Would think the margins are around 40-50%. Beer is priced competitively so will have a lower margin, but if its brewed onsite the long term costs must be lower. Saving something on transportation. Maybe £1-£1.50 on a pint is profit the rest tax? Others will know. Food is where the profit is. A £4-5 pie costs less than £1, with staffing of course the major cost of sale. All in, with the volumes the club is doing, I recon 40 to 70% margin is doable.
So circa half a million a game.
Whether people will continue to spend as much once the novelty wears off I don't know. There is definitely potential to open more food places that do things like Pizza in other areas of the stadium. In the opening games, if there was more catering capacity, I think we could have literally doubled what was sold. Club needs to look at how catering outlets in the pleb areas can be pit stop crews...
