Cafe Beverage Business Startup: Build the Right Drinks, Recipes and Equipment
Plan your beverage business startup with Golden Choice Malaysia. To begin with, build a drink menu that fits your customers and price range. After that, match recipes, ingredients, equipment and staff training to the way your outlet works.
What do you need help with?
Not sure what drinks to sell?
We’ll help you create the right drinks for your business.
To begin with, tell us who you want to serve and what they will spend. For example, a takeaway kiosk and a sit-down cafe may need different menus. Get 1-to-1 help and drink ideas that fit your business.
Struggling to make every drink consistent?
We’ll show you exactly how to make it.
Use step-by-step recipes and staff guides (SOPs) to set the portions and method. As a result, new and trained staff can follow the same steps.
Not sure how much you make per cup?
Know your cost before you sell.
We help work out ingredient cost per cup. Next, compare that cost with your target price. However, the balance must also cover other costs. Check those costs before you add the drink to your menu.
Your beverage business startup: from idea to service
Start with a small menu you can make well. After that, bring your recipes, stock, tools and training into one plan for opening day.
Concept
To begin with, share your outlet type, customers and price range. Also, plan a short opening menu that fits your space and the drinks you want to sell.
Menu and recipe
Next, choose your drinks and ingredients. Also, work through portions, steps and cost per cup before you buy opening stock.
Cafe startup equipment
After that, match coffee machines, blenders and tools to your menu. Also, check how many cups you expect to sell and the space you have.
Beverage training and support
Finally, discuss recipes, staff guides and hands-on training. Also, plan ingredient supply and the support you need once your outlet opens.
