What ships this week.

  • Three accounts (Roasters Co-op, Bean Street, Origin Cafe) are negotiating renewal. Need updated tiered pricing approved by Sarah before Wednesday call.

    Medium↻ Weekly

7-30 Day To-Do's

0/9

Coming up. Not this week.

  • Three things to test: punch card vs. app, $1 off vs free drink, monthly vs cumulative.

    High

  • 40 lbs/week starting October. Margin ~38%. Sarah to draft proposal.

    High

  • First-90-day plan for cafe staff: training, certifications, mentorship pairing.

    Medium

  • Espresso machines, grinders, water filters. Build a single sheet with serial numbers + last-service dates + recommended interval.

    Medium

  • Buy $50 get $10. Launch day before Black Friday. Lisa owns the comms, Mike preps the registers.

    Low

  • Everyone takes the 16-question assessment by Oct 15. Compare against Q3.

    High↻ Quarterly

  • Tied to the Director of Wholesale hire. Lisa to help with the employer brand language.

    Medium

  • ADP is costing us $410/mo. Gusto quote is $185/mo. Migration window in the slow week.

    Medium

Challenges & Opportunities

0/9

The 30-minute segment.

  • Average ticket time creeping from 4m to 7m. Mike thinks layout + understaffing. Options: rearrange bar, hire a third barista for 7-10am, both.

    Urgent

  • Lisa hypothesis: shipping delays in August. Need to confirm with three customer interviews this week before deciding on retention spend.

    High

  • Currently 280 lbs/week on the 12kg Probat. Wholesale projections show 360 lbs/week by Q1. Decision: add a second roaster ($85k) or outsource overflow ($1.20/lb premium).

    High

  • She's capped. Either we hire (~$55k entry) or contract for the next 6 months ($3-4k/mo).

    Medium

  • Two accounts paid 40+ days late in September. We invoice by hand from a spreadsheet. Need either Stripe Invoicing or QuickBooks workflow.

    Medium

  • Mostly dairy. Two possible causes: portioning inconsistency, or over-prepping the morning rush bar setup.

    High

  • Tied to the Director hire. Until then, we need a triage rule: which accounts Sarah personally closes vs. which Mike or the new rep handles.

    Urgent

  • No clear cause. Lisa to run a sender-reputation check + A/B subject lines next two sends.

    Low

  • They have a more interesting decaf SKU. Either source a better Swiss-Water decaf or position ours differently.

    Medium

Quarterly Opportunities

0/8

Bigger plays. Not this week.

  • Pre-LOI conversation with the landlord. 1,800 sqft, $4.50/sqft, 5-year term. Need to model break-even by quarter.

    High

  • Premium tier at $32/mo for limited single-origins. Lisa to draft brand positioning + landing page.

    High

  • Frees Sarah from key-account selling. Estimate $90-110k base + variable. Probably Q1.

    High

  • February. Two purposes: secure 2026 contract direct, and storytelling content for DTC.

    Medium

  • Aligns with the brand. Lisa estimates 8-10 weeks of work split across the team.

    Low

  • Corporate events, weddings, conferences. Two-person cart, $1,200 day rate. Test 3 events this quarter.

    Medium

  • Retention angle and a values one. Sarah to model 2-5% of profit shared across hourly staff.

    Medium

  • Three-bag set, $48 retail. Co-marketing with a local bakery for the gifting season.

    Low
