hey everyone!, rather new to the community here, and i'm lovin' it! (where have i heard that slogan before?) when i started my coffee biz 8.5 years ago, i was hoping to sell coffee and only coffee related drinks from my mobile unit. didn't happen. kind of found out that not every passer-by is in love with coffee. can you even begin to imagine such a poor soul?! so, tea sprang up, smoothies surfaced, i slipped someone a coke or pepsi here and there, and i'm even admitting i slushed ice and shaved ice to offer those sugery must-haves during the meltdowns of july and august. so, my curious question is: approximately what percentage of your shop's sales are derived from coffee and coffee related drinks, and what products account for the rest of your sales? do you offer smoothies, do you sell sodas, teas, slushies, icees, snow cones, shakes, etc., etc? personally, i'd only offer coffee and only coffee related drinks if i could make a decent living from it. sadly, demand and economics dictate my menu to extend beyond the coffee bean. how about you and your shop? would love to hear your stories, offerings, and experiences!
thanks!,
sage/the coffee hound
