There's a lot of cuts. That's kind of rough to watch. Is there a reason there are so many cuts in your intro? Also the camera work is a bit distracting.
I had one in Cape Town from 2010 for 3 years. Try to reduce cost by spending less on fitout, budget working capital for at least 2 years and don’t forget your USP. I’m developing a course on how to open a coffee shop. Don’t forget location
This might sound weird but I'd be interested to see what the bathroom looks like especially if your downing coffee. A very underrated aspect of a business man.
Thanks for the content! This is inspirational as a person who loves coffee, wants to learn more and especially planning to start a business in Seattle. This is what I'm looking for. Thanks for the upload! And call out to Joe's Fine Coffee, love the vibe!
To everyone thinking about opening a coffee shop here is a little fun fact for you. 50% go broke in the first 2 years. If you are really good at what you do and have great staff in a good area, with cheap rent you can make a decent wage. Staff is a headache and you will have to do 60 hour weeks. If you love it than it won’t be so bad. Very few people make great money in a coffee shop.
Great video! Nice people, doing good stuff. I would suggest you kill the AutoFocus on your cameras as it keeps adjusting and losing focus and is very distracting for some of us viewers. Keep up the great work!
there are a lot of coffee origins,try them ...And you can brew your coffee in more than 10 different brew methods...And a lot of different roast profiles...Just do it!
Are you not using your lapel microphone(s)? The audio needs improvement in this video. It would make a big difference in your overall production value if you could improve this.The part with the owner sounded ok it's the employees interview that sounded like there was no lapel. Also you might look into normalizing the audio across the video so it's all about the same volume. It was an interesting video, I look forward to seeing more.
I'm a 16 years old student and I've been dreaming to open up my own cafe in the future, but I'm so scared that I can't make it bc im afraid that i can't afford anything to make it happen :( can someone please give me some advice on building a cafe?
You're still young, you've got a whole life ahead of you! Our advice would be to start saving and soon enough you'll have enough money for a down payment or to start your own small coffee stand.
Check to see if your state has any grants for new businesses. I am from Nebraska and was able to get a 10k micro enterprise tax credit. Go talk to your local chamber of commerce. Cities love new businesses and have resources to help!
it's nice to see the emphasis on cleanliness in a coffee shop, so many think it's cool to have these dirty people serving coffee without anyone saying something. a tid bit: hair nets or coverings would take clealiness to the next level.
I'd like to buy a van and design it to deliver coffee. I'm in a 3rd world country, so to speak. I think it would work, but I need investment. How can I do it?
I turned the sound off for the first 2 minutes and played some hip hop while you bounced around. It was hilarious. Jokes aside though, great video. Thanks
1. Make it feel like Starbucks 2. Make it cozy and comfortable 3. Know how to make coffee and desserts 4.free wifi & best crew 5. Invest money into it 6. Have insurance 7. Have different types of coffee 8. Have the equipment 9. Have some dog treats just incase 10. Breakfast
Breakfast is number 2, my coffee shop became super busy when I finally start making breakfast sandwiches from scratch on a freshly baked bread. I was whole in the wall with strong coffee and superb sandwiches and gourmet cakes on reasonable prices. Had line of people for 13 years. Unfortunately they demolish the building where my place was.
This is the first video of yours that I've seen and after 45 seconds I am VERY distracted by your hand and body movements. They're so animated, if I put you on mute, I would think you are in a rap video.
I came to the comment section 1 min and 37 seconds in to comment the same. Far too much dancing while explaining. Now that I've commented, I will see if I can tolerate the rest of the video. If I can, I will see if there's more on this channel to view.
20? I didn’t count but it’s more than that! He is also an annoying interviewer, cutting him up and dancing all the time he is talking. Just some constructive criticism
Thank you for doing this. very helpful and informative. I have two recommendations: please stop jumping around on the intro (I do appreciate the energy). and please let the interviewee speak fully and finish. Good luck!
I don't understand why the CEO would hire an operations manager that's also the store manger, maybe funding but it really should be two seperate people. And as far as "not caring about profit". You must have an unlimited money bag.
what pissed me off about coffee shops in my country is that every barista is trying to make coffee as fast as he/she can, trying to show off and look cool. i bought my own coffee machine (breville barista express ) and i can say that i make better coffee than 90 percent of the coffee shops that i used to go to.
Yea I agree. I was given a old espresso maker and I had a old Krupp grinder from the 70s..and fixed it, ,then bough a cheap better grinder that can grind even,, that works , then bought green beans and started roasting in a skillet, my coffee is way better then Starbucks I learned with the lowest equipment and spent a lot of time. It's not a big deal . Making awesome coffee
I don't understand how you could possibly get everything we see here for $100k. Building and property alone seem like they would come close to that, as well as the espresso machine costing around $15k.
Sorry but being a perfectionist (as this guy is) is not the key to being successful in business. He talks like he's somehow reinvented the coffee experience. Then we get to see the narcissists has 8 shirts he's selling and lip balm to boot. A real coffeehouse experience is more than a drive through; it lounge furniture with ample seating inside we people Stay and Spend more money! He got all caught up on his double talk and white subway tile and blew $100k to sell coffee through a window.
I used to own my own café for 7 years so I know what it's like. Great experience and hard work. No regrets. Now, I travel the world and ALWAYS find great coffee shops to work with my laptop! Thanks fellow youtube boss here.
@@victorrus01 Thanks. I'm now traveling the world and earning online from multiple streams incl. Coaching, RUclips, digital courses, teaching, What about yourself?
I wish he went more in-depth about the start up costs. How much were the coffee machines, and other equipment, like fridge and tables, how much spent on renovations, how much the electric bill is, other utilities, whats the mortgage if any etc
My wish is to open a Cafe like that and talk with clients all day long while I'm drinking a good coffee and dessert with them, these videos fill me up with the desire to keep studying to specialize on these types of business can't wait for the day to happen
I don’t drink the coffee but I love the smell of the roasting coffee beans and the making. I really want to open my own coffee shops with a chill environment.
Great story Joe. I can definitely relate how we're all way too optimistic about how much it'll take to start something, how quickly sales will build and how quickly business will sustain itself. Vlad "I have a posture of this in my room" lol!
I'm from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 I have passion baking and have passion to make special cofee ,one day I will open my own coffee shop with Ethiopian traditional way ❤
Hey guys - love these videos. IMO the only thing you're missing, if you added a little portable preamp (I use an iRig) between your mic and camera it will add a great professionality to your vids. The speaker's sound quality is a little hollow and distant at times. You could also use a portable recorder as a secondary source like a Tascam in order to have redundancy.
This guys mindset of people, process, product is a very simple and very effective way to implement and manage standards in business. This guy has a great head for delivering a high quality service!
@@UpFlip Thank you for noticing me. Currently our coffee shop is under construction and we are hoping to open by mid August this year. Our DBA is YSG Dessert Bar as we are baking desserts at the store. I hope you come and visit us in Chicago in the future. Thank you so much. By the way, we also have YT channel YSG kitcheneria. It is a baking tutorial.
@@UpFlip oh yes It has been ranked the best in the world by international group of coffee connoisseurs coffee is one of the main exports in Ethiopia it's different in it's unusual amazing flavors , history and ceremony since coffee is originated there it's essential part of Ethiopian society and culture which gathers family and friends if you plan to visit Ethiopia, which I advise you to, you should see there ceremony and taste it's amazing flavors

AWESOME questions/answers & insight! One of my favs was the comment about QUALITY.
@@ulianasokolova3033 Agreed! Joe has managed to create such an amazing business!
@@ketura_v_art Yes! Quality is the most important thing in the long run. Even if it might cost you more, it will definitely pay off in the long run!
no hate, but 03:45 post intro
There's a lot of cuts. That's kind of rough to watch. Is there a reason there are so many cuts in your intro? Also the camera work is a bit distracting.
Rain and coffee goes so well together! Makes me want to visit this coffee shop!
Agreed! Coffee is definitely a staple here in rainy Washington.
Facts!
Thanks for this.....I'm saving up to open my own coffee shop in south Africa in a years time...🇿🇦🙃
How awesome! Best of luck to you :)

Thanks for the suggestion. We're glad you enjoyed this video!
I really don't drink coffee. But it does smell good. The set up at this coffee shop looks nice. Nice video.
If you're every going to Mt.Baker make sure to stop by on your way there!

Reid, thank you for pointing that out! We have taken care of the audio issue, and its no longer the case. Just check out some of our other videos ;)
I am starting a coffee shop in Ga... have the a building and location locked up...where is the best shop to purchase equipment?
such a shame that customers are used to add flavors to anything. Support more the simplicity and the beauty of your own products.
So true! I'm guilty of it too.
Like always great useful content!
Thats our goal. Making information entertaining while inspiring entrepreneurship!

Great content, love the interview.
But why no mic on the host?

Absolutely!
hair nets sound super silly here lol
hmm, why did you not do a mic check before filming. the lady can only just be heard aswell as you , so either the mics were off or faulty
Thanks for the feedback! We hope you still enjoyed the video - thank you for watching! ☺️
@@UpFlip so did you check before filming?, and why wasnt it spotted during editing before uploading it
Yes Ethiopian ""Guji""
Very awesome
wow, say "empower" one more time and it might start meaning what you want it to mean!
Empower!
Good content... but the auto focus and audio is driving me insane!
Thanks, we're definitely working on this!
All good but the sound microphone sucks
Thanks for letting us know, we're using different mics now!
Wow! Awesome
Thanks for the support!
How did you choose this business to highlight?
Based on their story and success!
wow, very cool !
Thanks!
Folgers has entered the chat
Smart guy
Thanks for the feedback danman281. 😀Would you ever make an investment such as this?
Cool vid but camera work and constant in and out focus gave me a headache...
We're definitely working on this and our most recent videos have been much better with this! Don't hold back on checking them out :)
I'd like to buy a van and design it to deliver coffee. I'm in a 3rd world country, so to speak. I think it would work, but I need investment. How can I do it?

Step one own real estate ok I’ll be back
We'll be waiting for you to get back :)
That girl's eye contact though!
Eye contact and engaged conversation is important in business.
When he said he owns the real estate, does he mean he bought the land?
Yes, that what he meant!
Please stop "dancing" in front of the camera, that looks nervous and is unsettling for the viewer.
For sure!
Appreciate the video, but you have to stop the hand waving man, please.
Sorry but this host is kinda annoying :-). I love your channel, but sorry, he just ain't the perfect match for the role
Thanks for the feedback Milan.
In my opinion, these "UpFlip" interviews are too playful for someone looking for professional advice.
I turned the sound off for the first 2 minutes and played some hip hop while you bounced around. It was hilarious. Jokes aside though, great video. Thanks
Lol, we're glad you liked this vid :)
Too much coffee
1. Make it feel like Starbucks
2. Make it cozy and comfortable
3. Know how to make coffee and desserts
4.free wifi & best crew
5. Invest money into it
6. Have insurance
7. Have different types of coffee
8. Have the equipment
9. Have some dog treats just incase
10. Breakfast
Tip #9 is great!
Starbucks no the best idea
Breakfast is number 2, my coffee shop became super busy when I finally start making breakfast sandwiches from scratch on a freshly baked bread. I was whole in the wall with strong coffee and superb sandwiches and gourmet cakes on reasonable prices. Had line of people for 13 years. Unfortunately they demolish the building where my place was.

@@UpFlip i like ur dances and so did 1.4k ppl so dw.
@upflip on the contrary. It kept my attention. Great content! What’s his first business? Want to watch that sequel video.
0:33 why is this cut like 20 times
Yeah, it's annoying. I think the dude has problems with memorizing his lines. He should practice because that's hard to watch
😆
20? I didn’t count but it’s more than that! He is also an annoying interviewer, cutting him up and dancing all the time he is talking. Just some constructive criticism
yeah those "jump cuts" are annoying lol. bro get a prompter or make some cue cards!!
Too many cuts!!!
Thank you for doing this. very helpful and informative.
I have two recommendations: please stop jumping around on the intro (I do appreciate the energy). and please let the interviewee speak fully and finish.
Good luck!

Can you even do coffee with a breville ??? Seriously!

Now, I travel the world and ALWAYS find great coffee shops to work with my laptop!
Thanks fellow youtube boss here.
Do you still own the cafe?
Of course you quit the business
Why you quit it?
Wow that's awesome! What do you do now? If you don't mind me asking 😁

If it helps, please watch our other coffee shop video. ☺️
This interviewer must have a good lower body, he squats like a hundred times just in 2min of the video 😂
Great interview...like looking behind the scenes..interesting they use social media marketing
Thanks! In this day and age, social media marketing is a must! It's how many businesses are able to attract more customers so it is very important.
This is awesome! I loved how you explained how much demand there is for this type of business. Thanks so much!
We're glad you liked the video!
love this channel, please stop doing whatever the camera was doing. It really takes away from the video experience.

That sounds amazing! Go for it!
The intro made me want to drink Folgers. Thank you for the reminder.
Would love to stop by this coffee shop someday 😋
You really should! Make sure to come inside, it's really cozy.
I don’t drink the coffee but I love the smell of the roasting coffee beans and the making. I really want to open my own coffee shops with a chill environment.
We wish you best of luck if you wish to pursue this!
Just do it
I don't drink coffee either but this would still be a fun business.
Unfortunate this video has such low views, the production on this is amazing!
Glad you think so!
Did you have some coffee before shooting the intro videos...you seem a bit unsettled...
Just a cup or two ;)
was about to say... I was excited for the content, but my bad eyes were giving out right before we enter the coffee shop...
You bounce a lot
Attitude is everything. If someone has the right attitude, it will work out. Thanks for making this video
Thank you for recognizing Ethiopia 💚💛❤️
I am looking for a couch 🙏
Great story Joe. I can definitely relate how we're all way too optimistic about how much it'll take to start something, how quickly sales will build and how quickly business will sustain itself.
Vlad "I have a posture of this in my room" lol!

Hey guys - love these videos.
IMO the only thing you're missing, if you added a little portable preamp (I use an iRig) between your mic and camera it will add a great professionality to your vids. The speaker's sound quality is a little hollow and distant at times. You could also use a portable recorder as a secondary source like a Tascam in order to have redundancy.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the advice as well, we're always working on improving each and every one of our videos!
