What does a business plan for a coffee shop cost?
Effective and last updated: September 3, 2026
$720 for a lender-format coffee shop plan with three-year projections.
Coffee is a rent-and-throughput business, and the plan is written that way: the lease is the biggest bet, and the daily cover count is what has to clear it.
What goes in a coffee shop plan
- The lease terms as they are, with the fit-out cost and any landlord contribution stated separately.
- Daily covers, average ticket and the morning peak share, which is what the whole model turns on.
- Staffing by shift rather than as an annual figure, since payroll is the line that moves the break-even.
- Break-even in covers per day, stated in one sentence, because that is the number a lender remembers.
What the price includes
- Full written plan: summary, market, operations, marketing, and risks
- Three-year financial projections as a spreadsheet you can edit
- Formatted for lender and grant submissions
- Two revision rounds included
Turnaround: 10-14 business days
