This was exactly what i needed to hear, Its so easy to over-complicate things and not concentrate on the core of your business. Thank you!

A local coffee shop hosts regular esl events to fill out slow hours. I think a really smart move is to choose a great location in the first place.

This is so good, appreciate the advice.

raise sales = negotiate better cost for inventory (buy in bulk) that's the only way to go instead of cutting cost.

[@OHANA-Beach-Suites-CDO]

Let's gooooo! Thanks mate!

[@jr87signature]

Great clip bro!! 👏

[@stephaniealbert6448]

Thanks for your video! Could I please just ask, what was it that you did to start understanding the financial aspects of running a business? Do you have any sort of business degree? I'm really trying to understand this side of business.

[@doubleaa658]

I run a business similar to Rents and bills are under 5k Labor around 15k with payroll tax Cost of good 20k And doing 70 in sales a month that leaves me with 30 gross profit

[@commercialkitchendesign]

Great video and advice

High cost of coffee machine Customers traffic is only from morning till tea break at best. You don't get anymore good traffic after 3pm.

[@judichristopher4604]

That is when you need "Tea Time" 4 pm with FOOD

[@TheExpeditionUK]

In summary, Be consistent e.g. opening times, staffing levels Good coffee Good food Good service Good atmosphere Offer discount during quiet times Shorten menu e.g. remove unprofitable items We are thinking of removing salads, chips and rice from most dishes and offering them as sides. This should reduce food waste but also make the menu look less expensive at a glance.

$700,000 Turnover and you only net $15,000? Doesn't make any sense.

[@donaldlyons17]

I just wonder why he is not focused on repeat customers first and gaining new customers second.... Like the customer is the one paying everyone.....

[@doubleaa658]

Earning 700k a yeah should take home 200k easy

[@MattKiser-so3ly]

Truly is as basic as it gets. If this video had something to teach you about operating any business, you have a very long winding road ahead of you.

[@dominikschaefer7626]

Probably, but that’s why the video is great. It bridges the gap between coffee and shop, subtly advising to research finance instead of roast times and might just save people from expensive mistakes. The target group would not be saved by a 60m Business Basics course, because they wouldn’t watch it in the first place.

Know your numbers and evade taxes

[@photon6100]

all too many cafes hire a couple of sour humans. Each new person who comes in and encounters a toxic barista will vote with their feet and that is for sure but nearly impossible to tabulate. Hire people with conventional good manners. they can bring an edge,that's fine but the business is not about them.
