How do you know what size refrigerator you need? How much power does your equipment actually use? What does a water filtration system look like? Working in all the elements? Setup and tear down process? And wait… 3-compartment sink or handwash sink?!
Ice bin capacity. Menu pricing. Vendor fees. Profit margins. Permits. Equipment. Business goals. ALL the things no one tells you about before you start.
We’ll be sharing what we’ve learned along the way—especially for our fellow WA State “coffee cart” folks (because apparently that is a complicated term in itself - you'll see why 😅).
We definitely don’t have all the answers, but we’ve learned a LOT through trial, error, research, and stubborn curiosity.
So drop a comment 👇 What’s something you’ve always wondered about running a mobile coffee business?
