Start and Run a Sandwich and Coffee Shop

Start and Run a Sandwich and Coffee ShopThe UK has undergone a massive transformation in terms of high street daytime eateries. Think back ten years or so and on most mediumsized high streets you would have found a pub, a fish and chip shop, a McDonald and a local bakery.Take a [url=http://www.libreria-apogeo.it/abercrom...]abercrombie milano[/url] stroll down your local high street now and things could not look more different. Shop after shop has been taken over by food retailers. Subway, O Gregg Pret A Manger, Eat, Costa, Starbucks, Caff Nero . . . not to mention the various restaurants, supermarkets and garages that offer daytime lunch options. Think of what you fancy to eat or drink and you be bamboozled by a choice of wraps, bagels, paninis, sushi, smoothies, pasties, salads, sandwiches, subs, burgers, wheat grass shots and mocha chocca latte cappuccinos!The UK has readily embraced the society and a sandwich bar or coffee shop is often viewed as a leisure experience rather than simply a place to eat and drink. Many people are also moving away from the pub culture, and sandwich bars are seen as an alternative place to meet and catch up. With this in mind, your sandwich bar customers will likely fall into these categories. Women, who prefer the sandwich bar, coffee shop environment to that of a pub. They feel comfortable sitting alone in the nonthreatening environment. Young and affluent professionals, who eat out far more than any other sector of society. Office workers, who buy their daily breakfast, lunch or perhaps both. Older customers, who like highquality, <a href="http://www.dtdrivingschool.co.uk/link... ">links of london outlet</a> personal service. This group has the potential to drastically improve your offpeak sales. Shoppers, who will make up a large percentage of a sandwich bar in revenue.So, before you decide whether there room for you, and your new caf you need to take a long, hard and very honest look at the industry. Make sure you weigh up the positives . . . and don ignore the negatives. The explosion in choice has helped to increase the market size, and more and more people now opt to buy their breakfast and lunch on the go, rather than preparing it themselves at home. This is also driven by consumers busier lives; in the UK we have the longest commuting times and the longest working hours in Europe. Good news for the ownerrun caf Consumers are prepared to pay more for a quality product. TNS data shows that the average sandwich in the UK now costs an alltime high. Consumers are enjoying a renaissance of Britishness, with traditional British foods and cuisine enjoying a resurgence in popularity.On the negative side, however: The explosion in [url=http://www.camfalconara.it/piumi...]moncler uomo[/url] daytime eateries has made the marketplace more and more competitive. This means that as an independent caf you have to be ingenious and flawless in order to succeed. High street rents have rocketed, [url=http://www.dtdrivingschool.co.uk/link... ]links of london outlet[/url] as have business rates and service charges. Food prices have risen, and will continue to rise in the future. Staff costs can be expensive, with regulations such as the minimum wage, <a href="http://www.libreria-apogeo.it/monc..."&... moncler</a> and mandatory holiday and sick pay for casual parttime staff. New guidelines for detailed food labelling for packed sandwiches have been introduced, and the industry is under pressure from the government to meet new health <a href="http://www.dtdrivingschool.co.uk/long... ">longchamp bag</a> guidelines, <a href="http://www.libreria-apogeo.it/abercrom...">abercrombie milano</a> for example, in relation to salt levels in foods.Added to all this you <a href="http://www.camfalconara.it/piumi...">moncler uomo</a> also be aware that the economy is not as buoyant as it was. At the time of writing, newspapers are full of headlines warning of an economic recession, a house market crash and general financial slowdown.Will we, won we? It incredibly hard to know for sure whether the UK will slide into economic depression. What I do know is that business in my caf is still growing year on year. However, I also know that for a new sandwich bar just starting out the uphill struggle of becoming established will be that bit steeper in the current economic climate.In fact, accountancy firm Deloitte have recently stated that in their view it has never been more difficult to build a successful, sustainable and socially responsible food and beverage business in the UK. Why? Well, as their report Food and Beverage 2012 a taste of things to come highlights, higher commodity prices have become the norm rather than a temporary peak, and the [url=http://www.dtdrivingschool.co.uk/long... ]longchamp bag[/url] high cost of food produce represents a permanent step change, not a blip.Beginning in 2005, and for the first time since the 1970s, food prices have been increasing substantially. As a result, since 2000 the price of wheat has tripled. In 2007 alone, wheat prices rose 52%. For food retailers this means that they have to be as competitive as they can be; they need to really differentiate their products, and have strong brands, innovative products or services and a superior customer experience.So, starting your own sandwich bar is [url=http://www.libreria-apogeo.it/monc...]piumini moncler[/url] not going to be easy, and once it up and running you never be able to take your foot off the gas. Are you prepared for that? My advice is, ask yourself some tough questions, do masses of research, and take the leap only when you absolutely certain.If you are prepared to be flexible, work harder than you ever worked before, and have a good feel for food, then you have every chance of making a success of your business, earning a reasonable income, and securing an asset for your future along the way.
