For the founder who wants to open one specialty café in Sweden and stand behind the bar: what a first coffee shop in Stockholm sells, what it costs to open and what it leaves its owner. Four formats in one engine tied to the filed accounts of small Swedish café companies, sixty months, every figure in kronor with its source and date. The answer comes first, in a four-page executive summary, and the chapters hold the evidence behind it.
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.
The report opens with a stand-alone executive summary: the conclusion for each format and to whom it applies, the three figures that decide it, the capital and the reserve, the sales needed in kronor and in receipts a day, the owner's hours, the assumptions that carry the result, the evidence that is missing and the three checks to make before signing a lease.
A take-away shop, an espresso bar, a café with seating and food and the take-over of an equipped café, each with its fit-out, its staff, its rent and its prices. The engine is tied to what small Swedish café companies report in their annual accounts, by number of employees, and measures what the owner keeps over sixty months, the slow start and the money sunk in opening included. A format whose sales no source shows gets no verdict, and the report says what would allow one.
The two VAT rates on one cup and the date the lower one ends, the border between served and taken away, the limited company that employs its owner and the sole trader, the collective agreement in a country with no statutory minimum wage, evening and weekend supplements, holiday pay and the cost of an hour actually worked, food registration, building permit and change of use, ventilation, the grease separator, outdoor seating, music and the cash register.
The investment line by line at three levels, what is left of a cup served and to go, the account of the median company and where the plan departs from it, the sales at which the owner reaches the agreement's wage, intervals from resampling, stress rows one by one and combined, the first year and the five-year path, a risk watch system, a plan with decision gates and the case against the report's own conclusion.
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 resident of Sweden, or someone settling there, 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.
It gives a verdict for the three formats whose sales could be tied to observed evidence, each with its interval and with the changes that would move it, and it gives none for the fourth, saying what is missing and which check would allow one. The verdict is about a shop that sells what the median company of its size sells in Stockholm, not about a named site: the summary ends with the three checks that tell you where your own site stands.
Four pages right after the cover that can be read on their own: the answer, the money and the operation, 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 statutes and the Swedish Code of Statutes, the Tax Agency, official statistics, the hotel and restaurant collective agreement, the annual accounts that companies file with the Companies Registration Office, cafés' own price lists, advertisements of premises and of cafés for sale, and what the trade states in the press. 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 is Stockholm. Gothenburg and Malmö are given as facts — stated rents, municipal tax, fees and what the companies of the sample report there — and not as costed results. There is no ranking of cities.
