How do you know what to do when you are just starting up a coffee shop or café?

Let’s face it, most people starting up a café don’t exactly have a ton of extra cash laying around.

This makes it hard to afford hiring mentors, coaches, experts and other things that make starting a coffee shop easier.

The reality is that most new startups figure out everything on their own or worse take advice from someone who is trying to sell them something.

 It can be really hard and even lonely when...

There is nobody cheering you on
You don't have someone experienced guiding you
Or you have nobody to call when you hit a roadblock or have a question

And that’s why so many new coffee shops or cafes only last 18 months to 3 years,  have a look around your local area, how many of these short lived cafes can you see?
You can spot them as they won't have much on display, there will be equipment that needs repairing, the owner will look stressed and dejected and there will be a constant stream of new staff.

But it doesn’t have to be like this…

Use our systems and processes in your own café or coffee shop.

Can you imagine how much faster you would be able to open and grow your coffee shop or café if you can use proven processes and systems instead of having to create them yourself?

How much time you would save?
How much trial and error you would avoid?
How much quicker could you open?
How much more confidence would you have?
How much money will you save?

Well these are some of the many benefits you get inside the Start-Up A Coffee Shop Club...

"Well I have finally completed the training, and what an eye-opener it has been ( in a good way ) - I now have to get down to the hard graft of completing all the spreadsheets and working everything out properly. Thank you so much for all the hard work you have put in to producing these videos, this will make a massive difference in the way I approach the whole thing."

Dayna Winter

brew | twenty three

"Andrew and Claire were a crucial part in my decision in opening my first site, I met them coincidentally (or by fate) about six months before I opened
brew | twenty three.
They shared their knowledge, passion and advice with me as if they were opening their own site - they both genuinely cared (and still do). They continued to go above and beyond, responded to all my questions and gave me so many points to consider that I wouldn't have thought of.
I was extremely clear on my vision of
brew | twenty three and Andrew and Claire never lost sight of that for me and adapted their processes tailored to my business.
 Andrew and Claire are two of the most genuine, caring, patient and calming people I have worked with and I would recommend them to anyone opening (or thinking of opening) their own shop, no matter their vision.
