Coffe Shop with a difference -
01-08-2008, 10:12 AM
Having noticed a number of threads regarding coffee shop startups and requests for associated information, the following may prove interesting:
Profits in coffee shops are still to be had. But not from coffee alone. You need to have other attractions.
Statistically you will find many people go to coffee shops for social purposes (meeting friends) and/or business (ie: internet useage, meet clients etc) not just for a coffee!!!! You need to decide who your market segment will be and provide extras for that specific market (maybe childcare, music, internet access, specialty food etc).
Have you thought about roasting Green Beans in-house ?
The Roasted Bean Boutique offers a system which allows a non-expert to roast coffee beans in their Coffee House/Cafe/Shop.
Not only do you save money by buying Green Beans and roasting coffee in-house but you get to add new streams of business by supplying fresh daily roasted beans to the local market - ie: your customers, other cafes, delis etc
Good luck with your enterprise.
