Context

Collaborated on the development of a new family-oriented café concept blending premium coffee culture with a thoughtfully designed play environment. The goal was to validate the business model and define a path to launch.

Approach

Built an integrated financial model to assess startup costs, revenue potential, and staffing needs across multiple formats (flagship vs. satellite). Provided input on pricing, membership structures, and brand positioning to balance community accessibility with profitability.

Impact

The model and strategic framework equipped the founders with clear visibility into capital requirements, payback timelines, and location strategy, turning a creative concept into a viable business plan ready for investor and landlord discussions.
