Mobile Coffee Cart

[Trizo]

Hi guys,

I am really interested in getting a mobile coffee cart started. I was hoping someone might know some useful information on things to do with starting a coffee cart business. Any information would be appreciated e.g. laws, licenses, profitability thoughts?

Just ring your local council and see what they require you to have in you cart and just go from there. work out if you want a van,trailer, or speedie cart and what events you can pick up and who else in your area is in the same business

You could try Carts Australia. There are a lot in Brisbane CBD and they are working well.

Brisbane is a big area Nancy.
Care to narrow it down for us?

I reckon that the Australian market is pretty much saturated with bad coffee, especially in the CBD of most big cities. If on the other hand, you want to invest in great coffee, staff and equipment and produce coffee to the best possible standard, you will offer something special and like the great places, also be successful. This requires commitment to the bean and the process, not the dollar.

In my opinion the answer is yes to both.

Yes its saturated (with mediocre and bad coffee).
Yes its viable if you are going to make GOOD coffee and can get your reputation out there.

P.S. Welcome to CS Nancy.

Dont know about Brisbane, however while in Adelaide last Friday I commented to my better half that I would hate to be trying to make a living out of coffee, there seems to be a roaster/espresso bar on every corner.

Friendly and personalised customer service
Fast service and turnaround times
Amazing espresso and milk drinks
Foot traffic

I think if you can tick the above four criteria you have a recipe for success anywhere in Australia no matter how strong the competition is.

Re: Mobile Coffee Cart

If you do a search with google I think the Sydney City regs are there in a PDF somewhere, they seem to be the defacto standard used by a lot of councils. Basically 2 sinks one for hands one for wash up. Easy clean surfaces (read metal) refrigeration and know how to handle food without killing anyone ;-)
