Hi, I'm approximately 20 years old, with not much in terms of money to my name. I'm looking forward to opening up my own shop, eventually. (I'm a barista working for a local shop, at the moment), and I'm trying to approximate the initial costs (minus labor and rent). Some questions I have are.
What is the minimum quality and cost of a espresso machine being used for commercial purposes. (I don't need a 50k machine to start out with)
Where are some good coffee suppliers (good coffee, fresh, etc), and what kind of prices would I be looking at.
Syrup suppliers, ghiradelli,etc, and the expenses inquired on those.
Fridges, bake displays, etc.
Also, do chalk walls sounds like a good idea (just wondering)
There's probably other things im forgetting, but these are at the forefront of my mind.
I was thinking of Athen's Ohio, (close to school), but I have other places in consideration.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
-Phil
