The profit line you are shoping is profit to date (from date you opened the shop) not monthly profit...

Also this scenario (which caught me out too) requires total monthly profit for all shops (i.e. after deducting losses from shops not making profit - and good purchased etc., which is not the profit line you will even see on your money stats sheet.
To do this I removed - every shop that was not making a nice fat profit (ie. hat stalls - I even took out the ATM just in case) but did put in more food/drink shops put the goods/extras for each to peeps choice ... the end one with the smiley face (they like this anyway) but upped prices a little to get a better profit margin - but still low enough that I didn't get any 'I am not paying that much for xxxx)

I think (if I remember rightly) I trained/diciplined my staff to get them on max working and selling (top trained vendors are better sellers/faster and will even convince peeps that are not starving to buy food/items) also in hot scenarios cold food/drinks sell better (and for more cash:D) than hot ones and vice versa. I think I even upped the loo price to 20p (so I wasn't making a loss on anything) It took a little while - but it does come through in the end

Also stalls seem to work better on double (or even treble) width paths and sometimes even duplicated - as stalls can only cope with 4 peeps at a time - so if stall is chocka and path is congested they will try to go elsewhere - RCT3 seems to make the use of food court type areas work more than its predecessors - also have noticed seperate areaa with 2xloo & 2xATM with double width path all round seems to help keep peeps happier (2 loos helps 8 peeps relieve their problem rather than 4) stick this formation round your park and you also start getting 'Best Loo Awards' :D

Hey
You can see your shop profits in your stats page. If you double click your cash display in the top toolbar – your monthly money graphs are displayed.
You will be able to see here if your shops are making a profit. – totals in red is a loss and Black is Profit.
There are two shop lines if I remember correctly – (can not play RCT3 at work – inconsiderate boss) one for shops (balloon etc.) and one for food stalls. (they each have two lines again – one for stock purchases and one for sales profits)
Your monthly profit should be the total of these two sale profits put together.

As Silkius says, if you up the amount of toppings available on your food, peeps love it. This in turn makes your shop stock purchases go up and your profit margin less. So you have to charge more – and then peeps complain. You have to finely balance this to get a nice profit and happy peeps that actually buy at your shops.

(I would love to be able to specify the amount of helium in my balloons, See a parent run after their kid as he floats away on a helium balloon. :biggringr )

Another trick. Do not place to many food and drink stalls too near the entrance to your park, peeps that walked somewhat are far more likely to buy something on impulse than as they enter the park. Most peeps say “ I’m not hungry” if the first thing in the park they see is a food stall.

Hope this helps.
