SUMMARY:
On this episode, Aaron and Ben dive into one of the biggest cost drivers for coffee shop owners—coffee beans. With green coffee prices surging by over 60% in the last five years, the need to manage costs has never been greater.
Aaron and Ben explore why more coffee shop owners should consider roasting their own beans, breaking down the financial benefits, challenges, and long-term control it offers. They discuss the impact of supply chain fluctuations, how wholesale sourcing affects your bottom line, and the strategic move of adding a roasting business as a separate revenue stream.
If you’re looking to scale your coffee empire while keeping costs in check, this episode is packed with insights on delegation, cost-cutting, and making smart business decisions in an unpredictable market.
