Coffee Shop Franchise Or Independent Store?

By Pat & Rob · Friday

Many people wonder if they should get involved with a coffee shop franchise, or start their own independent coffee business.

There really isn’t a right or wrong answer. It really depends on the individuals situation, business background and their expectations for their business venture.

There are franchisees who’ve failed and lost a lot of money in their coffee shop business. And many have profited. There are independent coffee shops that have failed miserably, and there are independent operators who’ve become wealthy.

There are a lot more considerations when it comes to deciding upon YOUR ideal coffee shop operation. There is a ton of information and decisions that must be made, and just as much “inside information” you need to learn before you will be truly prepared to make an informed decision.

The truth is that getting into your own coffee shop business is the easy part. Keeping it open and operating it profitably is the hard part.

How To Open A Coffee Shop

By Pat & Rob · Monday

There’s a lot of little things you must learn before you open a coffee shop. But, let’s talk about the reality of the coffee shop industry for a minute.

The truth is that opening a coffee shop isn’t that hard. If you look around you’ll see new coffee shops opening up regularly. Unfortunately, you’ll also see coffee shops with “for rent” signs on them just as regularly.

Opening up your coffee shop isn’t the tough part. It’s actually fairly easy. Keeping it open, and make it truly profitable for you is the hard part. A little bit of insider information is probably all that is standing between making a living with your coffee shop, and opening a profitable coffee shop!

Starting A Coffee Shop

By Pat & Rob · Tuesday

The aroma, the ambience, the atmosphere! and serving the public in a friendly atmosphere is a goal many coffee loving entrepreneurs consider. But there is a reality that goes with almost any industry.

The slick sales brochures for the franchises, and the current owners advertising their businesses for sale only tell HALF of the story.

There are always two sides to any legitimate business venture. The first part is all the things you research and are told when examing the business niche from the outside. The second, darker part is the realities you find once you take the plunge and become an owner.

Here’s the truth: Starting a coffee shop business is actually fairly easy. Keeping it open and making it very profitable is the hard part.

There is some information you should be aware of BEFORE you start your business that will give you a much better chance at success. We suggest you learn this information BEFORE you put a lot of your hard earned money at risk.

Here’s a link to read more about the “little things” inside the coffee shop industry that you NEED to know before you decided to start a coffee shop!

Review Of “How To Start A Coffee Shop”

Honestly, I didn’t know such a book existed. I mean how many people are really interested in opening their own coffee shop? Well, believe it or not, thousands each month. And with very little info on the subject, this book is a life saver. Let me give you a general idea of what you’re going to find inside.

The thing you are going to like best about this book is how it will show you how to do this at minimal cost. I’m talking, under $25,000 and not a penny out of YOUR pocket. Quite honestly, this plan is genius and is worth the price of the book itself. In fact, there are case studies of people using this system who have opened up shops for less than $500. It’s almost mind boggling.

The book goes over a ton of information including:

• 7 ways to get financing
• Market statistics, so you know if there is room for you
• 80 individual steps to make sure your coffee shop is successful
• Marketing solutions that don’t cost a small fortune
• How to design your shop on a shoestring budget
• Where to get the best coffee beans
• What equipment you must have
• How to determine your hours of operation
• 10 Marketing methods that create buzz. If you read my free report, you understand about buzz.
• How to keep up with the coffee industry…very important.

There are tons of resources inside as well such as an employee handbook, alcohol and drug policies, employment applications and way too much to get into here.

There are also videos and conference calls with coffee shop experts.

Honestly, the amount of information in this product is mind numbing.

And that may be the one problem as well. You need to understand this, so I will make this as clear as possible.

There is a TON of work in opening a coffee shop and a lot of info that needs to be absorbed. This product leaves NOTHING out. Which means that it’s going to take you a bit of time to go through it all. If you DON’T have the time…don’t get this. I’m serious.

If you’re serious about opening a coffee shop, I can honestly and truthfully say that this is going to become the coffee shop business bible someday if it already isn’t.

At the very least, please check out the site to see EVERYTHING that they have to offer. And yes, I do get compensated if you purchase this book from me. That compensation helps me to be able to review worth while products in the future.
