Focus On Optimizing Your Workflow

Coffee Caravan isn’t just about serving coffee, it’s about building a streamlined business. Don’t just dump your stations anywhere.Plan your layoutfor maximum efficiency. Think assembly line:grinding,brewing, andserving.

Don’t Put Your Coffee Maker Near The Sink

Even though it might seem logical to place your coffee maker near the sink for easy water access, resist the urge. A click in the wrong place cansend a perfectly brewed pot down the drain,leaving you scrambling.

There’s nothing worse than a customer waiting for a coffee that needs to be remade as you race against the clock. Instead,keep your coffee maker in a spotwhere accidents like thisare less likely to happen.

Go For The Treasure Path

Don’t Be Afraid Of More Challenging Days

Manage Several Recipes At Once

A single coffee recipe might be safe, but it won’t make you rich. As you master the flow,diversify your menu with multiple kinds of coffee.Don’t just singularly upgrade your coffee one at a time. Thisvarietybrings in more cash for even faster upgrades.

Experiment with different combinations and monitor which recipes are the most efficient to maximize your profits.
