    How much coffee to take to a festival?

    We do a lot of festivals and it really varies on the type of crowd. It helps a lot to talk to other vendors before if you can and find out what products sell well at that festival and the type of crowd to expect. Then determine how that fits in with your buyers and product. Make sure you have...

    Question for Ambex users and roasting controls

    Nordfab duct uses, have a question.

    I need 8" and approx 30' total so price difference will be pretty large. Thanks for the link, it at least lets me compare pricing. Seems like the place that worked my quote is pretty much inline price wise with that website.

    Nordfab duct uses, have a question.

    Are you using the heavy wall, the 18 gauge or the standard gauge QF duct? I ask because I worked on a layout with my local Nordfab supplier and they spec'ed the standard gauge.

    Question for Ambex users and roasting controls

    Looking for a 10k in the Northeast

    Yeah, I was talking to Amer. He had one 10k in stock from a cancelled order but it sold before I could firm up finances on my side. Worked out anyway, I ended up getting a used Ambex 10k from the middle of the country. Just waiting for the truck to get it here.

    Looking for a 10k in the Northeast

    Anyone have a lead on a 10k for sale or coming up for sale near the northeast? Seems everything on Ebay recently has been out west. Prefer an Ambex but am open to others. We could also include a trade with our 2k in the deal if someone was interested.

    We've been using a Square stand. Ipad and USB cash drawer for a few months now its been working well. We also use Square on our Iphone/Androids devices for mobile sales. The card reader on the Stand is much better then the plug in card reader so that has been really useful. The cash drawer is...

    Do you Include the Weight of a Coffee Bag when Selling?

    The cashier should be entering a tare before weighing and charging. When they scan the item or enter from a scan sheet it's probably already calculated.

    Sales person for small roaster - How do I pay them?

    Yes, per hour base salary but I was also thinking a commission also for some incentive. I'm just not sure how to structure the commission. For instance maybe a percentage of sales from a new account for 3 months or maybe the first 10 orders. Something along those lines. Yes, no employees yet...

We have built a very good reputation and have a growing group of loyal customers and have been gaining ground in the local retail businesses. We are also about to open a small cafe in...
