Not too shabby, right? Yet, getting started requires a little more detail. So, we'll discuss each of these below. But before doing that, we need to consider several pre-planning elements as you start your coffee business.

Laying The Ground Work for a Successful Coffee Shop

Preparing to Start a Coffee Shop Business

As you formulate your thoughts about your coffee shop business, you will want to let these competing coffee shop concepts merge into a single vision. This vision will help you develop your action plan.

Here are a few critical recommendations as you set out to start a coffee shop:

Start Your Research.

When we start anything for the first time, we “don't know what we don't know.”

Dedicate yourself to learning as much as possible about opening a coffee business. You can do this in different ways. For example, you may work as a barista or train as a coffee roaster for a coffee shop. You may also have experience in other relevant fields, such as accounting, finance, marketing, or food service—all helpful in operating a coffee shop.

Consider exploring our coffee business blog for relevant topics and purchasing our Complete Coffee Shop Startups Kit. It is a complete coffee shop business course, with one-on-one interviews with experts and business owners, multiple guides, worksheets, and resources.

Write a Coffee Shop Business Plan

Your coffee shop business plan will serve as your road map. It will help lay out your vision and mission for yourself and other important stakeholders.

Business plans can be a powerful tool to help secure your funding through lenders and provide your future property manager with the necessary information.

A business plan is also essential for two crucial outside stakeholders: lenders and property managers. Both will likely require one before they enter into any financial arrangement with you.

Your plan should outline your coffee shop concept, target market, budget (costs), branding, income projections, and more.

Consider your business plan an opportunity to shine and strengthen your thoughts and ideas so that others can understand and believe in your vision. No doubt, your coffee shop business plan helps to connect all the dots – from your financial goals to your financial needs and everything in between.

Sections of a coffee shop business plan:

Your Executive Summary
Concept, Vision, and Mission
Business Structure Details
Budget and Funding
Coffee Shop Menu
Net Income Projections
Permits and Licensing Issues
Branding and Marketing

Consider the Startup Costs

Your specific coffee shop concept, menu, location, and vision will likely determine your costs. We discuss this in greater detail in our article, How Much Does a Coffee Shop Cost?

Still, you should be aware of specific elements that make up many of a coffee shop's costs.

Coffee shop costs are impacted by the following:

Your Coffee Shop Concept
Coffee Shop Menu
Coffee Shop Equipment
Location
Build out Costs
Legal and Administrative Fees
Contract work and Labor
Coffee Shop Equipment
Marketing

Determine Your Coffee Shop Budget & Funding Mix

After understanding your concept, location, menu, and coffee equipment needed, you'll want to put this together in a budget. It is recommended to write down every possible expense and put them into categories to help you keep track of all your anticipated expense areas.

Budgetary tips:

Be honest with yourself about the numbers
Diligently write everything down
Keep your “budget” updated
Determine where you will get the money from

Ways to Open a Coffee Shop Business

Starting a coffee shop, mobile, or drive-thru coffee stand business is a great way to make money and earn a living.

There are three main ways to start a coffee shop:

We'll skip the last two ways and focus on opening your coffee shop from scratch. But we're not going to pull any punches. Starting a coffee shop will take knowledge, determination, and hard work—and we're here to help you with that.

Determine Your Coffee Shop Concept & Vision

Developing your coffee shop concept is where you turn your ideas into action. Your coffee shop concept is a universal idea that combines all essential elements.

These elements include:

Vision & mission
Menu offerings
Your Unique Selling Point (USP)
Location and space
Customer experience

Your coffee shop's concept centers on the experience you want your customers to have when they walk through your doors.

A few questions might help you develop your concept:

What kind of experience would you like to provide your coffee customers?
What kind of products would you like to offer?
What location would be most accessible to the customers I'm trying to reach?

Whether you are starting your coffee shop on a shoestring budget or you have ample funds, determining your vision, menu offering, unique selling point, location, and customer experience can cost little, if any, money.

Build Your Coffee Shop Menu

Your coffee shop menu will be the foundation of your business planning.

Without your menu, you won't be able to determine your coffee equipment needs, estimated budget, physical space requirements, target market, and, thus, your geographic location.

Spend some time developing your coffee shop menu. For starters, visit potential vendors (For example, bakeries and wholesale sandwich vendors). It's also good to see what your competitors serve and how customers respond to their menus.

While coffee might be your central focus, other essential products (and money-makers) will play an important role in expanding your average ticket price. This may include beer, wine, and hot food.

Planning early is critical because your menu can boost your coffee business's startup costs, increase scrutiny from the health department, and require a more specialized space. These costs are offset by the potential to generate more sales and significant revenue with likely higher-margin food items.

Time Saver: Our Complete Coffee Shop Startups Kit has a Coffee Shop Menu Concept Worksheet to help you develop your menu.

Build a Coffee Shop Budget

How will you estimate your coffee shop startup costs?

Creating a coffee shop cost analysis that documents your costs will be necessary. This would likely include costs such as:

Initial startup costs
Materials for your build-out
Contract work design and layout
Coffee shop equipment
Barista training
Miscellaneous operational expenses
Inventory & Supplies
labor and payroll costs
Utilities

I recommend building your menu, considering potential equipment needs, and considering location costs when developing your budget. Once you have these elements, you can build your overall coffee shop budget.

Be honest with yourself and confront the anticipated costs directly. If you have a solid business plan and an excellent way to execute it, you will have a better chance of securing the money to start your coffee business.

Establish Your Coffee Business Shop Structure

When starting a coffee shop, you'll have several options to form your business. From a sole proprietor to a limited liability company (LLC) to a corporation, you have choices to set up your business legally.

You'll want to research which type of business formation will work best for you. From our experience, many independent coffee shop owners have found that establishing their coffee shop as an LLC has many benefits.

A legal business structure, like an LLC, is an important step that will help protect your assets and establish essential business elements, including your bank account, taxes, worker's compensation, liability, commercial auto insurance, etc.

Consider reviewing what business structure works best for you and the type of coffee business you set up. This entails examining your tax obligations, obligations to maintain your business entity, controlling funds, and liabilities.

In most states, creating your coffee shop business structure is usually done through your state's Secretary of State office. Some states have other designated departments.

What to do:

Determine the best business formation for you
Contact your state's Secretary of State's office
Register your business
Pay any fees
Apply for an EIN

Determine Your Competitive Advantage

What makes your coffee business unique?

Your competitive advantage will separate you from the rest of the competition and answer the question: Why do your customers choose to buy from your coffee shop rather than the competition?

Your competitive advantage is your North Star. It helps guide your priorities, training, branding, customer service, and marketing.

Your competitive advantage – or Unique Selling Proposition – plays to your strength and what your target market cares about.

Capture the essence of that difference, write it down in your business plan, and develop a barista training program around it.

Focusing and training to fulfill your competitive advantage will help you strengthen your position in your marketplace.

Create Your Coffee Shop's Brand

Branding your coffee shop business is fun and essential to generating value for your coffee business.

As consumers, we all have some understanding of what a brand is. We are likely seasoned shoppers; we know what brands we like and those we don't.

From the concept, colors, logo, and slogan, your branding will play a vital role in the perception of value your customers will have and the connection they feel about your business.

Whether you want to set up a coffee shop, drive-thru espresso stand, or a mobile coffee trailer, spend time and thoughtfully cultivate your coffee shop brand.

Determine Your Target Market

Every successful business solves a problem – even coffee shops. Believe it or not, you are solving someone's problem with coffee.

First, you must understand the problem and who you are solving it for to develop your target market.

Are your customers going to be:

Students waiting for the bus?
Commuters on their way to work?
Lunchtime casual coffee drinkers?

Knowing your target market requires you to do a little research and understand the traits and needs of your customers. Sometimes, this means understanding the demographics of your target coffee drinker with a specific geographic location.

Learn about your customers:

What is their income level?
Are they students or professionals?
What mode of transportation do they depend on?

Knowing your target market helps you with your entire effort and aligns your competitive advantage to better position your coffee shop, drives sales, and creates effective marketing.

Know Your Health Department Regulations

Every coffee business will fall under the jurisdiction of one health department's rules and regulations.

All coffee businesses require health department permits to operate legally. Your local health department will be a prominent agency signing off on your coffee shop's readiness for business.

It would help if you determined your contact within your local health department. Start early and decide what you need to do to meet their requirements.

Most health department agencies want you to succeed and will work with you, but you'll need to do your part and understand what is required for your business.

Time Saver: Our Complete Coffee Shop Startup Kit offers an informative look at one of the nation's seasoned health departments. It's worth listening to as it will allow you to think about the essential steps to addressing your health department's permitting.

Choose an Excellent Coffee Shop Location

Your coffee shop location will maximize or disable your potential success. Your coffee shop location is critical for the following:

Customer accessibility
Sales and repeat business
Customer convenience

Choose a location with high visibility, easy accessibility, and close to your target market.

As you would imagine, you need to start early with this part of your coffee shop business plan and evaluate the best coffee shop location for your business.

Consider exploring multiple coffee shop locations in the general area where you wish to do business. Find out where your competitors might be. Talk to neighboring residents and businesses. Determine the traffic flow of the area. Look at other “anchor” businesses, living spaces, and organizations like other restaurants, apartment buildings, dorm rooms, colleges, and office buildings.

In addition to looking at possible coffee shop locations, have a written business plan so you can readily give your plan and proposal to the property manager.

Your Coffee Shop Property Lease

You found the perfect coffee shop location, but the lease may ruin your business.

A good property lease may help promote your business and be an element that leads to your success. A poor lease, on the other hand, can pile up the challenges and cost you much more in the long run.

Signing a multi-year property lease that could cost you tens of thousands of dollars can be intimidating. Therefore, preparing for your coffee shop property lease and understanding more than the basics is essential.

Our Complete Coffee Shop Startup Kit offers a great discussion on your coffee shop property lease and location. While we don't offer any legal advice, we recommend that you listen to it before signing a lease.

How to Choose Your Coffee Equipment

Your coffee equipment needs will depend on your menu, concept, budget, space, and health department regulations.

To first determine your menu needs, consider asking the following questions:

Who is your target market?
What food or beverages does your target customer want?
Will you serve breakfast, lunch, snacks, or alcohol?

In addition to determining what food and products you will sell, your sales volume will play a big role in the size, brand, and model of your coffee shop equipment. For example, you may want a three-group espresso machine or two separate two-group espresso machines for high-volume coffee shops.

Consider estimating your future sales before buying your coffee equipment.

Having the wrong equipment will cost you more money in the short-run (and long-run) and lead to lost sales if your coffee equipment cannot handle the sales volume you may get.

Example of coffee equipment:

Espresso machine
Grinder(s)
Scales
Pitchers
Refrigerator(s)
Ice machine
Blender
Toaster oven
POS System
Coffee roaster (If you will roast your beans)

When you open a coffee shop, you will want to use NSF-labeled items to ensure commercial grade. Additionally, you may need to get and/or build out many other pieces of coffee-related equipment, supplies, and fixtures before you can open and serve your menu. These may include your electrical system, plumbing, physical coffee bar, seating, and other elements of your space. You will want to plan and budget for those items.

Time Saver: *Our Complete Coffee Shop Startup Kit contains an excellent hour-long discussion on coffee equipment that you want to hear before you buy anything.

For more information on coffee shop equipment, please read our post, Coffee Shop Equipment You Need to Start a Coffee Shop.

Explore Local Coffee Roasters

The quality of coffee matters.

You likely want to sell the best coffee possible when opening a coffee shop. Therefore, choosing where and how you get your coffee will be essential to success.

If you opened a wine shop, you would not aspire to sell mediocre wine, would you?

Make it a priority to learn about serving excellent coffee and the coffee roasting process and appreciate the effort that goes into developing delicious coffee taste profiles and blends. In time, you'll choose a wholesale coffee roaster that appeals to your tastes and favorable vendor terms.

Roasting Your Own Coffee Beans?

You can either roast your coffee beans or select a roaster to deliver their coffee to you.

While roasting your coffee beans can save you significant money in the long run, you probably already know that roasting your beans will take up much of your time and will require extra financial capital, including cash for a coffee roaster, equipment installation, and the administrative effort to coordinate purchases and deliveries of green beans.

If you buy your beans wholesale from an existing coffee roaster, I recommend approaching local coffee roasters early in your coffee shop business planning process. It will also be fun and exciting to speak to passionate coffee roasters, exploring different blends and how their coffee would fit into your menu, concept, and brand.

Pro Tip:

Many coffee roasters will offer a free “coffee cupping” for you to sample their coffee. I recommend visiting several local coffee roasters and attending their cuppings.

Feel free to reach out to local coffee roasters. Ask them to provide their wholesale cost of a coffee per pound and what type of support they could offer you if you served their coffee.

Analyze the Coffee Shop Competition

Your coffee shop will likely have competition from other local businesses. This is not necessarily bad, as competition often drives businesses to improve.

However, knowing what competition exists in your market and how you will respond to it is essential – and vital to act upon. For starters, you will want to determine the experience other coffee shops provide, what menu items they serve, and how they serve it. You'll also want to devise a plan to beat the local coffee shop competition.

You will want to analyze the competition before you choose a location and while you are open.

Consider asking yourself:

Where will your coffee shop fit within the marketplace?
How will your competitive advantage stack up against the competition?
Can you compete on your product quality or service?
How can I adapt to better compete and drive sales up?

Good coffee shop management includes making decisions that improve your competitive advantage and increase sales and customer retention.

Know Your Local Laws, Regulations, Zoning Permits

Before you open your coffee shop, you will need various licenses and permits from multiple departments to operate legally. Different elements will determine the permits and licenses you need to open your coffee shop. These include your business concept, location, menu, and power needs.

The city and county you are in will provide the framework for your coffee shop operations. Getting in touch with them early and determining their specific regulations is essential.

Taxes, employment regulations, health and building codes, and other coffee shop requirements can all be impacted by where you decide to set up your coffee shop.

Permits and Licenses Often Required:

Health Department Permit
Buildings Department Approval
Fire Department Occupancy
Fire Department Fire Suppression Units
State Business License
City Business License
LLC or Business Structure Certificate
Liquor License (If applicable)
Food Handler's Permit
Reseller's Permit

For a more in-depth look at the coffee shop licenses needed for your coffee shop, read our post, Permits and Licenses You Need to Open a Coffee Shop.

Coffee Shop Design & Layout

Your priority may be to create a welcoming environment for your customers to sit and enjoy your coffee and menu items. Your coffee shop design and layout will impact your customer's mood, energy, and overall experience. However, it also affects your efficiency, workflow, and safety.

Your coffee shop design and layout are intertwined with your central concept's goal: defining your customers' experience.

Design your layout to maximize comfort, ease of sitting, and efficient workflow. Every location and every space is different, so prioritize safety, understand the regulations, and fulfill your permit requirements.

Hire Amazing Baristas

Your baristas will be the face of your coffee business, so the hiring process is essential.

Use the process to weed out poor candidates or those without the skills you seek.

A barista training program for your new hires (and established baristas) is essential. Barista training allows your staff to be their best, improve their skills, and deliver a consistently good cup of coffee. Training also improves morale, reduces turnover, and creates a healthier work environment.

Hire your coffee shop staff for:

Reliability
Honesty
Having People Skills

You can always train and educate your staff on how to serve coffee, implement quality control mechanisms, and serve your menu items with care. However, you can't train for good attitudes, honesty, or reliability, and therefore, your hiring decisions are critical to your ultimate coffee shop success.

Promote Your Coffee Shop Like Crazy

Promoting your coffee shop and building greater awareness of your new coffee business is critical to getting off to a great start.

Consider having a marketing and coffee shop promotion plan that starts with your coffee shop's grand opening. A grand opening aims to create excitement and a social buzz about your new coffee shop and provides you with the opportunity to meet your future customers.

Ultimately, coffee shops are about community. Having a grand opening and developing a marketing and promotional strategy that builds trust, improves your brand, and generates sales will be paramount.

You may want to develop connections with local school businesses and promote your coffee shop with local blogs, newspapers, social media, and your website.

Other Essential Steps to Starting a Coffee Shop

We've laid out some essential first steps in starting a coffee shop, but there are additional things you'll want to consider. Below is a brief list of items to think about:

Design and Layout Planning:

A detailed design and layout plan is often strongly recommended before purchasing coffee equipment or finalizing your location and signing your coffee shop property lease. This should consider customer flow, seating arrangements, the location of the equipment for efficiency, and the overall aesthetic appeal of the space.

Technology and POS System Selection:

In today’s digital age, selecting the right technology and Point of Sale (POS) system can greatly enhance the efficiency of your operations and the customer experience. This includes systems for managing inventory, sales tracking, customer loyalty programs, and even online orders if you plan to offer them.

Sustainability Practices:

Opening and operating a sustainable coffee shop doesn't just help the environment but it may also help your bottom line. As consumers become more environmentally conscious, incorporating sustainability practices into your business model can serve as a competitive advantage. This can include sourcing ethically produced coffee, offering discounts for customers who bring their own cups, using biodegradable packaging, and implementing waste reduction strategies.

Menu Development and Testing:

While you've mentioned developing your menu, it’s also important to conduct testing. This could involve hosting tasting events for feedback or having soft openings with limited menus to refine your offerings based on real customer preferences.

Marketing and Promotion Strategies:

Beyond the initial promotion of your coffee shop, developing ongoing marketing strategies is crucial for sustained success. This includes leveraging social media, email marketing, participating in community events, and possibly creating a blog or vlog to share stories about your coffee shop, highlight employees, or discuss the origins of your coffee.

Operational Workflows and Employee Training:

Detailed planning on operational workflows, including opening and closing procedures, cleaning, restocking, and emergency handling, can ensure smooth daily operations. Additionally, investing in comprehensive training for your staff not only in making coffee but also in customer service, upselling techniques, and handling difficult situations can significantly enhance the quality of service.

Financial Management and Growth Planning:

After the launch, keeping a close eye on the financial health of your business is critical. This includes regular reviews of your profit margins, cost control measures, and revenue growth strategies. Planning for future growth, whether through new menu items, additional locations, or expanded services, should also be continuous.

Open a Business Bank Account Early

Combining your business funds with your personal money isn't a good idea. Commingling money is frowned upon by the IRS.

Make your life easier at the beginning of your coffee shop planning by establishing your business bank account early.

Separating your business money from your money has its advantages. Come tax time, this will help ease the accounting headaches.

Before opening your bank account, you must establish your business structure and obtain an EIN, which you may have to apply separately at the time of your business formation.

Setup Your Coffee Business Website

It's been said that if your business doesn't exist online, it doesn't exist. Sometimes, this is true for coffee shops.

At the very least, your coffee shop website will be advantageous for affirming your coffee brand and sharing your story with your customers.

For more information about having your coffee shop website, read How to Setup Your Coffee Shop Website.

Create a Timeline To Open Your Coffee Shop

Develop a timeline for starting your coffee shop development. A timeline will help propel you to create your coffee business more effectively and efficiently.

We recommend setting an end goal (or date) and working backward.

Create a realistic time frame with periodic benchmarks. Balance your timeline by placing a little pressure on yourself, but not so much that you get overwhelmed and paralyzed.

Start small, but start.

Get Insurance For Your Coffee Shop

Every coffee shop needs insurance. You want to protect your coffee shop business and your employees. This means having general liability and workers' comp insurance, among others.

Determine what coffee shop insurance you'll need and get it immediately. You will likely need worker's compensation insurance in every state. This will satisfy your state's requirements and protect you and your business assets from a potential accident.

Avoiding accidents will be important through hiring competent people, training, and developing best practices, but “accidents do happen,” so insurance is a must-have.

Ask an insurance agent in your city to help you determine what suits you and your café (for general liability insurance), and check with your state's Worker's Comp agency.

Always Strive for Excellence

As you open a coffee shop, continuously look for ways to improve. Always strive for excellence, whether by providing a higher level of service, improved coffee, menu items, service, or ambiance.

Listen to your customers and employees and be willing to adapt to fit your customers' needs. By prioritizing excellence, refining your competitive advantage, and always looking for ways to be responsive, you'll position your coffee shop for lasting success and profitability.

Steps to Open a Coffee Shop

Frequently Asked Questions:

How much does a coffee shop cost?

A coffee shop's cost depends on your business concept, menu, and location.

For example, a drive-thru coffee stand might cost less than a full coffee bar. A bakery & café may cost much more than a small mobile coffee business.

Critical factors like your geographic location, real estate market, labor cost, etc., significantly affect your coffee shop business's cost.

Traditional Coffee Shop Business Startup Costs

Small coffee shop with seating: $40,000 to $200,000
Large coffee shop with seating: $75,000 to $350,000
Franchise coffee shop: $100,00 to $350,000
Café & Bakery: $120,000 to $350,000
Coffee Shop Bookstore: $80,000 to $250,00

We discuss coffee shop startup costs in greater detail:

What are the requirements to start a coffee shop?

Each city and agency will have business regulations and steps you'll need to follow and take, including the appropriate licenses and permits you need to obtain before opening.

A list of local agencies may include your health department, buildings department, licensing department, and fire department. Your requirements will be based on the type of coffee shop business you'll have, your menu, and other essential factors.

Despite the differences between states, counties, and cities, there are often standard requirements to start a coffee shop from one jurisdiction to the next. We've covered this important topic in our post, Requirements to Start a Coffee Shop.

How much money can I make by opening a coffee shop?

How long your coffee shop turns a profit depends on several important factors, including your total coffee shop startup costs, your operational costs, and your total revenue.

Determining how much money your coffee shop will make is essential to your business planning and should be estimated early.

Your menu, anticipated pricing, sales volume, and costs impact how much revenue your coffee shop will make. Creating strategies to improve your coffee shop profits is an ongoing challenge for coffee shop owners.

For a more in-depth post, please read How Much Do Coffee Shop Owners Make?

Should Invest in a Coffee Shop Franchise?

One way to open a coffee shop is by becoming part of a franchise. This business model is standard for many industries, including restaurants and coffee shops. If starting your independent coffee shop may be too difficult to muster, but you still want to own your own business, then a coffee shop may be one option.

A coffee shop franchise with a well-established brand, proven menu, and operational guidance – may be appealing. Like others, a franchise can have its pros and cons. Determining whether a specific coffee shop franchise will work for you will require research, careful budgeting, and planning.

Should I buy an existing coffee shop?

Buying an existing coffee business is another way to start a coffee shop.

Buying an existing coffee business offers advantages and disadvantages, like opting into a franchise or starting a new coffee shop from scratch. Which option you choose always depends on your current situation, access to funds, timing, and management abilities.

Buying an existing coffee shop can be one of the fastest ways to enter the retail coffee scene and start making money. But you inherit the potential for pitfalls, such as lackluster sales, debt, past tax obligations, and poor branding and goodwill within a community.

Indeed, starting any business from the ground up takes much work, time, and money. Finding a suitable location, negotiating a lease, spending thousands on a build-out, and going through the permitting process can be a big hassle.

Yet, even the most promising coffee shops may be riddled with baggage (financial obligations, legal matters, and a poor reputation). Buying an existing business may also cost more as business owners want to maximize their profit and cash out.

Depending on the coffee shop, buying an existing coffee business might be a good deal. However, it's essential to consider all the pros and cons and decide based on what works best for you.
