95 million cups of coffee and 100 million cups of tea are consumed in the UK every day. In fact, more than £4 billion is spent in high street coffee shops every year in the UK. We are famously a nation that loves tea and now that the coffee obsession has taken over the country, this could be the perfect time to set up a coffee and tea business.
A fairly untapped sector of this industry is the mobile coffee and tea business. Consumers have less time to sit in a café for hours, enjoying a hot beverage or two. Many consumers now want a quick tea and coffee takeaway service that is conveniently located and still provides high-quality beverages.
A mobile coffee and tea business will sell many of the same products found in cafés and coffee shops. The big difference is that you will be working from a vehicle that is fitted specifically with the type of equipment you will need to provide great tea and coffee. This enables you to travel to various locations to increase the number of people your business is exposed to and the number of potential customers you could receive.
A mobile coffee and tea business also has relatively low start-up costs, particularly when compared to a traditional static coffee and tea shop. You will also have lower running costs and overhead costs, which can increase your potential profit margin.
Running a mobile coffee and tea business does not require you to have any prior qualifications or experience. Although barista training could be an advantage, these skills can be learnt quickly. All you need is a flair for business, the commitment to making your business succeed and a solid business plan.
A mobile coffee and tea business can be run in a variety of ways.
Many coffee and tea businesses also choose to sell additional food and beverage products, such as soft drinks, cakes, cookies, pastries and other snacks. You also need to consider the type of tea and coffee that you plan to sell.
