Before Opening Your Own Coffee Shop
If you’re in the process of opening your own coffee shop, we know that it can feel overwhelming. Below are some elements that we suggest you consider before opening your doors.
Find a Wholesale Supplier
If you’re just starting your coffee business, have you thought about where all your wholesale coffee beans will come from? You want to find a wholesale supplier that’s reliable while also offering a wide selection of fresh coffee beans, including Fair Trade Certified, USDA Organic Certified, Rainforest Alliance Certified, and more.
At Kaldi, not only do we offer coffee beans that are freshly roasted per order, but we have also worked hard to create a vast selection of coffee beans that are certified and offer unique flavor combinations for your customers.
Offer High-Quality Products
All coffee beans are not created equal. While you might find a supplier who offers wholesale coffee beans, you also want to ensure that you’re getting high-quality beans. When are they roasted? Where are they grown? Are they Arabica or Robusta?
For more information about ensuring the bean quality, read through our Guide to Evaluating Green (Raw) Coffee Beans and take a look at the other certified coffee beans we offer.
Define Your Target Market and Brand
Who do you want buying your coffee? What is your target demographic? Before you create your menu or design out your space, make sure you have an idea of what you want your brand to be and your target market. This will help you determine what types of coffee drinks (and non-coffee drinks) you want to offer.
Find New Ways to Grow Your Business
Any business owners know that, once you’ve opened your business, the work is just beginning. Once you’ve configured your day-to-day operations, find new coffee drinks or coffee flavors to offer your customers.
