DeepSeek vs Gemini

Offering delivery can help if you have spare kitchen capacity and nearby demand, but it's not automatically right. Delivery apps take large commissions, so your profit on each order may shrink. You also need packaging that keeps food good and staff time to manage orders. Start small: test with a limited menu and your own driver or a low-cost service, track whether repeat orders justify the effort, and stop if it hurts dine-in quality or profit.

In most cases, no. Coffee doesn’t travel well, and third-party delivery apps take up to 30% in fees. Because café margins are already thin, those commissions usually wipe out your profit, and delivering a single latte makes no financial sense.

Instead, set up an order-ahead option for in-store pickup. You keep all the revenue, and the drinks stay fresh. Only consider delivery if you sell high-margin food, handle large catering orders for local offices, or can use your own staff to walk orders to nearby businesses.

I’m really sorry the price increase caught you off guard. Our own costs for materials and shipping have gone up significantly, and we held off as long as we could. We tried to keep the increase as small as possible while still staying in business. I truly appreciate you telling us how you feel, and I hope we can keep serving you.

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We completely understand that price changes are frustrating, and it was a tough decision for our small team.

Recently, our own costs for quality supplies have gone up quite a bit. To keep providing the same high standard you expect from us without cutting corners, we had to adjust our pricing.

We truly appreciate your support and hope we can continue serving you. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do.
