For the founder who wants to open one specialty café in Czechia and stand behind the bar: which of four formats to choose, what it really pays its owner, and whether the money put in comes back. One engine, sixty months, every figure in crowns with its source and date, and the frontier at which each answer changes, so that you can replace our assumption with a count of your own site.
Real PDF pages: cover, executive summary, charts and competitive tables.



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.
A to-go window, an espresso bar, a café with food and the take-over of an equipped café, each with its build, its staff, its rent and its volume, judged on the same sixty-month path. The owner is a sole trader: the pay is the profit after social and health insurance and income tax, set against the minimum wage and the market wage for the same hours.
A menu audit of 60 venues, 24 of them on the cafés' own menus, the chains beside them, the café companies whose filed accounts can be read, and asking rents and key money in Prague, Brno, Ostrava, Plzeň and Olomouc.
The VAT rate on a coffee drink in 2026 and under the act signed for 2027, the return of sales recording, the company form, the minimum wage of 2026 and 2027, the payslip, agreements and their limits, the trade licence, the two food notifications, the change of use and the toilets.
The investment line by line, the cup cascade, the fixed costs, the monthly and five-year accounts, the frontier in receipts a day, a tornado and a price-volume matrix, a stress table, the verdict for each format, a risk watch system and a plan with decision gates.
The engine set against the filed accounts, four adversarial reviews and an independent audit with what each changed, every input with its source, date and confidence level, and the address of every source.
Charts and tables built from the same engine, each with its source.





A few pages from the report. The free sample contains the cover and the contents.
For a Czech resident, or someone settling in Czechia, who wants to open one specialty coffee shop as a first business and run it personally. 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 a different verdict.
Yes. It gives a verdict for each of the four formats at a stated base volume, the conditions under which it holds, and the receipts a day at which it would change, so that you can check your own site against it before signing.
From laws and official statistics, the tax administration's guidance, accounts filed by café companies and read in the original filings of the court register, price lists, job and rental advertisements and a menu audit of 60 venues read on 2 October 2026. Every input carries its source, date and confidence level in the traceability chapter. What could not be verified is declared, not filled in: the base volumes, for one, are derived from sales and never counted, because no Czech café publishes its receipts.
The verdict is for Prague outside Praha 1. Brno, Ostrava, Plzeň and Olomouc are given their asking rents and advertised pay as a cost comparison, not as verdicts, because the report has no evidence of what a shop sells there.
