One question: How much does it cost to open a coffee shop?

Let's look at success stories first.

Coffee:

More than 60 stores in two years, the expansion speed for the new brand has been very amazing, when it comes to profit Man Coffee President Xin Zixiang layer revealed that more than 60 stores have 36 stores are profitable, each store invested about 2 million yuan in the early stage.

Carving Time:

In 1996, Zhuang Zi took out more than 100,000 yuan from his family as capital, rented a small room in Chengfu Road Hutong, which is adjacent to the university and has a strong cultural atmosphere. The front is a coffee shop, the middle is a kitchen, and the back is a residence. He moved the books from home, hired three people to mix coffee and cash register, and a coffee shop with less than 10 tables opened.

In 2002, the cost of opening a store also soared all the way, Wudaokou store and Lido store almost reached more than 900,000 yuan.

The hardware and software required for a cafe are as follows: 1. menu (coffee, pastries and light meals) 2. equipment for producing money (coffee machine, oven, microwave oven, gas oven, smoothie machine, refrigerator, freezer, etc.) 3. hardware equipment (air conditioning, lighting equipment, etc.) 4. utensils 5. design and decoration (bar design, cafe style and color, table and chair furniture, etc.)

Among these five elements, the menu is the most basic, which will determine which equipment and hardware equipment need to be purchased, and will also affect the bar design. If you only want to open a coffee shop with "coffee + pastry" at the beginning, the bar design is relatively simple; but if you find that it is impossible to maintain the operation after opening, you will find that the bar may not have space to place the smoothie machine when you want to increase the smoothie products; If you want to add a simple meal again, and you don't plan the kitchen at the beginning, the problem will be even bigger, and even you need to redecorate the part, which is another large expense. Therefore, at the beginning of the business, we must think clearly about the coffee shop sales project.

Question 2: What do you do early?

I. Positioning_Decide on business model first and then consider style

Coffee only, or coffee + cake, or coffee + cake + light meal? Also, is it a single-store operation, or a complex coffee shop allied with other businesses (such as a bookstore)? This was something that had to be thought through first.

II. Financial planning-flexible design and decoration

In terms of coffee shop funding planning, the following expenses must be included:

1. income-generating equipment

2. hardware device

3. vessel

4. design decoration

5. Rent (first month rent +3 months deposit =4 months rent)

6. raw materials

7. Personnel expenses (e.g. salaries for hourly workers)

8. Miscellaneous (utilities)

9. Reserve fund that can maintain the deficit operation of the cafe for at least 5 months [(rent + raw materials + personnel expenses + miscellaneous expenses) ×5]

Among them, the decoration budget is most likely to get out of control, flexible, should be appropriate to local conditions, if there is no experience should not be too much input.

III. Professional_technology is not in place, everything is free of discussion

The quality of the coffee beans and the technique of brewing coffee are the keys to determining the customer return rate.

IV. Location_Don't be superstitious about prime location

Crowds are not equal to money tides. It is recommended that entrepreneurs spend at least one week when choosing a location to observe the local crowd attributes and consumption patterns. Each location has a different way of rest, crowd gathering time is also different, if the cafe is open in the office area, Monday to Friday noon is the most important business hours, you can use Sunday rest; on the contrary, if it is in the entertainment area or shopping area, weekend rest is obviously not with money.

Cost control-how much does a cup of coffee cost?

Usually boil a cup of coffee to use 15- 20 grams of coffee beans, a pound of coffee can usually boil 25- 30 cups of coffee, and a cup of coffee required creamer (or milk) and sugar, the cost is about 1 yuan between, in addition to paper cups, tissues, stir bars and other materials. So the raw material cost of a cup of coffee is roughly between 2- 4 yuan. Also, don't forget to add up the cost of rent, water, electricity, personnel, equipment depreciation, etc., plus a certain percentage of profit is the price of a cup of coffee.

VI. Customer training_fine water and long flow to establish public praise

Opening a cafe is like chasing a girlfriend. It takes time to brew. A few years ago, coffee shops were quite profitable, but with the increasing number of competitors and the strong involvement of chain coffee shops, it is increasingly difficult to open a dream coffee shop with its own style. As long as it is a conscientious coffee supplier, it will warn entrepreneurs not to try to get rich overnight by opening a coffee shop.
