Hey Taylor thanks for being such a blessing! This is sooo helpful and I am so appreciative of this. If you could ball park the amount I need for the upstart investment with all of the equipment included what would your estimate be? Thanks! Just trying to see if I have enough and how much I would need to take out a loan for.... thanks so much for your transparency and willingness to help!
Thanks for the video! I’m curious if your espresso machine was directly plumbed or did you go for ones you could just fill? Did you sell other stuff like Kerch or just strictly coffee drinks?
Hey Taylor, another great video. I was just curious what it was that you didn’t love about the business which resulted in your decision to stop? Was it one thing or an amalgamation of things and would you mind sharing what those things were? Thank you
I didn't like the lack of flexibility. most events are weekends and I wanted to have the flexibility to hangout with my family when they were off work, I didnt feel like I got to see people that were important in my life, Also it was just such a longwinded dream by the time I got it up and running my passion just wasnt the same anymore. Anyway, fast forward I now do house flipping with my husband and its way more a fit for us -- its different every time and its super flexible with our schedule, and also more profitable. The coffee industry is amazing though I dont stray people away from it, just not a fit for me anymore at that point in life.
If you’re running an a POS system like Square on an iPad, you can actually get a celular data plan. I’m not sure how she did it, but that’s one way you could.
RENT RENT RENT, that's the problem with a coffee trailer...You have to find somewhere to park it and you will pay probably $100 + a day to park it in a car park somewhere if your lucky... So you have to sell $100+ of coffee first each day before you even start to make a profit.
I didn’t have to pay rent for my spot! It’s possible to find a business who won’t charge you, the value you bring their customers by being outside is valuable to them.
How would you run the shift during the day? Like what was your routine (cold brew, opening, closing, etc.)?

Anyone know how difficult it is to find a spot to park a coffee trailer? & Is it expensive to pay for a spot?

Yes it was plumbed, same with pitcher rinser, and hot water tower!

I know you have been out of the business, but what was the profits. Was it worth it?
Just curious as to how you got internet in there for the POS to work ?

I use my phone as a hot spot to connect my iPad POS.
