Hi Friend,

We have just finished binge-watching The Queens Gamit on Netflix. It's a story about how an orphaned girl becomes a chess sensation, beating the best in the world overcoming adversity, and well worth checking out.

Binge-ing got us thinking about our coffee business and wished it was more like Chess than Poker.

With chess every move you make has a predictable outcome, although it can be very complicated, the more you study the moves, the more you win.

Setting up a new coffee shop/cart/kiosk or cafe, setting up any new business is more like Poker, nothing is certain, and everything is a bet. When you take rational decisions, they will, in the long run, give you a better outcome.

One of the best ways of making sound decisions is having someone who can provide you with all the information you need to make that rational decision.

• How many heads on the coffee machine?

• What size plates should I buy?

• Is this a good rent deal?

• How many staff do I need?

• Is this a good location for me to open?

• Is this a good item to put on the menu?

• How much should I pay?

• What size ice machine do I need?

• How do I negotiate with the landlord?

• Is this oven any good?

• Should I get branded cups?

• Do I need an app?

• What epos system should I buy?

• How high does the counter need to be?

• Where should I put the signs?

• Is this a good price for.....?

• Am I being ripped off?

• Should I start with a coffee cart?

• How much money will this site take?

• Do I need a licence?

• Where should I get my coffee from?

• What do I put in my business plan?

• What bank should I use?

• How do I get an investment?

• Should I buy a second-hand coffee machine?

• Should I start with a very small unit?

These are a few of the questions our clients ask us every week.

It's the hundreds of little decisions that you make that will ultimately steer you to success or otherwise

Family, friends or a relative that ran a business selling widgets will either tell you what you want to hear or that you shouldn't do it.

Articles written by journalists for clickbait or people who haven't run a coffee shop can be at best superficial or worst plain wrong. (the internet is littered with these as well)
