Hi,
In 1 or 2 weeks i will be signing my contract to open my first Coffee Shop, i really think it could work, of course it needs human ressources because to run a business like this one, you need employees but if it works correctly I could open another one quickly.
But i'm currently working with my parents in their coffee shop in the meantime.
In the other hands, my main supplier is not doing shit to add products to his portfolio and we are stuck in the choices of products, his customer services is bad, there's always an issues with the delivery, they change prices without telling you..you got it i want to create the same business, but way better than them.
BUT, how can you run an e-commerce business like this when you must have a constant stock of products, i mean i would like to start a business like this but where do i start..
.Do i need to be the middleman between the supplier of the product (maker) and the customer and taking my comission on the sales ? or...
.Do i need to negociate a price with the supplier of the product (maker) and sell it a bit more expensive ?
I hear you saying : "But why would you be different than him ?"
Well, i know the man behind the business, he is lazy af and as it's working well for him, he said himself why would i need to search new products if these one works ?
Many friends who own coffee shops and use this supplier can't stand him and are tired of the bad customer services....there's an opportunity and i want to take it.
So how can you start a business like this, do i need to start extra small and store the products at my house or do i need to be the middleman ?
Thanks for taking the time.
