Cafe Success Article 1 – Your Why and Benchmark

YOUR BUSINESS SURVIVAL GUIDE

Review, reinvent and prepare to relaunch your business with the help of Café Success Hub's 10-point plan, supported by Boughton's Coffee House

We’ve enlisted the help of Andrew and Claire Bowen from the Café Success Hub to help you come up with a simple step-by-step plan to ensure that when you are fully open for business again you are refreshed and reinvigorated, tuning up your systems with the best possible survival plan.

Here are the first two three-minute tutorials covering 'Your Why' and 'Benchmark'.

Step 1 – YOUR WHY

Reflect on your WHY… why you got into this business in the first place, what you enjoy about running your coffee business

Step 2 – BENCHMARK

Look at your past performance. Get out your old P&Ls and print off your current trading records. What is your break even figure?

THERE'S MORE TO COME…

Look out for the next instalment where Andrew and Claire will be tackling two more topics: 'Your Menu' to help you put together a tasty menu with healthy margins; and 'Your People', identifying what you need to do to attract, motivate and retain the best people.
