How much do coffee shop owners actually work? If you’re thinking about opening a cafe, you might be wondering: Is this a part-time gig? A 9-to-5? Or a full-on, life-consuming endeavor? In this episode, we break down what it really looks like to run a coffee shop, drawing from our own experience of starting and operating two cafes. We cover the different approaches people take—whether you’re behind the bar every day or trying to build a more passive operation—and the challenges that come with each model. Plus, we share strategies to avoid burnout, delegate effectively, and ultimately create a sustainable work-life balance. Hope this one helps!
