Notes

  1. The “Average Potato Sales per Day” are over and above what may already be achieved with an oven “out the back”.
  2. The “Average Costs Per Serve” is approximately $1.24, which includes a potato with two or three ingredients, takeaway container, plastic knife and fork and napkin.(in our calculations we assume $1.30)
  3. There is no need to wrap potatoes in silver foil – at any time saving in time, labour and materials.
  4. From ovens sold it can be seen that by using a King Edward Potato Oven as a point of sale additional potato sales will increase five (5) to six (6) times and prices can also be increased.
  5. The electricity to run a King Edward Potato Oven is less than that required to run an average size cappuccino machine.
  6. The G.S.T. has been included in the above calculations.
  7. The payback period in days and in months together with the returns on investment are based on the price of the small and large oven prices of $3,729.00 and $5,819.00 respectively (i.e. prices inclusive of G.S.T.)
  8. The prices in note 7 above are for deliveries in Victoria.  For interstate deliveries it may be necessary to apply an additional charge to cover packaging, insurance and freight.
