Opening a coffee shop in my hometown was a long-time plan of mine.
It took me a while to save up enough for a down payment on a commercial property in an advantageous location.
I needed to take out a loan to cover the investment into setting up my business. I remodeled the bathrooms, put a new roof on the building, installed new light fixtures and purchased all of the necessary equipment. When I first opened the doors, there was no extra funds to hire a lot of help. I worked every shift and did nearly every job myself. It was exhausting. I needed to arrive hours before regular business hours in order to bake the inventory of muffins, bagels, cookies and assorted treats. At closing time, I had no choice but to spend hours cleaning up. It fell to me to vacuum, scrub the bathroom, wash the dishes, wipe the counters and all of the necessary tasks. I realized that I wasn’t doing a great job. The carpet began looking stained and dirty. I finally hired professional help. Hiring a cleaning business to handle the general upkeep was a smart decision. It frees up my time to concentrate on growing my business. I know that when customers step inside my shop, every area is perfectly clean. The cleaning company has superior products, tools and techniques to do a more thorough job of it. They spot treat and steam clean the carpet, wash the front windows and make sure all of the surfaces are free of contaminants. I am very thankful that I can now hire more help.
