“The current economic realization that comes from 600 registered coffee shops in Jogjakarta reaches Rp262.8 billion per year,” the owner of Pitutur Coffee Shop Ponco Kusumo in Jogjakarta said on Monday.

He explained in detail that a coffee shops economic realization comes from the volume of coffee sold each day, multiplied by the retail price of each cup.

For example, every day there would be 80 cups of coffee sold in each shop, at a price of Rp15 thousand per cup.
