How To Start A Coffee Shop ☕ [Easy Step-By-Step Breakdown] | How To Open A Cafe Business 2022

Cafes have become such an important symbol in our lives. Whether it be a franchise coffee shop like Starbucks or a third-wave premium cafe house in your neighbourhood, they have been a place for many people to congregate and enjoy. It is not uncommon for you to be attracted to start such a food business.

But how do you exactly start a coffee shop?

It starts off with figuring our YOUR WHY. Why do you want to open one? Any food business is a long road of stress and hardwork. If you don't know your why, you'll end up giving up when times get tough. Next you'll need to consider your concept (will you have dine-in space or have it like a mobile cafe?) and the location. Knowing the nuances of your location (destination vs. high traffic) will be integral in your success. After that you'll want to think about your costs, menu, branding, and then putting it all together in a coffee shop business plan.
