Investments in the business - office, call center, website, hiring employees with cars, search for clients, plus any accounting and lawyer. About two months and $ 50K.
The cost of the courier is obtained in the region of 100 rubles per hour.
If we assume that the courier travels by car through half of Moscow (1 hour), takes half a dozen units of goods and delivers from the first capital (about 45 minutes to a point), then we get ... about an hour per unit of goods. Total - the cost in pure form is about 100-150 rubles for the delivery of a unit of parcel post. Add any unforeseen type of traffic jams, theft, car breakdowns. Plus costs for management, accountants and call center. We have about 200 rubles.
Next comes optimization, grouping orders from one area, etc. I suppose that this reduces the cost of rubles to 80-100 per unit of goods. The rest is a hundred rubles from each parcel. Or 100-200 rubles per car per hour, 500-1000 per day, 12-25 sput per month.
Drugs are clearly more profitable.
