Budget estimate

$80,000 – $150,000

The lease provides a fixed monthly rent of $75.60 plus $126 utilities, but the bulk of revenue comes from cafeteria sales. Assuming an average daily sales volume of $800 (≈ $24,000 per month) with a modest net profit margin of 8‑12%, the operator could earn roughly $1,900‑$2,900 per month. Over the 5‑year lease term, this translates to a total profit range of $115,000‑$174,000, giving a reasonable ballpark estimate of $80,000‑$150,000 after accounting for startup costs, equipment investment, and operational expenses.
