    There are some dangerous sounding words there.

    I hope youve done your homework.
    If you dont have a business plan that includes a budget and turnover projections you are setting yourself up for a fall.

    Do you have any of this done or any previous experience?
    I am actually going into franchise. I do have experiences in cafe and F&B. Done my business plan, budget and projections. So my coffee supplier is all covered by the franchise.

    All my concern are, what kinda of coffee machine should I consider. I have not much experiences in coffee machines, but making coffee is a passion to me. Need some guidance on coffee machines...thanks!

      Your choice of coffee equipment should be discussed with your coffee supplier.  He, or she, will be the person who knows what equipment is the best marriage for the coffee they supply.  In addition, your Roaster should be able to provide equipment at near wholesale cost, provide you and your staff with training, etc.
      Agreed....

      That said, I am yet to see any franchise produce anything better than decidedly average...

      At best, the coffee supplied to you is likely to be cheap and probably boring as well as possibly stale...

      Sounds to me that you need a good, cheap workhorse machine as spending megabucks on a machine will most likely result in little/no improvement in the cup...

      Id put the extra $$$ into training..

      I wish you good luck as the biggest winners in franchises are normally the franchisors....

      Cafes are marginal businesses at best. Take franchise fees off the top and they often become loss makers...

        Another article on hospitality profitability.  This time from this weeks Weekend Australian Magazine.

        I love the bit about "profitless volume" (been there, done that).
