Summary

Driving around the city in any metropolitan areas we all see trendy coffee shops everywhere and not all of them are Starbucks. Do you ever wonder why there are so many new boutique coffee shops popping up everywhere? Well, according to National Coffee Association (www.ncausa.org), it is not a hoax, but the new trend and this is the reality. The coffee industry and the coffee shop business have boomed in recent years, especially with regards to specialty coffees.

Here is what CCAUSA has gathered from their research:

  • Out of home coffee consumption has reached a new high of 46% in 2017
  • 59% of coffee consumed daily is gourmet coffee
  • In the US more than 65% of the adult population drinks coffee every day: that means roughly about 70 million daily coffee drinkers
  • 66% of people in the US buy their daily coffee outside their home
  • Gross profit margin for most coffee shops is around 85%
  • In the US the coffee shop business is a 10 billion dollar industry

Let these numbers sink in for a minute. Let’s agree that all these numbers are saying one thing - that is the coffee industry has been on the rise for last few years, and it will continue to grow.

This is what you will learn in this book:

nice overview

provides a nice overview of entering the industry. if you're a UK listener then some stuff won't be relevant but it's generally full of good practices. I would have liked deeper details but that probably isn't within the scope of this book.

Efficient guide

I got this audiobook because I had recently started a business development course, and the business plan was to create, design and pull up the budget etc, for a coffee shop. This book was fantastic at helping to break down costs, getting you asking the right questions, has you considering everything from milk frothers to ambient music. I cannot recommend it enough for anyone wanting to be budget conscious, and to get an idea of the pitfalls or stops of running their own coffee house.

Sam Slydell did a brilliant job narrating.

great insight into running a coffee shop business

I'm based in the UK so not everything that was written in this book applies to me, but nonetheless I did find it a really useful insight into some of the considerations when starting a coffee shop. I'd highly recommend listening to this audio as a good place to begin to learn about how to run a coffee shop
