How much coffee beans should a cafe use to run a coffee shop?

Cafes saving dozens of dollars on coffee beans will not really save your coffee shop costs and bring higher turnover, but will make your coffee shop more and more deviate from the direction of the coffee shop.

I know a bean seller who can supply 50-100 yuan / lb coffee beans. But he has not been very fond of selling coffee beans that are too cheap for many reasons, especially differences in taste. He often receives a phone call from a coffee shop to inquire about coffee beans. He usually quotes the price of high-quality coffee beans first, but he often hears the other side say: your coffee beans are too expensive, far beyond our heart price.

On this question, we have something to say: how much coffee beans should coffee shops use?

Coffee beans on the market can be divided into three price systems: 40 yuan per pound, 70 yuan per pound and 100 yuan per pound. You can also see how much the price difference of a pound of coffee beans can be. If you average it to a cup of coffee, the price difference will be 2 yuan per cup at most. And what is the impact of the price difference of 2 yuan per cup on a cafe?

Suppose a cafe can have 100 cups of coffee a day (90% of cafes can't), a pound of coffee beans can make about 35 cups of coffee, and a day needs about 3 pounds of coffee beans. Using 40 yuan per pound of coffee beans, the daily cost of coffee beans is 120 yuan. If you use 70 yuan / pound coffee beans, the daily cost of coffee beans is 210 yuan. Using a quantity of 100 yuan per pound, the cost of coffee beans per day is 300 yuan. How much does the cost difference of 200 yuan account for in the operation of the entire cafe? The cost difference of 200 yuan may make a big difference in the quality of coffee produced by our cafe, not to mention poor quality coffee beans can not reach this cup quantity.

If a coffee defined as a cafe does not take coffee as its main business, and guests do not want to try any more coffee because they can't get good coffee in the cafe, but not for coffee (other cafes are originally intended to drink coffee, but are disappointed with coffee), how much coffee can we expect to sell in our cafe? How much longer can we expect our coffee shop to operate?

Often tell friends that cafes should have their own characteristics and give guests a reason to remember and be willing to come. At present, when the coffee in most cafes is not delicious, you can provide delicious coffee for the guests who come in. I think he will also tell his friends that the coffee in that cafe is delicious. There are actually several pure cafes here, which is a trend. If we look at these stores attentively, we really find that the taste of their coffee is a reason to come back.

Some friends say that if they don't know anything about coffee, they will say that coffee has only one taste, that is bitterness, so how can we tell our guests that our coffee will be better than others? When I first came into contact with coffee, I thought so, but later I found out that this is not the case. Guests can tell the difference between good coffee and bad coffee. It's like ten restaurants in front of your house that sell "stir-fried cabbage". After you eat it once, you can also know which one is the best, although you can't give a reason. The same is true of coffee.

If the taste of a cafe is not good, but there are still guests going in, I think the reason for him to go in is not coffee, but the environment there. in fact, he has no hope for coffee itself. he just spent the money to sit in for a while, that's all. If so, what is the point of our coffee shop?

If, I say, if your coffee shop is willing to give up reducing the so-called cost on coffee beans, give up the price difference of several tens of yuan a pound, and improve the quality of coffee in your own coffee shop. Willing to try boutique coffee beans to improve the taste of coffee in your coffee shop. I'm sure customers will be willing to share the fun of boutique coffee with you.
