Espresso / Coffee KioskIn regard to your coffee kiosk location, remember that a coffee kiosk is often thought of as a larger coffee cart location. Minimum start-up cost for a coffee kiosk is $50,000 to $60,000 with basic equipment. Coffee kiosks come in a variety of shapes, usually multiple-sided and can be either circular, rectangular, six-sided, fully enclosed or horseshoe shaped. Coffee kiosks look more permanent than coffee carts and are usually situated in a secure permanent location. They are usually assembled from modular components and can be taken apart and easily reassembled in a different location. Once electricity is in place, a coffee kiosk can be brought in and usually be assembled in a day or two. The functional advantage of a coffee kiosk over a coffee cart is the extra room it provides, allowing you the ability to offer a wider array of products. With a coffee cart, you may have to choose between a granita machine and a pastry case. Typically, a coffee kiosk provides enough space to offer a wider variety of products. The same factors that dictate the location of a coffee cart should apply also to a coffee kiosk location. Check out the type of security the location provides. You want a situation where someone is watching over your coffee / espresso cart or coffee kiosk when you are not there. You may want to have your coffee cart or coffee kiosk designed with panels that go up at night, so no one can get into your coffee business operation when you are not around. If you are in a mall location where round-the-clock security is provided, a simple canvas wrap may suffice. |
