Have you decided to open a coffee shop? We bought all the necessary equipment and hired staff. Everything seems to be ready and all that remains is to buy groceries. But wait. You don't need to buy 100 different syrups and dozens of kilos of coffee right away. You only need essential products.
Read this list before going to the store. It will make it easier for you to choose between the products you need and those that you can buy later.
- Coffee beans. Most importantly, you need to buy quality fresh coffee beans. Check that the roast date is correct. It is believed that the most aromatic grains should be roasted no later than 1 month ago. They do not deteriorate later, but the coffee becomes less rich and more empty.
- Milk. Who doesn't love cappuccino or milk? Therefore, buy more milk. Here the emphasis is not on fat content, but on the protein content in milk. It must be at least 3 g.
- Sugar. He is often forgotten and this is unfair. There will be many sweet tooths among your clients. Also, do not forget about vanilla sugar, without which Raf will not be so tasty.
- Desserts. Even if you work in the "Coffee to go" format, you should have several items on the menu for desserts or pastries.
- Cream and spices. Many customers love Raf - the creamiest and most delicate cream-based coffee drink. Others love strong coffee, but with the addition of cinnamon or cloves. Therefore, I strongly advise you to choose good cream, as organic as possible, without preservatives and flavor enhancers.
- Water. Are you professionals? And would you serve an espresso to a customer without a glass of water? And better than mineral.
- Tea. Where there is coffee, there is tea. You will be surprised, but many people will come to you not for a cup of coffee, but for a teapot of tea. So get some good loose black, green, and red teas.
- Syrups and toppings. For example, Mokka is served with chocolate syrup. And lavender Raf - with the appropriate syrup. Pay attention to the season and trends. They will tell you which syrups to buy and which ones to put aside.
This is not the whole list, but having products from it, you can already open up and give people delicious coffee. Another little tip - choose local milk and cream, which ideally have a shelf life of 5-7 days. They taste good and make your coffee even richer.
