Startup Costs. The type of location and whether a coffee shop is independent or financed are both major determinants of startup costs. A coffee cart can cost $20,000 to $25,000 to start up while a kiosk may cost $25,000 to $75,000.Drive-through locations are typically $80,000 to $200,000, although smaller units can be less expensive.it-down locations typically cost between $200,000 and $375,000 to set up, according to the Bellissimo Coffee InfoGroup. Based on information from Entrepreneur, a franchised sit-down shop can cost up to $673,700 to launch.
Coffee Sales. Coffee sales play a big role in boosting a cafe's profits, since the markup on coffee is higher than most food items. An average cup costs from 55 to 69 cents, which most cafes sell for $2.50 to $3.50, according to consultant Tony Eldred's analysis for the Beanzaround website. If the price is $2.50, selling 100 more cups per day would generate an additional $66,000 per year in profits. Based on these figures, Eldred estimates profit margins for cafes and restaurants should equal 25 and 7 percent, respectively.
