Running a coffee business shouldn't mean figuring out everything alone

Cafe STARters gives coffee operators in their first two years access to the administrative support, business infrastructure, reports, checklists, expert sessions that most can't afford to build on their own


Sound Familiar?
  • You spent money on equipment before you knew the specifications of what was actually necessary.

  • You're great at coffee. Reading a profit & loss statement is a different skill nobody taught you.

  • One person quit and your whole operation wobbled for two weeks.

  • You're using five different apps and none of them talk to each other.

  • You don't know if you're pricing your menu to break even or to actually profit.

  • You're doing all of this by yourself with no one who actually understands to ask.

How It Works

  1. Fill in a short weekly form. Five minutes on your phone. Share your main challenges; revenue, costs, what broke this week? Specific to your business, not generic information.

  2. Get a report back within 2 business days. A margin report, compliance checklist, pricing sheet, inventory guide, whichever outputs match what you need. Yours, not anyone else's.

  3. Bring your questions to a PM session. Monthly sessions with a certified project manager; the kind of resource most operators can't afford independently. Group and small-group formats depending on your tier.
