About this course

This course teaches the daily numbers and routines that decide whether a cafe survives its first three years. You will cost a 16 ounce latte to the cent, build a schedule that holds labor under 35 percent of sales, run a wholesale roaster negotiation, and design a loyalty program that lifts visit frequency. Every lesson uses real benchmark numbers, named tools like Toast, Square, and 7shifts, and worked examples you can copy into your own shop the same day.
