@@victorrus01 Thanks. I'm now traveling the world and earning online from multiple streams incl. Coaching, RUclips, digital courses, teaching, What about yourself?
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.
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!
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 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
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.
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.
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
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 ❤
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
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
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!
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.
Congrats Joe! Your dedication to creating the perfect brewspot has paid off, and I can already smell the success in the air! Here's to countless cups of happiness and caffeinated dreams coming true!
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!
Good video - learnt alot about what to do with our cafe's simply by looking at your decor, as well as the t-shirts, as well as coffee being the most profitable thing, and I liked your '5-ish' thing - was brilliant!
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.
@@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.
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.
You're welcome, Chamara Sampath! Your appreciation means a lot to us and motivates us to continue producing content like this. Do you have a business topic you want to see next on the channel?
@@UpFlip Web development agency, Blogger or Affiliate marketer I learn a lot from your channel about the journey of successful small startups. These videos validate most of the things I have learned about entrepreneurship.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thanks for the interview. Kind suggestion for the interviewer. Don’t have a cup of coffee before your begin shooting. You’re fidgety and jittery. And let your subject command the convo. Ask your questions and chill. You have a good thing, and the shots are solid, although cut too many times. Hope this is helpful. ✌️
