How long did it take for your coffeeshop to breakeven ?

[Combi72]

After how many months or years from opening did your coffeeshop reach breakeven? Meaning your monthly sales equaled your fixed and variable costs. What is in your experience a good rule of thumb?

Returned in profits and wages an amount of money equivalent to my total invested capital, I called 'Equity Breakeven' which was generally achieved between 2.5 to 3 years after opening.

Thanks. That is a key milestone , when you recovwr your investment. Also called payout.
