The Coffee Shop Startup Workbook

The working checklist from concept to opening day. Eight gated sections: the concept test most shops skip, the real startup budget sheet with a six-month reserve line, a location scorecard you fill out at 7:30 a.m. with a clicker, an equipment list in buying order, menu math, staffing, an opening-week runbook, and the three numbers to track for the first 90 days.

• Printable PDF workbook with fill-in tables and gate questions
• Written by working baristas, priced like a coffee date, worth a consultant hour
• Pairs with our free guides: coffee shop owner earnings, franchise costs, and POS comparisons on the blog

If the workbook stops you from signing one bad lease, it has paid for itself a thousand times.
