Real PDF pages: cover, executive summary, charts and competitive tables.
For the founder who wants to open one specialty café in Poland 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 złoty 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 insurance, the health contribution and income tax, set against the minimum wage and the market wage for the same hours.
A menu audit of 34 venues, the coffee chains, the bakery and the convenience counter beside them, the café companies whose filed accounts can be read, and asking rents by zone in Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, the Tricity and Poznań.
The VAT rate on a coffee drink with or without milk and on food eaten in or taken away, the cash register and e-invoicing duties, the company form, the minimum wage of 2026 and 2027, the payslip, the mandate contract and what the labour inspector can do with it since July 2026, the sanitary approval and the technical rules for the premises.
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 Polish resident, or someone settling in Poland, 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, rulings of the tax office, accounts filed by café companies and read through an aggregator, price lists, job and rental advertisements and a menu audit of 34 venues read on 2 October 2026, most of them delivery listings. 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 Polish independent publishes its receipts.
The verdict is for Warsaw. Kraków, Wrocław, the Tricity and Poznań are given their asking rents and no verdict, because the price sample outside Warsaw is too thin to carry a price level by city, and the report says so.
