Midwest Barista School > JP's Coffee & Espresso Bar > As a coffeehouse owner do you find yourself saying, “I wish I had a busy store?” Are you in the planning stage for your coffeehouse and need someone with experience to help? Unfortunately, many coffeehouse owners or future owners don’t have the knowledge and experience to take advantage of what has become a national craving. The growth in U.S. coffee industry sales has gone from 4 billion in 1998, to 7 billion in 2003*, and is expected to continue to over 10 billion in 2008. This translates into opportunity for those in the coffee industry. Your local coffeehouse can be part of that. If you are already in business and aren’t satisfied with your current level of sales it doesn’t have to stay that way. Bringing in someone with experience can help you see what is holding you back from a busy and profitable store. If you are in the planning stages and want to avoid the mistakes, pitfalls, and inefficiencies that could cost you customers and sales, you can. We have discovered the keys to a successful and profitable store: and we practice what we preach every day. Our methods and systems are not rocket science or some mysterious secret, but rather sound business principles applied to daily operations. They are the tried and true methods of great quality products, incredible customer service, an inviting atmosphere and a clean store. It may take a little extra work and some time, but with the right tools, a positive attitude and persistence you can succeed! There are many coffeehouses that run an OK operation. And then there are those that have a great operation. What makes one so much more successful than the other? Ask yourself the following questions: Would you like your store to be so busy that it has all the customers it can handle? Would you like to learn how to get your customers to do your advertising for you? Would you like to work on your business and not in your business? Would you like to increase what your business can pay you, while you work less? We have the tools to help you plan, improve and operate your coffeehouse. The products and services we provide are exactly what we use at our own store. They have worked for us and we believe they can be a tremendous value to you. Contact us and see if we can help you!   *SOURCE: January 2004 U.S. Coffee Report, Mintel International Group
