[@OgnianHristov-f8k]

Great video, I had very successful tiny coffee shop for 13 years, unfortunately had to close, because landlord sold the building. I am planning to open another place in different country and I find very informative about roasting my own beans.

[@UpFlip]

Wow, that's a long time in the industry! We wish you continued success as you re-open! ☺️

[@stevec404]

Very interested in how the 'points system' works...did I miss that? It seems separate from the free cup after twelve have been purchased. Subscribed.

[@marybatiancila5984]

Appreciate the support!

In the 70s Dunkin donuts used to make the donuts in the store.... now they don't.

[@brentford2601]

excellent

[@UpFlip]

Thank you! Cheers Brent!

[@MacopaCoffee]

I will be like you sir.

[@Powner187]

I would love to do this but the bank that owns a property I want has a price of 350k. It is a empty car wash parking lot with cracks and weeds in the asphault. It is priced for rich franchises that don't care to over pay.

[@UpFlip]

Thanks for watching Eric. Have you considered asking the bank for an option to rent? If it's just sitting collecting dust, they may consider it as they would still be making money. Or maybe try looking at other properties. Don't give up on your dreams. 😀

[@ivanplatamartinez1134]

Can you do a video on a restaurant business?

[@UpFlip]

We sure can! We're actually publishing a video of a restaurant this Monday!

[@jasmineusa3895]

I’m the owner of restaurant. I like to watch this channel!

[@anthonyjoyce2757]

Anyone know the track playing @17:41?

[@UpFlip]

I got you, friend! It's called Freeway by Veshza. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6LVaGx_i5mSjrc

[@timenswijtink]

It goes to show that the American Dream is much less within reach of every American than it was even 18 years ago as 23K then is still only 35K today, clearly not enough for a good coffee shop.

[@UpFlip]

Have you checked out our other videos yet Timen?

[@timenswijtink]

@@UpFlip Yes, I am enjoying your videos. And my comment is meant more in general, not in all industries.

[@flexbillbert5802]

Hire the equipment. Be successful 1st. Loads here to learn, though. Thanks

[@studymusicanddals]

I can only imagine him being able to take advantage of the real estate tax advantages for his business if he did buy real estate.

[@bringingclaritytoconfusion3605]

I always wondered that but a large number of companies lease. I think they are taking advantage of the lease being a write off too..

[@mattheweeles8442]

@@bringingclaritytoconfusion3605 both are write offs, but as he said, it's incredibly capital-intensive to buy real estate vs. taking the same amount of money and opening 3-4 locations. Yes you can argue real estate appreciates as an asset class, but does that bump outweigh the additional profits that could be made with additional locations vs. a singular one.

[@ABD-j1r2x]

Anything but Starbucks 😏 Please come to California we have nothing 😢

[@UpFlip]

Thanks for watching Rat Burl. Are there too many Starbucks around you? Would you ever consider getting into this type of business?

[@liftedones]

In my opinion opening a bunch of stores and creating a chain of cafes is quite disgusting it takes away the uniqueness of your brand as well create distance between you and your employees. If you are driven by only sales and profits then sure all power to you. I just think owning cafe is about community building and creating an environment where people can thrive. It's not always about money, sure you want your cafe to sustain but why not create a space of growth for community. Anyways carry on. Everybody is different.

[@lovecapitalismnosocialism1580]

Couldn’t somebody say they’re in the middle of an interview to hold down the noise a little bit oh my God how disrespectful

[@BoneHeadPlaysGames]

The production on these videos is so high it makes it feel canned and unauthentic.

[@DerbyMods]

Him justifying paying his baristas less because of tips and then tipping felt out of touch because they literally made him the money he tipped them with. Just pay them a tiny bit more and they’ll feel better not being at minimum wage.

[@maridr]

People are struggling and it is a culture to give a tip? What? Is it enough just to pay the coffee without a tip and just pay your employees a right salary.
