A market-stall tiramisu business turns a simple £6 dessert into measurable owner income.
127 pots at £6 · 18 hours worked
Counting the founder's 18 hours turns a £762 week into an honest wage test: about £28 an hour, more than double the UK minimum wage of £12.71 the founder is measuring against.

Tiramisammm is a founder-run tiramisu business in the UK that sells pots at a market stall and makes them in a kitchen. The founder posts weekly finance breakdowns as a "minimum wage mission": can the business pay its owner at least the UK minimum wage of £12.71 an hour? In the reported week the stall sold 127 pots at £6 each, for £762 in revenue. Costs came to £250.51, leaving £511.49 in profit. The founder worked 18 hours across the stall and the kitchen, which works out to £28.42 an hour. This is a single-week snapshot, not a monthly history, but it is unusually transparent about labour.
For a single-dessert market stall, the stall itself is the first acquisition channel: 127 people bought in the reported week without any described advertising.

Data credibility: Founder-reported TikTok breakdown for one week: 127 pots at £6, £762 revenue, £250.51 costs, £511.49 profit, and 18 hours worked. No receipts or independent accounting were provided, and the figures are not a multiweek history.
For a £6 dessert, the first sale happens the moment a passer-by sees the product and the price together, so the setup matters more than the pitch. Show the pots, the price, and the payment methods at eye level, and make checkout fast enough that a queue does not lose people.
A dessert stall compounds when buyers return on a known day and bring someone with them. Make the next date impossible to miss: on the lid, on a small card, and in every weekly post.
A quiet market day can feel like a verdict, so treat each stall as one data point in a weekly sheet. Record pots made, pots sold, leftovers, pitch fees, hours worked, and the questions customers asked.
The rest of this breakdown — 7 more sections — is in the Unicorn Club, with every section of all 1,292 ideas: first customers, first dollar, the flywheel, and the silent stretch.
