Running a cafe in Washington

The daily reality

A morning rush that punishes any slow checkout. Tracking dozens of small modifiers per drink.

Inventory

Cafes sell mostly perishable, fast-turning stock, so waste at close is where margin quietly disappears.

Margin

Drink margins are strong but volume-dependent, so speed at the counter during the morning rush directly affects the day’s numbers.

Visibility

Owners want to see peak hours and best-selling drinks clearly enough to staff and prep for the next rush, not just react to it.

Doing business in Washington
