Cool Off With Frozen Yogurt By The Ounce

Posted on by
A good way to cool off from the extreme summer heat is to visit the neighborhood frozen yogurt shop for a cupful of ice cold frozen low fat yogurt. Regardless of whether your frozen yogurt options are simple like chocolate or vanilla, or perhaps some type of a mixture of flavors or toppings, frozen yogurt is an excellent method to cool down and relax for a couple moments on a sizzling day.
However, for frozen yogurt shop proprietors there are a few differences when talking about charging shoppers for the frozen yogurt. Should you charge potential customers a set fee depending on the size frozen yogurt they purchase? If that’s the case, how can you figure out what a “small” yogurt consists of? Exactly how much yogurt is within a “large” cup? You may be gifting away product employing this procedure. Or, you could potentially charge for your frozen yogurt by utilizing a legal for trade frozen yogurt scale that weighs in ounces.
Typically the reasonable way and most successful strategy is to weigh the frozen yogurt cup and charge customers by the ounce for his or her frozen yogurt purchase. The consumer then pays you a certain amount of money per ounce.

scale for weighing frozen yogurt by the ounce

This is really fairly simple to accomplish. First, research your options and ascertain what price per ounce you intend to charge your clients in order to make a profit. Next, you will want to buy at minimum two price computing scales which display weight in oz . for each frozen yogurt shop because the weight from the items is important to your operation. If one scale were to fail for whatever reason, you would have another on hand. And with the two scales available, you can now charge customers for his or her frozen yogurt and get paid dollars per ounce. You merely fill up the cup with frozen yogurt, put it on the scale and acquire your price per ounce.

So if a customer or an employee, depending on your store arrangement, adds more or less yogurt to a “medium” size cup, the consumer is purchasing what they received and the store is being paid on what they sold.
