this is the question everyone asks me so let’s talk numbers **I went into a vanilla shell in torrance. this building was never a restaurant/cafe, so I needed prelim permits which took 3 months. this was on top of the standard building and health permits you need to open up.  you can go second gen, but remember there’s a reason the previous tenant left that unit. either the rent was too high or the loc just isn’t good. I think second gen is ok if you already have a big following or if it’s your second shop, but for first time operators I’d be cautious. the real cost was closer to $192,000. since I didn't do a preinspection, we found some plumbing and mechanical issues that weren't reflected in our plans. we still would've had to fix them either way, but finding out sooner would've helped. there are a lot of ways to fund a shop. I think bootstrapping is the best way to go because there's just something different about having 100% skin in the game. you'll care that much more vs. having family or investors fund it. it definitely takes longer because you have to save up the capital, but it pays off since you own 100% of it and can reinvest everything back into it if you want to grow. you can get a loan, investors, or partners, but they all eat away at your margins. the only time I'd recommend it is if you're new to this and don't want to learn behind the bar first, but you've got the bread. then get a partner or a good manager to run the shop for you don't just save for the build out. have some cash for the first couple months of operation: payroll, cogs, rent/utilities, plus all the monthly subs: insurance, bookkeeping, wifi, music, security, etc. one thing that saved me money: every wholesale supplier has sales reps. don’t pay full price off their website until you talk to a rep. if you’re placing a decently sized order they’ll almost always hook you up.  just trying to be transparent and break down my process because I wish someone had shared their experience with me before I started.  #coffeeshop #businessowner #torrance
