The businesses that take the time to plan their success are more likely to become successful.

Also essential for success in the coffee shop business is organisation!

There are many tasks that you will need to take care of each day in your coffee shop, to ensure the smooth running of your business.

And that's why it is so important for you to plan each and every day!

It is vital that all of your essential tasks are scheduled and taken care of.

Tasks you will need to take care of in your coffee shop include - but are not limited to:

• Preparing for the following day:  Defrosting frozen products, preparing sandwich fillings and replenishing the server.
• Stock taking:  You must allocate a member to take care of stock control and maintain a tidy stock room.  This person will be responsible for ordering, taking note of damaged or missing cutlery and other items, and keeping your store well stocked.
• Staff management:  Typically this is the job of your supervisor who will open up and ensure that all staff are available to work.
• Bathroom replenishment:  Make sure the toilets are clean and well stocked with toilet rolls, soaps and clean towels.
• Till management:  Again, your supervisor will generally be responsible for the till.  Takings will be banked daily.
• Filling display cabinets:  Anything prepared the previous day should be moved to the display cabinets.
• Delivery management:  You will need to ensure somebody is responsible for managing deliveries in.
• Displaying bakery goods:  These will need to be unpacked and arranged for display.
• Cleaning of the shop:  Floors should be swept in time for opening.

A full routine task list can be used to make the job of managing your coffee shop much easier!
