Café Course

You have probably been considering this big business decision for some time. Perhaps enjoying a great cup of coffee and a delicious salad in a café and dreaming you would like to do something similar, or even better.

You have also imagined how your café will look, the house specialities and the crowd it will attract. The potential seems limitless. You may very well be thinking in terms of chains or why not franchises or go international?

On the surface owning and managing a café would appear to be the dream business deal. Sociable, enjoyable and good fun too, opening a café should be a sound and fulfilling business investment.

But in reality it’s a potential minefield out there. Just look at all the countless shuttered up and closed down premises on the high street where big dreams met hard business reality. There are, as in any successful craft, many hidden rules, guidelines and potential profit pitfalls which instinct, personality and a great ability to cook or cater won’t cover.

We know because we have experienced many of them.

We decided to create this 'how to start a cafe course' as, after 15 years of running our own three successful cafes, we have accrued many years of useful and practical information that would be of real benefit to anyone who was planning to open a cafe or start a coffee shop.

Our aim is to impart every bit of essential information that someone could use to open and run a successful cafe. In the space of just one day we go through the whole process step by step explaining every aspect of how to open and run a café that makes profit and, equally important, allows you a life.

Wherever we can we include the real figures for what things are going to cost you. No more costly and unnecessary investments.

Being owner operators we are uniquely qualified to answer all the questions you would love to ask a busy cafe. "How many coffees do you sell in a day?" "How much profit will I make?" We will happily answer all your questions no matter how personal. By the end of the course you will have:

• gained total clarity of what needs to be done and when
• a full understanding of what all your legal obligations are
• clear ideas of where you can save money and what things cost
• discovered the scams and cons people may try on you
• you will have the benefit of picking our brains on all aspects of running a café
• learned the insider know-how on how to reach your business potential
• reached the level of business confidence others take years to achieve

Because we hold our cafe course on site you benefit from a unique behind the scenes look at a fully operational and busy café. You will finish the course with a practical pack containing yours and our notes with essential lists of good suppliers; trade shows, agents and useful websites and addresses that you can refer to throughout the process of finding and buying your cafe.

Once the cafe course is completed we are available to answer any questions or offer any advice at any time as you move through the process of opening a cafe.

We guarantee you will leave confident in the knowledge that you have all the information to hand that you will need to open and run a highly successful cafe.

If you are considering opening a cafe make this your first invaluable investment for guaranteed results and ensured success.
