According to Carbones Pizzeria's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the cost of food and beverage for the company restaurant sales for the year ended October 31, 2024, was $226,979. This figure represents the direct expenses Carbones Pizzeria incurred to purchase the ingredients and supplies necessary for the food and beverage products sold at its company-owned location.

For a prospective franchisee, understanding the cost of food and beverage is crucial for projecting profitability. This figure, when analyzed alongside revenue from company restaurant sales ($726,642), provides insight into the gross profit margin on food and beverage sales for the company-owned store. However, it is important to note that this cost may vary for franchised locations due to factors such as local supplier pricing, waste management practices, and inventory control.

It is also important to consider that the cost of food and beverage is just one component of the total cost of company restaurant sales, which amounted to $1,042,992. Other significant expenses include labor ($624,395) and direct expenses ($191,618). A franchisee should carefully evaluate all these costs to develop a comprehensive financial model for their own Carbones Pizzeria franchise.
