I am investing in a coffee shop with my partner who has worked in the industry but never been an entrepreneur.

I have a few questions:

1. Please scrutinize the budget to eyeball any figures that seem unrealistic

2. Please advise on what employee costs exist ontop of salary.

3. Please advise on what coffee making equipment is required beyond a coffee machine.

   1. I have been told I need the following, is all of this required or can 1 machine do it all?
      Espresso machine, grinder, puq press, pump, accumulation tank, pitcher rinser.
      Batch grinder, batch coffee maker.

4. How should we budget/set up the food section of our menu
