A revenue stream is how your business earns money. It includes what you sell, how much you charge, and how often you get paid.
In food businesses, revenue can come from single meals, large catering orders, or weekly meal plans. Some food sellers use delivery apps or offer special pricing for offices.
Flower shops have different models. A wedding-focused shop might earn income from full event packages and private consultations. These jobs are larger, require deposits, and may include rental fees for vases or setup services. Another flower shop might focus on everyday buyers by selling $15 pre-made bouquets through Instagram, offering quick delivery without a storefront.
Barber shops might charge per cut, offer a discount after 5 visits, or sell monthly grooming memberships. Some earn extra money by selling hair products.
Planning your revenue stream helps you know where your money comes from, what pricing works best, and how to manage your time.
