Opening a new coffee shop is an incredibly stressful endeavor. The checklist of to-dos is a mile long, there are thousands of small (and big) decisions to make, and for many, opening a new shop brings forth new levels of financial anxiety. We wanted to find a way to infuse some fun into the process and break up the stress of opening a new business with insights, education, and the delight of receiving mail that’s not a utility bill.
We’re proud to announce the New Coffee Shop Welcome Box, a physical box of free goodies for owners of new cafés, coffee shops, trucks, and carts.
Inside you’ll find a copy of our How To Handbook, one of the most practical and beloved print editions of Fresh Cup ever published. The How To Handbook includes articles and checklists every new business owner needs on topics like how to design a menu, smallware essentials, and how to foster an inclusive and welcoming space. There’s also a rotating cast of product samples, special offers and coupons from sponsors, and swag.
