Espresso! Starting And Running Your Own Coffee Business

I liked everything about the book. The book was well written and full of factual information.

I agree with most of the other reviewers. If I were opening a coffee cart or kiosk I'd find this book educational. As it is, it lacks details but does give good basic information. You can start here but "Become a coffee house owner" is far more detailed, with business plans, budgets, specific list of items needed (down to the grease trap), contacts, employees, probably health requirements etc. I did gain some knowledge from this book, but it won't be a point of referral in the future.

I found this book to be a little vague. There are lots of forms at the back of the book which I found to be helpful

looks good.

A great book for basic understanding of what it takes to start and run a successful coffee business.

My husband and I are business people but have never opened a coffee shop....the book was great!

thanks

Let's imagine you are thinking about buying that espresso stand down beside the street corner near your home. "Hmmm....wonder if that is a goldmine waiting to be mined?"If so, this book is an adequate first step in your research. It touches a wide range of topics with a scientific, by-the-numbers approach. Therein lies the fault.You see, entrepreneurship is not a science. It is an art. So, too, is service and great coffee!By all means, buy of read ESPRESSO! STARTING & RUNNING YOUR OWN SPECIALTY COFFEE BUSINESS first. The ESPRESSO BARTENDERS GUIDE TO ESPRESSO BARTENDING has to be the next book on your journey to making a living brewing great coffee.Before you buy that espresso stand, though, get hold of RETAIL MANAGEMENT by Ron Hasty and learn why the location of that stand may, or may not, be in a good location for your target market!

Does exactly what it should when it should.
