For many cafés, empanadas quickly become one of the highest margin items on the menu.

A food product that works for cafés

Running a café means balancing speed, margins, kitchen space and staff availability. Most food products fail because they require too much prep or too much labour.

Empanadas are different. They are one of the most successful grab-and-go foods globally, particularly in Argentina, Chile, Spain and parts of the United States.

Customers love them because they are:

• Filling
• Flavourful
• Easy to eat
• Satisfying

Cafés love them because they are:

• Quick to prepare
• Easy to store
• Extremely profitable

The revenue potential for cafés

Typical wholesale price: $3.25 – $4 per empanada

Typical café selling price: $8 – $9

Average margin: $4.50 – $5.50 per empanada

Conservative scenario

150 empanadas per week
≈ $675 – $825 weekly gross profit
≈ $2,700 – $3,300 monthly

Busy café

300 empanadas per week
≈ $1,350 – $1,650 weekly profit
≈ $5,400 – $6,600 monthly

High-volume location

Some locations selling 400–500 empanadas weekly generate ≈ $8,000 – $10,000 per month from a product that requires no chef, minimal prep and limited equipment.

That's why empanadas are becoming one of the most profitable savoury items cafés can sell.
