Well done, and good luck
Good luck.
good luck...id second the facebook twitter thingy....keep us posted how its going!
Great move, hope it all works out 😉
My advice... Find your type of customer and market like crazy to them, if it's young hip types social network buzz is the answer 😉
Be a bit careful about some of your offers - a local chinese round our way offers a £6 all you can eat lunch buffet and the local teenagers seem to go there at 11am then leave at 4pm having taken the offer at face value.
Not saying they are doing anything wrong but cannot see the restaurant making a profit (I think they drink tap water!)
Pics please.
Will post pics tomorrow it's - all the decorating stuff is out at the mo.
Lots still to do!
good luck. get some barista training and learn how not to make burnt bitter tasting coffee, if the coffee is top notch people will seek you out.
i have a friend who has to drive to manchester from london a fair bit and he goes out of his way to stop here:[url= http://www.wearecoffeefix.com/ ]http://www.wearecoffeefix.com/[/url]
a few british cycling athletes stop there on their training rides too.
You're just down the road from us, will you be toddler friendly? We'll pop in and say hey!
good luck mate 😀 i live in devizes so if i ever get my fitness up to scratch would like to mtb on ridgeway the whole length someday (i know that some of it is footpath only though 😡 would definitely stop at your establishment 😀
Markie - totally toddler friendly. We have one a year old and one 2 and a half. We are going to have some toddler toys in the shop and drawing stuff so mums and dads can have a rest while the little ones amuse themselves!
It's going to be focussed on families and retired peeps during the day, commuters and workers early doors. Also going a text/call option for people to phone up orders for collection if they are working.
That's the plan anyway!
Oh and bacon and sausage sarnies available too !
Ace! We'll look forward to seeing you there!

Barista in my local coffee shop goes out training people as well working shifts in other coffee shops getting more experience & ideas. I'm getting to enjoy drip coffee now along with the usuall espresso & flat whites.

Gareth at CoffeeFix is great. Makes a mean flat White & was prepared to wait open for me when I was in Manchester picking a car up. Didn't get there till 6:30 but made me & my kids more than welcome.
Hey Rob, great to hear you're getting it up and running, did Dee ever get in touch?
Lee - yes she did. She is v busy though but we've kept in touch! Cheers matey
Don't be blinded by all the social media hype. It's good for some things and everyone's dead excited about it cos it's the new kid on the block and cheap but it's not the magic marketing cure-all that it can seem to be with all the hype...
What social media is, is a new (and more sophisticated) version of 'word of mouth' ie: what your mate, neighbour says about a brand.
So as a small local business, think about how you can harness word of mouth ie: encouraging customers to tell their friends and neighbours how great your place is. This might just be asking them to tell people, it might be asking for feedback, it might be giving them an incentive for telling their friends, giving them flyers to give out, social events etc etc. Lots of ways to do it cheaply but don't assume social media is the only way..
Good luck...
Just saw your post on my milkshake thread...
How's the coffee shop going?
