Personally I like subways' coffees the best. On 2 rounds of mine, I have "subway" close by and on my other rounds its costa from costa machine in petrol station.
Ideally I need to buy time out to do my own flask n pack up b4 work, but that would mean getting up an extra half hr or so in a morning. Considering my sleep pattern is roughly 3 - 4 hrs sleep, i dont want to do that 🤔

Couple of bread rolls and filling, pack of crisps, piece of fruit and a cake bar or two. Sorted. Make a flask on the day boiling the water and milk as you prepare the rolls. 10 minutes tops.

Compare that with finding a greggs and paying £3 to £5 x 15 a month = £50 saved for a couple of Dazmondesque meals.
It's a game of three halves!

Depending on your round, I would suggest if putting up 30-40%, it may be worth staggering the increase,

Why do people bother with percentage increases??
Is it a way of trying to convince a customer that it isnt that much?  For instance, muchbof my work in a particular area is £15 upwards. So a 10% increase would be £1.50 but i dont mess about with  50p's and so i would simply raise by £2.
Yet people could potentially moan at the amount regardless if i break it down to a percentage increase or not!   The customer just wants to know the final.price they are paying and they will ultimately decide if its justified and continue or not

even on my cheap estate work i was earning £45+ an hour today,these jobs are £8-£12.....im gonna put them up  £1 next april but no way would i risk a £3 or £4 rise......if you clean 4 an hour thats a £12-£16 an hour extra....mine will be £4-£6 an hour extra which i think is a fair rise.....

each to their own but i dont think your customers will be happy with such a large increase.......
price higher/work harder!
