Download and Prepare Signage and Price Lists
Choose ready-to-use sign kits in PDF format that include large banner lettering, price tags, and menu sheets sized for 8.5×11 inch paper. Print banners on standard paper for wall display and use 65–110 lb cardstock for price cards to keep them upright on the counter.
Set clear pricing such as $1 per cup or 3 cups for $2.50 and display it in bold text at least 150 pt in size for visibility from the sidewalk. Use bright colors like yellow and green to attract attention, but keep text dark for contrast.
Track Sales and Manage Earnings
Include daily sales logs with columns for cups sold, total cash collected, expenses, and profit. Record each transaction immediately to avoid calculation errors. Provide a simple tally box system so younger sellers can mark one line per cup sold and add totals every 10 sales.
Use a cash tracking sheet structured as follows:
- Starting cash amount
- Total sales revenue
- Supply costs such as cups, sugar, and ice
- Net profit at closing time
Display and Setup Tips
Attach banners securely with tape or string at eye level. Place price signs directly in front of the serving area so customers can read them before ordering.
Organizing Materials
Store unused sign kits and tracking pages in a folder for reuse during future summer sales. Keep extra copies on hand in case of spills or weather damage.
Encouraging Customer Interaction
Add a small feedback box or simple survey page asking customers to rate taste and service. This helps young sellers learn pricing strategy and customer preferences for the next event.
