For the founder who wants to open one specialty café in Andorra and stand behind the counter: what a first coffee shop in Andorra la Vella or Escaldes-Engordany takes to open, what it has to sell before it pays the person who works in it, and what to count before signing a lease. Four ways in, costed in euros under the rules of 2026 and set beside what the official statistics report for restaurants and bars together, every figure with its source and date. The report gives no verdict for any format and says why: no café's accounts or sales can be read, and no specialty coffee price list in Andorra may be used. The answer it can give comes first, in a four-page executive summary, and the chapters hold the evidence behind it.

Each chapter answers one question a founder asks before signing a lease, and ends with what is settled. Whatever could not be verified is declared as such, next to what could.
The report opens with a stand-alone executive summary: why no format is given a verdict and to whom the figures apply, what the reference format must take for its owner to be paid, the money to open and to live through the first year, the owner's hours, the readings that carry the result, the evidence that is missing and the three checks to make before signing a lease, each with its thresholds.
A take-away counter, an espresso bar, a café with seats and the take-over of an equipped café, each with its staffing, its rent and its prices. The engine builds each from costs that can be named and prints the takings it needs as a band, never as one figure; since no specialty price can be observed in Andorra, drinks a day are given only at named price lists. What the official statistics report for restaurants and bars together is set beside it, with the reasons they cannot judge a specialty coffee shop.
Andorra's indirect tax, IGI, on what is served against what is taken away and what the till must do, the registration threshold and the simplified method, the opening IGI and its refund, card fees, the sole trader and the SL, the owner's CASS, the income tax and its personal minimum, the statutory minimum wage from gross pay to the employer's cost, foreign hires and their quotas, the parish's opening licence, activity tax and other fees, the rules for bars, public holidays and the four-year lease.
What is left of a cup, the plan of each format line by line, the lines of the frontier with what each includes, the first twelve months of cash and the second year, the money to open in blocks with what could not be priced, a one-page reckoner for your own account, a risk watch system, a plan with decision gates and the case against the report itself.

A few pages from the report. The free sample contains the cover and the contents.
For a resident of Andorra who wants to open one specialty coffee shop as a first business and work in it full time. It is not written for a chain planning another unit or for an investor who will hire a manager; they will find the evidence useful and different figures.
No, and it says so on its first page. A verdict needs the sales and the owner's pay of shops like yours, and this research could read none: a company's accounts are not open to the public, a small sole trader files none, and no specialty coffee price list in Andorra may be used. What it gives instead is what each format must take for its owner to be paid, as a band; where that sits against the official figures for restaurants and bars together; the money to open; and three checks, each with its thresholds in your own units, that turn the band into an answer for your own site.
Four pages right after the cover that can be read on their own: the answer, the money, the conditions and the next step. Every figure in it comes from the same engine as the chapters and is traced to its source there. It is part of the report and is not in the free sample.
From Andorra's laws, decrees and parish ordinances and tariffs in the official gazette (BOPA), the Department of Statistics' published series, the ordinary Andorran coffee lists that could be used, named French and Spanish coffee lists, Spanish official prices and tax rates, the European Central Bank, and the asked rents of a property portal and estate agencies. Every input carries its source, date and confidence level in the traceability chapter. What could not be verified is declared, not filled in, and sites whose terms forbid automated reading or commercial use were not read or not used.
No. No source that could be read states what a specialty coffee shop in Andorra sells in a day or a year. Every sales figure in the report is what a costed plan needs, labelled as such, and the report tells you how to count your own.
The base is Andorra la Vella and Escaldes-Engordany, where most residents, hotel nights and the usable rents are. The other parishes and the ski areas are given as facts and not as costed results. There is no ranking of places.
Euros of 18 October 2026, under the rules in force in 2026. French and Spanish figures are always named as such and never mixed with Andorran ones.
