Help! goals and objectives of a coffee shop ? -

Im doing a business plan for my class and need some suggestions on some goals nd objectives and how to put it all together in one paragraph. Here is my companies description Late Night Latte is an after hour��s coffee shop located on 1400 Central Avenue and Sycamore Street, a few blocks from the University of New Mexico. Hours of operation will be from 8 AM to 2 AM Monday through Saturday. On Sunday, the Coffee Shop will be open from 10 AM to 12 AM. The basic purpose of Late Night Latte is to attract people who are between the ages of 17 to 30 years, mostly students from the University of New Mexico and anyone who is a coffee lover. Also the cafe will give individuals the opportunity to hang out and enjoy a diverse selection of delicious lattes

Coffee is the second most traded commodity in the world, with oil being the first. Part of its success is due to the extremely high profit margin involved in the finished product. Your coffee shop should have this in mind, and strive to have a very low food cost versus selling price. A goal of around 12% is reasonable. So, if you sold a latte for $5, the cost of the coffee beans, syrup, milk, whipped cream, cup, lid, etc. should be at or below 60 cents--a very attainable figure.Based on your target audience (young adults) and your location (college town), it will be very important to your customers that your business is an ethically run, environmentally conscious enterprise. Getting your coffee beans through the Fair Trade co-op should be a bottom-line goal. Even better would be to purchase your coffee directly from one or more estates, at prices above what Fair Trade pays for similar coffee. This will have as much impact as buying exotic, expensive coffees (Kona, Blue Mountain, etc.) would, with a much lower cost to you and a much bigger benefit to the global coffee community. Also be sure to use post-consumer recycled paper products where practicable.Being an ethical business will not on its own be enough to attract customers away from chains such as Starbucks. Although large coffee chains are viewed with more criticism and disdain than locally-owned small businesses, the brand name and multiple locations offer them a considerable advantage. You will need to have a plan to differentiate your products to give customers extra incentive to seek your business out specifically. My recommendation: roast your beans in-store daily. No major coffee chain does this, and it produces dramatically better coffee! 75% of coffee s aromatic and flavor oils break down within the first week after it is roasted, so your coffee will be head and shoulders above your competitors. Plus, green (unroasted) coffee beans are considerably cheaper and store for much longer--saving you on costs and also allowing you to buy in larger quantities, reducing costs even further. As an added benefit, that freshly-roasted coffee smell can sometimes be smelled from blocks away, pulling in customers that didn t even know you were there!Not to go on too much about in-store roasting, but this also opens up another business opportunity for you--freshly roasted bulk coffee beans. People can enjoy better coffee at home, businesses can work with you to create their own unique signature blends, and your customers can specify which blends they want and have them roasted for whatever applications they desire: Espresso, French press, electric drip, etc.Done properly, a coffee shop is as close to a fail-proof business as you can get. I would advise against complicating the menu too much, however. Coffee sells itself and doesn t cost much if it needs to be thrown out. Once your coffee shop starts trying to be a restaurant, things become much more complicated and much less profitable. Some pastries and baked items are your safest bet to garner add-on sales from your customers.

How does selling for Avon work? -

Can someone just break it down for me? Do I have to pay something to start? Do I get free products? What happens if I can t sell anything? Would I have to pay for it?

Hi Athena,I have been with Avon almost 2 years now and i could answer all of your questions. Yes you do have to pay something when you sign up and just to let you know that you can now sign yourself up online if your interested I could also send you that information. You don t get free products but reps get to pay lower prices for the new products before they are even available to the customers. If for some reason you don t have any orders that s quite ok, even if you place an order for a .69 cent lip balm that will keep your account open. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

It costs $10 to start with Avon. They change promos every 2 weeks. You do have to buy supplies and brochures. They have a tiered commission program depending on what you sell. I researched Avon, Pampered Chef, and Tupperware and I ended up choosing Tupperware.

What licences/permits/registrations do i need to start a home based business, importing and selling apparel? -

Doing so as a sole trader under my own name.I plan on selling apparel only start with, on ebay etc. Then moving on to different products in areas.So im hoping this will be fairly simple to set up, as i already have the capital i need.I plan on getting an ABN (Australian Business Number) though im unsure on what licences/permits/registrations i am in need of getting before i do so, as i hear the penalties for not obtaining such licences can be quite severe.Any help would be of Great help to me, as i am quite new to this.Thanks!

For anything concerning imports/ exports and duties on the items, go to the source. Contact the Customs Service and ask for information.The business permits is probably handled by the State Government. Most likely the Treasury or the tax collectors (Inland Revenue?).My advice would be to see a professional in the legal field. Explain what you want to do and ask them to process the apporpriate paperwork. You might want to ask this question on the Australia Answers instead of the U.S. Answers section.

How can I seek recourse when a contractor refuses to pay what was agreed upon (I am a sub contractor)? -

If there s a contract signed, get what you can from him now, THEN sue him for the difference as breach of contract . You ll have a much harder time proving a breach if there is no signed contract.EDIT: Rip is correct, a mechanic s lien is another avenue to explore in legal options. http://www.cslb.ca.gov/consumers/legalis��Check your state s contractor s board for how to file one.

I am not sure about what state or where you are located but one thing is to file a lien on the property owner for the work you completed. This will put you in line for payment or the owner may be forced to pay you off for your work. But it all depends on what your laws state. You will need to keep copies of your proof of work completed. Hope this helps a little. Good luck

Depends on the contract and why he isn t paying. You should have an attorney review your contracts before signing them and consult an attorney on this issue. If you can t afford an attorney and are in US I may be able to help. Just email me.

No frill , zero balance, salary account is most suitable for salaried.

your monthly income figure has nothing to do with account opening process in any bank. you will have to fill up the account opening form. it is available free of cost in all branches of that bank. along with the filled up form, you have to submit your photos, address proof and the money (for account opening). it is very simple process.
