    you should talk to Matt Milletto the guy who started the site. They have amazing tools and materials in order to help your business. Its all you ever wanted to know about running a successful coffee bar complete with training materials the whole 9. I wish I met them earlier in my career as they have provided me with a tremendous amount of support materials and programs which are going to hugely benefit my clients (people like you). Cheers from Canada.

    Bali would suit, pop down for a visit sometime. We can sure do with some skilled barista over this way, and the sand on Kuta Beach is white and warm all year around
