1. rent...for example if you want to have a small booth like the size of smokeys or thirsty that would require 15-25T depending on location. but most mall owners and even sa it park it will require a safety deposit. for a one year contract it would require 6 months deposit, then a month advance so you would be paying for 7 months total. you will only get the safety deposit on your 7th month. then it you would be required to renew the contract. rent would then be 15T*7=105T
2. equipment (you will be the one who would be to able to answer this) but i did a study on french fries you would propably be need 30T for this
3. Booth 20T-35T
4. Raw material... be sure you have enough money to buy all you need for atleast 4 weeks (just suppose that everything you sell for the first month you will not derive any income)
5. Personnel, light and water. 10T
total 200T give and take if the location is good roi would be 6-12 months.

hope it helps...
