How He Started a Coffee Business (With $1,800)

I love his no nonsense focus and effort. Equals integrity.😊

A good pos does all that accounts without a spreadsheet

Hey! I would love that spreadsheet Max mentioned, but his email bounced back. Has anybody else tried to email him? Or do we have the correct email address? Thanks guys!

Maxvell is such a great person. He's very generous with his knowledge and experience, and that's sadly hard to find nowadays. He's also extremely capable business owner, with amazing systems implemented in the business.

I’m in the startup phase of opening my coffee house and this has been a wealth of knowledge thanks for a great interview!

what’s the first step in opening a brick and mortar business ? how and where do i find a place to buy for business purposes ? thanks !

That was a really nice interview. It's cool that he shared so much info.

It's amazing and I am so impressed with how he operationalised the business. I would just say, have the baristas tie their hair behind the counter. I don't mean to pick! But it comes with good intentions.

That one idiot wearing a stupid mask ruins your video.

was that plus/minus $100 for 600 cups? or did you mean to use ~, which means approximately?

What he did with the spreadsheet might look like a small gesture, but it’s a huge act that defines someone’s true traits, as long as it’s honest, of course, and it doesn’t strike me as not being so. Thank you chief, may the laws of the universe pay you back a hundredfold.

👍👍

Every time I see an employee at a coffee shop or restaurant with super long hair putting food together it grosses me out to no end. TIE THAT SHIT UP.

so many customers. Crazy

16.50 an hour is more than 50k a month for 20 people, with a revenue of 80k a month and all the additional costs I am surprised you even manage to get a 10% margin by end of year, good job!

Solid video! Thanks, all!

Sound like a a.i bot, slow down fella 😂

Thanks, this information is incridible and i really appreciated

You can tell hes a nazi to work for

O dang, I live 9 miles away

So, just get gifted a $7000 espresso machine...got it.

I truly appreciate this video

I'm more interested in coffee from a roasting and bean standpoint, hearing him talk about using the cart as a marketing opportunity I wonder if that would work pivoting it into selling the bean to home brewers... interesting thoughts now.

He is earning 84k/annum minus taxes if he is paying any…is a decent amount. Can be comparable to a salaried guy with 160k.

So if he is able to run and earn similar amount from 1+ coffee shop, according to me, he has achieved it.

What unit does he mean?

Crazy value

I can tell based off of the first 30 seconds this has crazy turnover

Hi, how can I get that cost excel sheet

Bull shit. He started the business with a $30,000 coffee machine.

Great insights. Question: when you say 10% profit, is that before or after you pay yourself (maxwell) salary?

Hey! So I wanted to know how did you obtain the start up loan, I own a smoothie business inside of a gym and would love to Expand to a store front!

Beautiful story ❤ A story of hope and of never giving up.

Wonderful, insightful content. Loved everything was very transparent. Thank you!

Max is 100% right in not branding in house cups. Theres no need and using cups and utensils that mimic what you use at home is always better.

One day i will open one too
I have been always a Fan of coffee and it's easily my favorite drink.
Pray for me please so i can achieve this goal.

Time , chance , opportunity, place , understand how the game work ....

its rad how transparent this guy is.

you ask good questions mate .keep up the good work.

I grew up speaking multiple languages. Communication😊

Communication. I read like 3 language

I like your humbleness saying communication is your weekend because this has been one of the most informative from the numbers & business side that I've seen in a while! I really like watching this and I'm not opening a coffee ☕ shop!!

Hey sir when are you bringing us an interview on the Electronics and Electricals business.

Thanks for the insight so glad people exist like this to for all the insights and easy misses as a new comer.

Bullshit

vid needs a "totally" counter lmao

I thought of a Starbucks before there was one on Melrose Ave in LA, early 90’s I came back from Japan from modeling and wanted to open a coffee / Tea place , I was 23 , I didn’t know how to do that type of stuff at that age , then boom here comes star bucks grrrr

BerrY inspirationaL. Thank You.💋

My friend's mom had started a coffee shop, great idea, but just didn't happen. Gotta have a fast convenient location#1, in my opinion. #2 customers with dispensable income. She understood costs, and such, but yeah.
