Bean Business Basics

Every aspect of specialty coffee is covered here. Its the Murphys Law Guidebook of the industry. If you sit in a Trade Show workshop and listen to problems 10 out of 10 of them are discussed in this book. The price tag is an investment into your business, so cost should NOT be a factor is deciding to purchase this book. If you own a coffee shop and you're NOT using this book, either you're lucky...or on your way into rough waters. The best investment I could have made for my coffeehouse, its like having a private consultant on your desk.

Before you pay a consultant, or even begin to get serious about opening your business, read this book. It will save you ten times the purchase price in fees and lessons learned the hard way (i.e. mistakes). This book is extremely thorough, very detailed, and as far as I can see, leaves very little out. It will give you a good jump start on what you need to know, what you need to look for, and what to stay away from.
