A Coffee Shop Ratio that Boosts Profits by 50%
March 19, 2023 (Published: May 17, 2013)Crimson Cup Founder and President Greg Ubert is writing a series of columns about running a coffee shop for Coffee Talk magazine.
The series continues in May with, “A COFFEE SHOP RATIO THAT BOOSTS PROFITS BY 50%.”
“Many coffee shop owners go into the business based on their passion for coffee. They often believe the key to their success is bringing the finest coffee available to their community,” Greg writes. “That’s a big part of the equation, and you can’t succeed without great coffee. But you also need to attend to the business side of running a coffee shop.
“When you get down to basics, selling coffee is a numbers game,” the article continues. “If you play the game correctly, you win. If you try to cut corners or stray from your focus, you will lose.”
