    Re: Daily turnover in cups in a coffee shop

    Ive posted these links before & Ill probably post them again.  

    “This is unquestionably one of the least profitable industries in Australia”

    Great reading for those looking to enter the industry.  It can be done successfully but PLEASE go in with your eyes open.

    There are 40,000 restaurants & cafes in Australia & 7000 close each year.

        Ok. So you think the data will be polluted if I hire someone? I.e. they will not report correctly?
        no, I dont think the data would be polluted; just that if you are looking to enter a new business venture surely youd want to have as much control and understanding of all the factors? Working the numbers would be the first place Id start.

        How will you truly understand what they mean unless youve done the work yourself?

        I dont even own the business I work in but any financial analysis or reporting that I am responsible for or in control of is done by me, not others. I want to have a full understanding of what is going on.

            why do you need a bulk coffee grinder?
            does the shop sell beans in bulk?

            whats a milk skimmer ?
            whats a radio system? is that music?

            do you really need
            ice maker (i would buy bags 1st )
            tea machine (use the coffee machine or plungers etc)
            other coffee machine ?

              + another 100 things and an open web forum is not really the place to do your business plan IMO. YOU need to get it right for the individual situation and YOURSELF, if not walk away now and save the pain.

              It really sounds to me like you need to get some serious professional assistance, write a business plan along with some legal advice in negotiating with centre management and also make sure of all the local goverment red tape while you are at it.

              Forgotten from above fit out to centre management standards $20-30k+, compared to this coffee and tea gear is cheap. If you want to do it on the cheap and just do coffee without food which your list above indicates then get a spot in a walkway for a cart. If you want to add food too add another $20-60k depending on level of commercial kitchen fit out required.

              Sorry to sound really negative but you are flying blind and it will surely end in tears.

                    Westfield posted a $961 million net profit for the first half of this year. An increase of around $250 million from the same period in 2009.

                    Am not saying obtaining advice from a lawyer is a bad idea. Your own lawyer will possibly be able to explain exactly how far you need to bend over.
