The Blue42 suite
Planning and operating tools for independent coffee shop and cafe owners: choosing a site, checking whether the lease works, pricing the buildout, building the pro forma your lender asks for, and running the weekly numbers once the doors are open.
Most people opening a coffee shop hit these questions one at a time, usually in the wrong order, and usually with a broker or a contractor waiting on an answer. Each tool below answers the question you hit at a specific point. You don’t need all nine. You need the one you’re standing in front of.
Everything between finding a space and unlocking the door — site selection, the lease, equipment, buildout costs, and the financials a lender will ask to see.
Calculates the sales volume your lease demands, tests it against what the trade area can realistically support, and returns a clear GO, CONDITIONAL, or NO-GO—with the reason attached. Walks you through what to investigate before you commit.
New to site feasibility? Read the guide first — the arithmetic, the site-condition checklist and the landlord asks, worked through.
The weekly numbers that keep an independent cafe profitable once you’re open — cash, labor, waste, and getting found by the people already searching for coffee near you.
