Coffee Shops
One margin standard across every shop
Specialty coffee groups and single shops where milk, bean yield, food attachment and peak-hour labour decide whether the morning pays for the afternoon.
How this format makes money
The levers that decide the margin
Drink yield and milk/bean cost
Recipe cards and yield standards on every drink, tracked per shop. Milk and bean costs left unmeasured are where coffee margin quietly disappears.
Food attachment
The food that carries the margin, sold with a consistent barista prompt. Attachment rate is the lever that turns a queue into profit.
Par levels from real sales data
Bakery and prep pars rebuilt from hourly sales, so waste falls and every new shop opens against a standard instead of an improvisation.
Who this is for
Specialty coffee groups from one shop to fifteen, running five different mornings and needing one scorecard, one standard and one margin.
