The coffee industry is slowly beginning to heat up in China, coffee shops are scrambling to open, offering a wide variety of things, and cafes are destined to be minority consumption in China. There are also 60 cups of coffee per capita in Japan and 60 cups per capita in Taiwan, and less than 5 cups per capita in China. This is not a matter of population, but for the world's second largest trading coffee industry after oil, coffee has just started in China. But the industry you choose still has a future. Do a good job in quality, do your own style, do a good job in service, and make money slowly. The location of opening a shop is still the most critical, as long as the place is well managed, you can't pay for it, but there are risks in opening a store and investing in it. Entrepreneurs think twice before taking action.

Open a coffee shop with Internet thinking

I have known since childhood that there is a kind of people called "other people's children". They are excellent in character and learning, have excellent skills, and bring their own halo wherever they go. They are not only the pride of teachers and parents, but also the object of their peers' hatred and envy. My good friend LEE is such a person.

LEE's parents are both teachers, teaching and educating people for many years, but their proudest "work" is LEE. From key kindergartens, key primary schools, key middle schools to key senior high schools, he has made everything that we have tried our best to achieve.

When rebellion, the massive adolescent flu, happened to all of us, LEE was not affected at all. When we listened to the "freewheeling" on the tape about our personality, and when we talked loudly about which girl in the class next door was more handsome, LEE worked hard for awards and certificates as usual.

After the college entrance examination, LEE was admitted to a famous university in Shanghai. After four years of college, we didn't have much contact. I just heard that he is as good as before. On the eve of graduation, he successfully got the offer of one of the top 500 foreign companies in the world, and his future is limitless.

I thought my life with LEE would never intersect again until one day two years ago, LEE asked me to meet at a bar near my home. Unlike what I expected the social elite to look like, LEE was dressed as a trendy man. After the pleasantries, LEE said to me, "I quit my job and intend to go back to Qingdao and start over."

You know, he now earns one million a year and is in the ascending stage of his career. In the face of my puzzled face, he understated: "I used to live for others, but I am in charge of everything in the future." Don't look at me with such adoring eyes. I'm going to open a coffee shop. I need your help in a lot of places. "

That night, we talked very late, LEE told me his plan very seriously, and I saw the excitement of LEE "spatter" for the first time!

From the next day, there is no delay, site rental, business procedures, store decoration, staff recruitment …... Three months later, the coffee shop opened! The name "OneDay" was chosen by LEE himself. He said he hoped to live his life every day in the future, and every day was full of expectations.

The 100-square-meter shop, excluding the bathroom and bar, can hold about 30 guests. In the first few months, when the store was busiest every day, the seats were not full, so a barista and a waiter were enough to handle everything in the store.

During that time, LEE met a group of hikers who loved outdoor sports, and there were always pictures of him occupying the hills in his circle of friends. Once I teased him: "it's just that you don't work as a vase in the store to attract more customers, and you go to the wild mountains to feed mosquitoes. Isn't it too straightforward for you to throw your hands in the cupboard?" "Brother, it's enough to rely on strength alone. If I look good again, I won't let others live! "I really didn't realize that LEE was quite thick-skinned before.

The coffee shop has gradually accumulated a little fame, and it has gradually become a fixed "den" for many regular customers to talk about things and kill time. Although he later hired two more waiters, Lee was very busy all day long. During that time, every time a friend asked him out for a drink, he said, "it's been a tough day. Let's take a rain check." It has become a consistent reply from LEE, and there is no sign of him in moments.

Although I often advise him not to take it seriously, I also know that some things must be done by him himself: not only to discuss business with upstream customers, but also to be busy doing accounts, inventory, tallying and restocking every day. Piecemeal, miscellaneous, busy is certain.

Suddenly one day, I found that LEE's moments were "resurrected" again, with new products from coffee shops and photos of him around the world.

LEE posted photos of hiking tours in moments.

Post the operating ledger of a coffee shop entrepreneur

In first-and second-tier cities, coffee shops stand on both sides of the road. Nowadays, with the rise of coffee culture in China, coffee shops have become the object of investment, but there is no bottom line for the cost of opening coffee shops. Next, let's take a look at the business ledger of a coffee shop entrepreneur. How much does it cost to open a coffee shop?

I have opened a coffee shop in Beijing, and the cost of a small coffee shop is the cheapest. In fact, the loft is quite expensive, ranging from 5000 to 20000. If you paint the wall, you can brush it yourself (if you can brush 8 square meters of latex paint, 16-20 yuan per square meter), change to a simple ceramic tile floor (90 yuan per square meter for the cheapest brick, even 90 yuan per square meter), and make a glass window (window, using 12mm toughened glass, which is about 200 yuan per unit). Make a minibus (500,900mm in stainless steel), about 14 tables (wooden seats in line with the coffee shop feel 200,500), a better imported coffee machine is more durable, a more professional semi-automatic espresso machine at 10000-50000 depends on your own decisions, other materials and machines.

Coffee shop essential equipment and materials:

1 is the signboard outside, you can do blister signs with LED lights inside, many chain stores in Beijing use blister (blister is also good or bad, for example, the blister material used in the signboard of 7-11 is imported brighter, of course, the price is also expensive) you can also use different materials to design your own unique signboard and decoration can be discussed.

2 is the kitchen room decoration, kitchen decoration can also be divided into open kitchen and hidden kitchen, because the store to give up as much space as possible for customers to sit down, so the kitchen should be excellent and concise, a brief summary of the equipment required is as follows:

An ice maker with an ice production capacity of 90 kg per day (try to buy a larger ice capacity because almost all drinks made in summer deal with ice)

Equipment 2 small ovens one needs an oven to make sandwiches or hot dogs

(if you don't want to make your own cakes from other stores, you need a bigger oven to help you test chocolate cake, cheesecake, etc.)

Device 3 coffee machine (professional coffee shops use semi-automatic espresso machines including large chain stores such as Starbucks)

Equipment 4 refrigerator (probably need three double-door freezers and refrigerators one each, these two should be placed in the kitchen four-door large freezer and one can be placed in the storeroom)

Equipment 5 one smoothie machine (making smoothie or ice products)

Equipment 6 A juicer (fruit juice or fruit and vegetable juice)

Device 7 A microwave oven (microwave ovens are needed to heat food and make some materials)

Equipment 8 A blender (in fact, there is this without a juicer)

Equipment 9 refrigerated display cabinet (show your cake snacks)

Equipment 10 two sets of filter for tap water purifier (one for coffee maker and the other for direct drinking water)

Equipment 11 small frying machine (French fries or chicken nuggets or something)

Equipment 12 disinfection cabinet (needless to say unless you are using disposable cutlery)

Note: other necessary equipment, other bits and pieces, and a lot of other things. If you want to make some Chinese food, you need to add some equipment (or you can only buy ready-made Chinese food bags that can be heated and poured out).

The above equipment is only a more commonly used part, and there are many other equipment according to the needs of different stores.

1. Bean grinder system:

MAZZER Super Jolly grinder made in Italy, Rancilio Rocky grinder made in Italy, single grinder made in Japan, Fuji electric grinder R-220 ghost teeth 220V imported from Japan, the price is about 3000 yuan, or Mazzer Mini Italian quantitative coffee grinder, belonging to commercial professional Italian grinder, is a professional grinder, suitable for professional coffee shops, the price is about 4000 yuan,

Opening a cafe should be a dream of many people, but most of them can only dream about it. How does a cafe with thirteen executive shareholders get started? Site selection, decoration, rent, catering, documents, promotion, recruitment, finance, how to solve these specific problems?

Coffee shop twenty think, record coffee shop preparation process bit by bit, sometimes is some thought on the fragmentary fragment, recollection and feeling, also want to open coffee shop friends some reference.

First thought: dream = dream?

Opening a cafe should be a dream of many people, but most of them can only dream about it. After all, everyone knows that behind all kinds of sentiment, petty bourgeoisie, literature, small fresh rock, outdoor idyllic cafes, there are countless thunder pits and a heavy income statement. I'm not that capable of doing everything from start to finish. We were thirteen executive shareholders, one of whom had spent two years negotiating the site, and the other of whom was stationed in the store to take care of all the chores. Standing at the starting point of this waste waiting to be revived, I want to record the dribs and drabs in the process for everyone's entertainment.

Second thought: rent is the last word

It is said that the rent of shops along University Road is 12 yuan, 12 yuan per square meter per day. That is, for a place of 100 square meters, the monthly rent will be about 40,000 yuan. In addition to property, labor, water, electricity and coal (this electricity is commercial electricity, which is more expensive than domestic electricity), the operating cost will be about 100,000 yuan per month. Coffee shops are not as good as restaurants. The unit price of customers generally does not exceed 100 yuan, and the turnover rate is extremely low...

Third thought: a good name is a good start

Our venue used to be called "IPOclub", which was a bit…The key was that the owner still refused to change it. Of course, it is possible to add a prefix to the curve to save the country, but don't expect to be called a carving light, cat empty or the like. Can you imagine a place called "Time Station @IPOclub"? Of course, the ox is from the ox, who saw Lanting for the first time, will think of it as an e-commerce?

Fourth thought: How many good shareholders do you have?

We are thirteen executive shareholders, eleven men and two women…As for the matter of naming names, we have completely exploded. All kinds of strange names, strange flowers bloom, the process is quite happy, anyway, in the end is not the landlord crazy, male students crazy, or I crazy. There are many shareholders and few shareholders. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Which one is suitable for you?

Fifth thought: May bloom and lonely planet

When I went to Cambodia in the early years, I saw two books most frequently, Cambodia May Bloom and LP Cambodia. The former is suitable for leisurely afternoon tea reading other people's mood notes, but if you are carrying a bag under the sun walking in the streets of Cambodia, then can only help you is the latter. Friends have recommended two books,"Just want to open a small coffee shop" and "Best Coffee Shop 86 purchase opening tips," the former tells you that opening a coffee shop is not a business, but a way of life, the latter tells you to do a good job in the business of the coffee shop, it may become a way of life.

Sixth thought: the evidence

The so-called aptitude is to worship all kinds of gods and invite all kinds of certificates. Business license of industry and commerce, tax registration certificate of national tax and local tax, food hygiene license of health supervision office, fire safety license, health certificate of employees, etc. Every witness has a story. The left hand examines the certificate, the right hand handles the certificate, only then understands this world, who who all is not easy.

Seventh thought: standing on the shoulders of giants

According to friends, before he opened, he and his two partners had gone to work in other cafes for a month each. We obviously can't do so diligently. We can only learn from others orally. You can expect that there will always be some thunder, knowing that it is there, you will still step on it, there will always be some pits waiting for you to jump, and then climb out and tell others, please detour.

The eighth thought: when the city management comes out, who will fight with it

The sponsor asked in the shareholder WeChat group,"Who knows the city management?" Dead silence. You're not an official, you're not a rich, you're just a bit of an idiot. You flew back from JFK and SFO with a shiny letter and a dream that others didn't understand. You may be lucky to stay in the ivory tower all your life and continue to dream, feeling that you are somebody, you may not be lucky, come out, but fall badly, at this time you find yourself just nobody, and the world is too big for you to fear, some need respect, some need fear.

Ninth thought: congenital deficiency, shareholders to make up

Crowdfunding and crowdsourcing seem to blossom everywhere in a day. Existence is reasonable. We were eleven men and two women, and none of us had ever done serious catering, so we recruited a shareholder in charge of catering. Designers charge per square meter, but we are stupid in that place. Therefore, we are looking forward to a designer shareholder falling from the sky and stepping on the free colorful clouds to save us.

Number 10: Say something vulgar.

Someone asked the practical question,"How much does it cost to play once?" The budget isn't quite done yet, and I'm not sure how much it will cost. It should be enough for Chanel Classic Flap, but not enough for Hermes Birkin. No matter how beautiful Chanel is, I can't suppress my strong diaosi temperament, so I choose not to carry it on my back, but to open it on the roadside. Just, decoration, catering, promotion, recruitment, finance, have you ever seen Chanel so difficult to manage?

Eleven thoughts: club setting, canteen temperament

The structural designer is said to be a foreigner, up and down, extending in all directions, very spatial sense. A few bars that looked like the front desk of the company, a small blackboard newspaper on the wall, glass bead curtains, and strange chairs created a harmonious atmosphere in the company canteen. During the shareholders 'meeting, he couldn't help but slap the table and stand up."Change all these chairs for me!" Of course, that is, if the finance department approves it. In addition, the product manager will also say that no matter how ugly the chair is, it is also a chair. It cannot be used indoors and can be placed outdoors first.

Twelve thoughts: there is no boss who is not bitter in the world

Friends called tonight's party, but I usually mix Changning, evening to go to the shop of small Yangpu meeting, and usually mix small Yangpu He guide, evening to Jing 'an his shop care. In most start-up shops, someone has to work day and night for all kinds of trivial chores, either me or TA. You think you go to a cafe and consume the mood, but you are wrong. What you consume is someone else's bitterness.

Thirteen thoughts: how good suggestions must be feasible

There are always some friends who love criticism and challenge. They like to send Weibo @ me, and then start to complain about our client. The account cannot be logged in, the map location is not accurate, and even the merchant attitude is not good. I don't know how to code, I don't know how to map, I'm not the founder, I'm ashamed of my love for my folks, the only thing I can do is apologize. In fact, I also want to give our IPO club a high-end foreign position, and then Tian Luo girl overnight change the old appearance, but even if the horse whip, also have to take care of the horse and whip feelings.

Fourteen think: let me hear your needs

The first thought of this coffee shop series led to calves with the same cafe complex; the ninth led to the furniture supplier Shun Ma and the Chi Wei team that worked as a coffee bean social enterprise in Laos; and fourteen wanted to lead to the coffee shop designer Zhou Meng. Thank you very much! I also have a wish to find an illustrator to collect 108 ideas and 108 illustrations. And then. Call for the dragon.

Fifteen think: in the 21st century, what we lack most is talents.

The Starbucks sister downstairs from her former employer always greets, "work overtime again today, don't work too hard." Although I know it is a model product under strict training, I still feel that it is much fresher than the bad face in the office. Most of the guests who came to the coffee shop did not know who was behind it, so the coffee girl became the facade of the shop.

Sixteen thought: who will buy my coffee?

"one step away from three cities", retail location has always been a knowledge. But we were chosen by the "address". The advantage is that there is no need for us to pinch the clock all over the street to measure the flow of people, nor do we need to study the urban planning drawings to understand the current and future traffic trends, let alone a reasonable battle of wits with the landlord. But the downside is, the mountain did not come to me, I can only go to the mountain.

Seventeen thoughts: iPhone and Lahua

I thought it was very interesting when I first came out with the general guide to install the cavity. Later, there was some aesthetic fatigue, and I always felt that the tide was a little too much. For example, the "Coffee cavity Guide", the female Ber who wears 400-degree myopic lenses like this tone best. They always order a cappuccino, latte or fancy mocha, are far more interested in the flower than the coffee itself, and then take out a printed iPhone and take a few filter art photos and upload them to Instagram. In fact, not many of the guests who come to the cafe are experienced coffee shoppers.

There are so few people who are so particular about the origin and craftsmanship of coffee beans that in most cases it is impossible to keep a coffee shop. We need serious coffee drinkers, ordinary people who are interested in Lahua, and people who are willing to use iPhone to share on instagram,Facebook, Weibo, Wechat and other social media, regardless of whether the TA is real or fake. What life needs is to turn a blind eye, the flower is actually quite beautiful, no matter how it tastes.

Eighteen think: one kilowatt-hour of electricity, a drop of water, when thinking is hard-won

At the shareholders' meeting today, we combed the budget again and found that with our area and a maximum of more than ten meters, the air conditioner would be a bottomless pit. Someone once suggested that the "golden mean" of air-conditioning temperature is a knowledge to make the guests who come in in the summer feel cool all of a sudden, but they will not be so comfortable that they stay in the store for a long time. But in any case, the shop is open, the business needs to be done, and the air conditioner must be turned on, so that guests can not be sweated to live a low-carbon life. The roof and metope are planted with moss and green plants, which can be physically cooled and replaced with hollow glass to reduce heat dissipation. Another shareholder said that he could consider making a water curtain and use the program to control the amount of water out of the water. Energy conservation and emission reduction, building a harmonious ecological environment, accidentally, we are also the main theme.

Nineteen want to: Less is more

Americans with few pursuits have filtered out the complex coffee culture and turned the bitter espresso into Starbucks with a lot of water and milk. they say, don't be too fastidious, almost. The important thing is that we are in harmony and happy together. It turned out to be popular everywhere except that the Italians could not accept it. About, this can be applied to the domestic popular saying, "the winner and loser wins the world."

Twenty thoughts: coffee beans

Before my family bought a coffee machine, my whole concept of coffee beans was a cash crop growing in the hot south. Later, when I began to buy beans and brew coffee, I found that the original origin, altitude, and baking methods all determined the different tastes of coffee, and the knowledge was prohibitive. A friend of mine does Strategy & BD in a foreign company and runs a small coffee bean bakery in his spare time, with all kinds of high-end, literature and art.
