The short version

An operator or cigar lounge owner running 1 cart over a full year sees about $30,000 in sales and $28,200 in profit a year. The $24,995 comes back in roughly 10.6 months, and five years in you are ahead by $116,005.

How this works

Napkin math, in about a minute.

  1. 1 Pick who is buying the cart.
  2. 2 Change every dial to your own numbers. The ones you see first are examples, and the board is only true once they are yours.
  3. 3 Watch the dark board at the top. It shows when the cart pays for itself.

This is an estimate, not a quote. It leaves out taxes, financing, inflation, and staffing. Bring it to the call and we walk your real numbers.
