The complexity behind ingress and egress rights is that they require you to also have rights to another piece of property. After all, you can't exit your property if you don't have the right to enter into the adjacent property.
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.ariable food cost is a small part of the cost of running a coffee shop. Rent, which shouldn't exceed 15 percent of sales, is another major expense. Staff cost, including payroll taxes, benefits and payroll accounting services, should stay under 35 percent of projected sales, according to Crimson Cup Coffee and Tea.
The average cost to open a restaurant in a RestaurantOwner.com survey was $498,888 (based on 700 respondents; the Census data included over 700,000 businesses in this category). That said, there are many less expensive ways to get a start in food service. A food truck will set you back between $30,000 and $200,000, depending on whether you buy a new or used truck and how many bells and whistles you add.
