FAQs

How much do coffee shop business owners earn?
Coffee shop and cafe owners report median annual sales of $400,000 and annual owner earnings of $98,548. These figures are based on businesses that have listed their annual revenue and seller's discretionary earnings.
How do I value a coffee shop business?
Valuing a coffee shop or café involves considering several factors, including annual sales, profit, growth (or decline) trends, and demographic trends of the local market. Brokers, business owners, and business buyers will typically rely on valuation multiples to gauge business value relative to similar businesses in the market. Revenue multiples among coffee shops listed for sale range from 0.37 to 0.80, with the median at 0.55. Earnings multiples range from 1.91 to 3.50, with the median at 2.62.
