Stephen Miller’s Starting & Running a Sandwich-Coffee Bar is an insider’s guide to setting up your own successful sandwich and coffee bar, providing you with all of the knowledge necessary to embark on the rewarding venture of working for yourself. Sandwiches are the fastest growing food sector, which makes good quality coffee and sandwich bars an exciting opportunity. In this book the author, a former lawyer, passes on the knowledge he has gained from his own experience after opting for a career change at age 42 and setting up his sandwich-coffee bar.
Through a writing style that is very informative and he walks you through every step of the process. He has a balanced tone that highlights both the good and the bad of running a sandwich-coffee bar and he addresses everything from finding a location, to food hygiene, to allocation of work, and fills each chapter with useful information and invaluable “tip” boxes. He poses the questions you need to ask yourself to gauge whether or not you are prepared for the change and whether or not it is appropriate for you. Questions such as: Do you like people? Are you physically fit? Are you genuinely interested in food?
Once you have evaluated yourself honestly and feel that you can genuinely “take it,” Miller helps you to formulate the business model that best suits your life and financial needs, outlining the pros and cons of the business as well as the pros and cons of sole proprietorships, partnerships, and franchises. From there, he provides a comprehensive guide to starting and running your business successfully.
The following is a list of the types of questions you can expect to get answered from the book: Is this the right career for me? How do I get started? How do I produce an image? How do I select reliable suppliers? How do I address staff issues? How do I manage my finances?
