Eric Hammond replied to John Dowling's Coffee Shop 'Cost of wholesale roasted beans.....?' in the group Coffee Shops

As a roaster, I have a question. Who can afford to sell beans at $4 a pound? That's my purchase price for green on many I sell. We have a tiered system. Based on the price of the bean its self and how much people order. So, for instance, you only or…

Jared, admittedly I was looking for replies geared more towards the practice of buying for the future as opposed to conserving operations funding by starting with lower-end gear, but your recommendation looks incredible! Thank you very much! Looks…

Brady, thank you for the response. You made a great point about the opening week needing the higher capacity. I would imagine the opening week, as a first impression, would be critical in putting a shop's best step (and product) forward to encourag…

Brady replied to Mike Morand's Coffee Shop 'Business Planning - Equipment Capacity/Quality'
