Small coffee shop owners, I need your help!
I am in desperate need for some help from people who own small coffee shops or know the operations of owning a coffee shop. I am currently a business management student and I am writing a full business plan on opening a coffee shop. I really need help with the financial aspect of it because I have no idea what start up costs usually are. This paper is incredibly important to me and is a huge factor in my grade and if anyone has a little time to help me out it would be greatly appreciated!

Check out this book:
Start & Run a Coffee Bar
http://www.amazon.com/Start-Run-Coffee-Bar/dp/1551807718/ref=sr_1_1...
It offers both a list of associated start up costs, monthly expenses and a five year profit and loss statement.
I'm sure there are lots of other interesting things in there.

I bought this book and found it somewhat helpful, but at the same time a little outdated. It is great from a business plan perspective, though less helpful when it comes to actually owning and running a modern "3rd Wave" coffee shop. But as a starting point for figuring out startup costs, it is pretty good. Keep in mind, the most important thing related to startup costs will be location and local government requirements. I.E how many floor sinks you need, indirect vs. direct, flow restrictors, etc. If you are in CA or MA for example, you can go ahead and add 20%.

Hi Erin Lockwood,
I had some sample coffee business plans in my hardware. It is quite messy and takes time to find it for you.

Just be sure that your virus protection software is current.
