Coffee Cart Startup Game Plan

$150 • 30 Minutes

Thinking about starting a coffee cart, truck, or trailer? Start here before you spend money.

Starting a coffee cart sounds simple until you realize how many decisions come before you ever serve your first latte.

What equipment do you need? What should be on the menu? What should you ask your health department? How do you avoid buying the wrong cart, overbuilding your menu, or making your setup harder than it needs to be?

This 30-minute session is designed to give you a high-level starting point so you can move forward with more clarity and less guesswork.

We’ll talk through where you are now, what you’re trying to build, and what I’d prioritize first based on your goals, stage, and concept.

Who this is for

This session is best for you if:

• You want to start a coffee cart, truck, or trailer but don’t know where to begin
• You’re still in the idea/research phase
• You’re overwhelmed by equipment, menu, permits, or setup questions
• You want to know what to think through before investing
• You need a clear first-step game plan, not a full business plan

What you’ll walk away with

By the end of the session, you’ll have:

• A clearer understanding of what to prioritize first
• A high-level roadmap of what to research or decide next
• Menu direction based on your concept
• Early operational considerations to keep in mind
• Common startup mistakes to avoid
• A better sense of whether your next step is health department research, equipment planning, menu development, or deeper consulting

What we can cover

Depending on where you are, we may discuss:

• Coffee cart, truck, or trailer startup basics
• Local health department questions to ask
• Menu size and drink direction
• Equipment categories to research
• Workflow and setup considerations
• Startup cost categories
• Customer experience
• Common mistakes new mobile coffee founders make

How it works

1. Choose your session time and complete checkout.
2. You’ll receive a confirmation email with your booked time slot. I will reach out to you personally after that with a short questionnaire for you to fill out ahead of our session.
3. Fill out the questionnaire before your session so I can understand where you are in the process.
4. We’ll meet for 30 minutes and focus on your biggest startup questions.
5. You’ll leave with clearer next steps.

Please note that this is a live strategy session - not a done-for-you service. While we'll cover as much as possible during our time together, implementation work, ongoing consulting, or custom projects are quoted separately.

I can't wait to hear your story and help you take the next step!
