With ‘coffee shop culture’ growing ever more popular, the coffee business is booming- and there is an ever-increasing range of coffee shop supplies to go with this. But kitting out your coffee shop with the necessities needn’t be complicated- in fact, with the rise of the internet, it is now easier than ever.
You will find that many online companies stock just about everything you need- from beans to mugs and even aprons- and some even sell packages containing just about everything for one bulk price, so you can get all the supplies for your shop quickly and easily. It is also often possible to save money on postage if you buy several items from one company, and some will even offer free postage when you spend over a certain amount of money (although if the site you choose is overseas, you may not qualify for this- check the company’s shipping guidelines). Having said this, it can be worthwhile to spend a bit of time comparing prices across sites so that you can be sure you are getting the best deals- you might find that it works out cheaper to buy different items from different companies.
As well as the basics, make sure you don’t forget about miscellaneous items such as ashtrays, paper takeaway cups and so on, and check out the decorative items on the various sites you look at- for example, many online companies stock pictures and clocks with a coffee theme, which can look fantastic in your shop. Another great way to add a bit of flair is to have your mugs personalised- for example, you can get the name of your shop printed on them. If you are thinking of doing this, it can be cheaper and quicker to buy your mugs from a company who offer a personalisation service, so you can get it all done at once.
