A poet / artist space will be lucky to have a few dozen people come in every day.

- unstuckdev 8y agoOne of the local coffee shops solves this problem by also being a music school: http://hometownrhythms.com/ http://hometownrhythms.com/ They also have regular musical acts. The Athens/metro Atlanta area has a lot of cover bands.
- lostlogin 8y agoThere is one I used to go to that was very busy and they would make 300-600 per staff member per day and there were 6 of them. This reddit thread gives similar numbers per barista. https://www.google.co.nz/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/barista/comments/2qv2kb/question_how_many_cups_can_a_barista_make_a_day/ https://www.google.co.nz/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/barista/comm...
- matt_the_bass 8y ago1000 day seems low to me. That’s only ~$10k/day. Can they justify at that rate?
- sdinsn 8y agoAre you saying 10k a day is low? That's 3.65 million a year- that's absolutely enough to support rent, part time employees, and a nice profit margin (~10 - 15% on average).
- matt_the_bass 8y agoYes (I’m guesstimating $10 per customer). That’s fine for a mom and pop coffee shop maybe. But does that support a Starbucks? I’d guess no. I’d guess that Starbucks needs 2-3x that to justify keeping the location open.
- sdinsn 8y agoLet me again repeat this, which you ignored: > That's 3.65 million a year- that's absolutely enough to support rent, part time employees, and a nice profit margin (~10 - 15% on average).
