How much are you paying for N/A bevs?

[Shantz My Pants]

Good for you. I'm not one of these people that talks about it being tougher in my day cause it wasnt. It's tough now and only going to get worse. We are in a global society and every day the competition pool grows.

So, preparation is the only answer. Save your fucking money. You dont need to be spending $8 a day on gourmet coffee and soda. Pay off your mortgage early. Get an investment manager, hope your wife picks up a few things at a garage sale. It's only gonna get worse.

I don't have to work another day in my life but I do because even I'm concerned and there are others I want to take care of

I've got family who had to go bankrupt, which is why I decided to stay home one more year to save up a bit extra after watching their money management skills put them where they are at as well as pay my debt (which wasn't enormous) down.

Too many of my buddies or acquaintances I know have gone into moving out with no plan or any type of financial security and for some they have gotten lucky and floated by, others they have gotten into a large whole that they can't get out of.

But I agree, the spending on fast food and soft drinks does add up. Definitely would be nice to have that $1,500-3000 back in savings.

Things are tough but if parents prepare their kids for life they will be fine. I have 3 that range from 31 to 26 and all do very well.

As we've already derailed the thread, see I didn't have that specific type of guidance. Mine was, go to school with loans, get a degree, then get a job. Unfortunately nowadays the final step isn't around and the loans will kill you. Best thing I ever did was quit school and go work part time at a company (while working other part time jobs) that promotes from within. After two years of working there I moved up to full time sales w/ benefits and doing pretty well for someone my age in this economy.

Had I done school to completion id probably not of had to start as low on the totem pole, but I would also be 30k+ in debt and still living at home.

if I aint ordering a beer I go with sweet tea and I don't really pay attention so no idea what they charge me

 

[Warrior Spirit]

I'm not talking non-alcoholic concoctions from the bar. I'm talking about sodas, teas (hot n cold), coffee, lemonade, ginger ale, etc. How much are you paying at your local restaurants? Do you even care or pay attention?

We have charged $2.99 for the past 3-4 years. I'm thinking of going to $3.29 or even $3.49. After some of you post your thoughts/results, I will tell you how many we sold in 2014.

TIA!

Everybody gives me free drinks. I hope you can beat that price.

Polishing empties left on tables by strangers and "free drinks" are two different things, Sparty.

Just raised the price on all of our N/A Bevs from $2.99 to $3.99 to combat the new minimum wage here in Colorado. More price increases are on their way. All sodas, teas, coffees, ginger ales, lemonades, etc. are now $3.99. I'm estimating the minimum wage hike is going to add roughly 7K to our monthly payroll.

One of many price increases/staffing changes to come in 2017.

And this is good evidence on why raising the minimum wage too high is bad for the economy

 

[Omeletpants]

$4 for a Ginger Ale? I would NEVER pay that unless it was on the company credit card for business

Since I dont drink alcohol or coffee Im saving thousands a year

Holy crap that's an expensive soda

It is expensive but it's the market right now at high end restaurants. Plus, these types of bevs are an afterthought when you have a four course dinner. We sell roughly 2K of these types of beverages per month.

Dumbasses voted for that amendment. Str8 up.

And I suppose if you're eating at a high end restaurant you're going with an alcoholic beverage anyway so who cares about soda prices?

 

[Hawkeye OG]

I would drink water at your restaurant because I'm a cheap ass. Unless it's on the corporate card, then an overpriced beer it is.

Non-sweet ice tea.
Pretty much a buck anywhere.

What is your restaurants name?

Not anymore. Unsweetened tea goes for 2.50 these days.

 

[Crystallas]

I have a lot of problems with the restaurant industry, so I rarely go out to eat(my wife feels the same exact way). Prices are not my main issue, as those are simply a reflection of market conditions, however if a restaurant somehow has terrible prices, I simply walk out. Plus, I drink water most of the time. Going out to eat isn't going to change certain habits.

As if I'd tell some lunatic on a message board. I will say we're crazy popular and one of Denver''s top 5.

A large is a buck at any drive through.
In AZ anyway....

I'm sure it's more at Star Ass or in a bottle....
