Thank you for your feedback and honesty. I am 27 years old and just opened my own coffee shop based in South Africa, nothing could prepare me for the amount of hours and personal sacrifice it would take. Getting feedback that's real is encouraging and helps me to realise I am on the right path, this is not a business that offers instantaneous success and that's okay. Perseverance seems to be the biggest challenge, but it is imperative. This insight has helped me to shift my perspective.
As the owner, I need to know how the business runs and keep a close eye on the business, before hiring a manager. Even then I would have a team meeting at least once a week to see if the others have any problems, meeting the requirements of their position and looking for input on how the business can grow. Have a visual chart of the goals of the week/ month and year.
Great series of videos, happy i stumbled into this channel! It would be great to see more in depth content, especially about what systems you found to work best across your years working in the industry. Either longer videos or possibly a website / blog, or even a paid course, i'd be more than happy to buy it. Hope to see more soon, best of luck!
For us, the plan from the start was to consider selling once we got to halfway through the lease period. When the time came, given the numbers were good, we decided to take that option for family reasons.

Great videos! Would you also share how and in what areas we should train the team? 😊
What would you recommend looking for in a location?
What do you think it’s those basics?
May I be curious why did you sell your business?
