit for the pitch, fruit that spoils quickly, sales dropping in cold or rainy weather.
The first 3 steps
- Check food hygiene rules and how to get a pitch permit
- Test five recipes on friends and keep the three favourites
- Deliver a free tasting to three nearby offices
How the numbers are calculated
Example in a high-income eurozone country, at month 12: revenue €2,700 − costs €1,800 = €900 net per month. Revenue: 900 cups × €3 a month. Costs: fruit, ice, cups, pitch fee, transport, social contributions. For other countries, Mundyo adjusts the starting budget to the price level (World Bank) and the income to prices and customers' purchasing power, then converts at the day's exchange rate.
