What kind of equipment does the new coffee shop need? Hot mom, does the coffee machine work? How about EK43 bean grinder?

There may be many people who open coffee shops in the hope of choosing their own living conditions and realizing [freedom of time], but actually want to experience a new role [as a boss] (do not accept rebuttal).

Is it business? Or a dream?

Everyone has a dream of opening a shop. TV idols always habitually depict the life of the cafe as leisurely and romantic, with a long aftertaste of coffee. Every day, the sun shines into the house, watering flowers and wiping the table to make money.

The sentence "dream is full, reality is bony" is no stranger to everyone. When it comes to selling coffee, people generally think that the profit will be very high. "find a place to decorate casually, buy a coffee maker and bean grinder, and set up a few seats to open! You don't have to invest a lot. "

However, when the store really opened, the real challenge began.

It may be better to run a store as a partner, and if you are alone, be prepared: even if you hire a clerk to help share the service, you will still stay in the store for a long time to maintain the quality of service in the store. but also as a baker and other multiple identities.

Every day there are a lot of trivial things to deal with, as if "very busy", but do not know what has been done and the day has passed, slowly losing personal life and interest.

If you don't set yourself a business goal or team plan, you may be stuck in the store and don't have the energy to think about the store's business strategy for a long time; you don't even have time to analyze and summarize the data. If you can't hand it over, you can only rely on yourself day after day, year after year.

With good equipment, ≠ has a good business.

Hot mom, EK, mythos one maybe you are ready, for the store you may have done everything yourself, giving up the normal routine and holiday time. But in this period of fierce competition, skyrocketing rents and high investment in equipment, do you think you can invigorate your store just by doing what you said above? The answer is obvious. If you don't have a ruler in mind, you may still be staring at the business report every month.

After entering the coffee industry "really", you will find that the more experienced the veteran is, the worse the machine and equipment you choose will not be too top-notch.

Don't forget, rent and manpower are the bulk of the operation, and you need to balance the input cost before opening a store.

Break through the system

The concept of a team is not as simple as inviting an individual to stand. Do you know what kind of people you need right now? Are the employees to be hired aware of your business objectives? Can he really share the work and stress?

Laijun, head of the operation of large and small coffee, said: only when you are a "shopkeeper" will you really care about the customer's consumption experience, and then stimulate the potential of the store. Not only focus on materials, costs, products, scheduling and other routine work.

"in fact, from the name, we can interpret 'bar manager' and 'store manager'. Both of them put more emphasis on the production and production standards of products; in terms of job functions and space, they seem to be limited their imagination and creativity, and they are only the executors of the brand. "

Turn yourself into an expert, become a barista.

Only when you become someone who knows coffee can you control your own coffee shop and manage your own team. It's hard to open a coffee shop, and when you start a business, it's normal to work 12-14 hours a day.

You can't fantasize about opening a coffee shop, do more research and preparation in the early stage, and don't open it blindly. Have an understanding of your strengths, analyze and judge where your profit point is before opening a store, and have a plan for your profit.

Choose partners carefully

On a case-by-case basis, we will not deliberately avoid it because we know that there are problems; the character and areas of expertise of partners are best complementary, not overlapping, and the most important thing is to trust each other and speak bluntly.
