Of that number, 14 billion are Italian espresso coffees  \n• Coffee is grown in 50 countries in Asia, Africa, South and Central America, and the Caribbean.  \n• Over 25 million people live off coffee farms  \n• Despite the variety of flavours, there are only two types of coffee beans-Arabica and Robusta  \n• Brazil, Columbia, and Vietnam are top producers of coffee  \n• Finns consume more coffee per capita than any other nation in the world, at 12 kilos per person annually  \n• Discovered in Ethiopia circa 800 AD, coffee wasn’t so widely accepted at first. In some countries it was linked to riots and Satan. Terrible!  \n• The average worker spends $20 on coffee per week or $1,100 per year (US$)  \n• Coffee is a fruit. Coffee beans are called beans only because of their resemblance to actual beans  \n$$$ Aroma of the Coffee Shop Business  \n“As long as there was coffee in the world, how bad could things be?” Cassandra Clare  \nCoffee is everywhere. It has long ago become a part of our daily routines. We drink it at home to get ready for a long day ahead, to rejuvenate in the afternoon at work, and to have a reason to get together with friends. It is no surprise that collectively the world consumes 500 billion cups of coffee every year. Worth over $100 billion, coffee is one of the most sought after commodities that ranks second only to oil. Coffee is ahead of natural gas, gold, corn, and sugar. What makes it so lucrative? Coffee is a universal drink. Everyone from a middle-aged plumber to a college student to a senior hedge fund manager craves a cup of black goodness. Selling this cup can make you a lot of money.  \nCoffee shops are profitable endeavours. The industry’s reigning king Starbucks is the third largest restaurant chain in the U.S.A. Yes, you can get far by doing just one thing right – making great coffee. And Starbucks isnot the only business that is aware of it. According to the industry’s data, coffee shops are the fastest growing niche and the least likely to fail (a mere 10% failure rate) in the restaurant business. It is not hard to see why.  \nProfit margins for coffee are incredibly high – essentially, you are selling a product that is more than 95% water. Coffee drinks are not made the same and their prices vary. For a cup of brewed coffee in the States you can expect to pay less than a dollar, at a fast food chain a dollar, at a specialty coffee chain over $2, and at a high-end coffee bar anywhere from $5 to $7 (USA currency) . A similar breakdown can be done for the UK European Asian and Australian Market. Numerous factors influence the price point, but generally speaking, coffee shop owners see a 70% profit margin (PM) on coffee drinks. Evidently, selling coffee is a great business idea.  \nWhy Write a Business Plan?  \n• To have a clear development plan  \n• To know your profit margins so that you make money not lose money  \n• To project how much inventory is needed for your business on a daily, weekly, monthly basis  \n• To develop an efficient coffee shop layout that drives sales  \n• To plan how many employees to hire and how much you can pay them  \n• To set service rules (employee conduct, product preparation, health code compliance, standard customer greeting, customer issues resolution, etc.)  \n• To create a marketing plan that you can start executing before your grand opening  \n• To draft your branding strategy that makes your business standout among other coffee shops  \n• To secure a lease space  \n• To determine your pricing strategy  \n• To analyse and draw conclusions about your business’s performance over time  \n• To raise investment capital  \n• To receive a bank loan  \n• To attract business partners/sponsors  \nBusiness Plan: Coffee Beans to Your Business  \n“Ideas are like legs: what good are they ifyou can't run with them, ","cbCaitHsNRbFt0uq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitHsNRbFt0uq","pdf",631394,46,"English","# Step 2: What You Did or Didn’t Know about Coffee\n## Aroma of the Coffee Shop Business\n## Why Write a Business Plan?\n## Business Plan: Coffee Beans to Your Business","[{\"question\":\"Why is writing a coffee shop business plan important?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a clear development plan, helps you understand profit margins, and enables forecasting for inventory, staffing, layout, and service rules before opening.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the guide say about coffee market appeal?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes coffee’s universal demand, its strong profitability for shop owners, and the variation in drink pricing across fast food, specialty, and high-end venues.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the business plan help with financing and partnerships?\",\"answer\":\"A well-written plan supports raising investment capital, getting bank loans, and attracting business partners or sponsors by demonstrating professionalism and direction.\"}]","Your Coffee Shop Business Plan Guide & Template - Step 2 | PDF",1790098474]
