    This explains why ALL the coffee spots in my city of 600K keep closing down! Not one of them can stay open, then another one takes over, on and on and on. I never understood what was going on.

    all too many cafes hire a couple of sour humans. Each new person who comes in and encounters a toxic barista will vote with their feet and that is for sure but nearly impossible to tabulate. Hire people with conventional good manners. they can bring an edge,that's fine but the business is not about them.

    I work on a target of <5% rent when assessing new venue opportunities. 10% maybe used to be workable, and might still be in busy pubs with a high bev to food ratio, but for a full service cafe and restaurant you’ll struggle to make profits at 10% rent. This is due to the very high wages costs and ‘other’ expenses. I’m convinced the main driver of businesses failing is they start the business without calculating the rent % - there are many businesses listed for sale with huge rents and they often can’t find a buyer.

Not realising that they need to make min $33,000 in gross revenue each week before they even have a chance of making a reasonable profit. The reality is that Cafes need prime real estate to work, but can't afford to pay prime real estate rents...

    Are these amount figures for the Australian economy? Because I can't imagine anything in America costing this little. The rent alone would probably be at least 100k per month in any desirable location. There's a reason coffee costs $8 these days.

    In summary, Be consistent e.g. opening times, staffing levels Good coffee Good food Good service Good atmosphere Offer discount during quiet times Shorten menu e.g. remove unprofitable items We are thinking of removing salads, chips and rice from most dishes and offering them as sides. This should reduce food waste but also make the menu look less expensive at a glance.
