Running a Cafe Has Never Been Tougher – But You Don’t Have to Go It Alone

The cafe industry is facing unprecedented challenges.

Rising costs, decreasing consumer spending, and relentless competition are pushing many café owners to the brink. 

In fact, 9.1% of hospitality businesses are forecast to close in the next 12 months [ABC News]. 

These closures aren’t just numbers—they represent the hard work, dreams, and futures of people just like you. And yet, without the right strategies in place, the odds are stacked against them - against YOU. 

Imagine the heartbreak of telling your family, friends, and loyal customers that the doors are closing, that all the late nights, early mornings, and sacrifices weren’t enough. It’s a reality no cafe owner wants to face. We don't want this for you, for anyone. 

The good news? A more strategic approach can help your cafe thrive, even in today’s climate.

At Old Quarter Coffee Merchants, we know that simply working harder or longer isn’t enough. It can help for sure, but there is only so much you can do in a day.

You need a different strategic approach, one that works for these unprecedented times.

You need the right strategies and systems in place to make the most of your efforts.

Do any of these challenges impact your business right now?

• Are your revenues stagnant or even shrinking despite your best efforts?
• Are rising costs shrinking your profit margins?
• Are you struggling to bring new customers through the door?

If you nodded yes to any of these questions, you’re not alone. 

These are common challenges that cafe owners are facing right now—and challenges that we can help you tackle with coaching. 

Why Old Quarter?

We’re more than just coffee roasters—we’re cafe operators and trusted partners who’ve built thriving businesses and helped others do the same.

With three successful venues of our own (and a fourth on the way), we’ve been through the highs and lows of running a cafe. 

We’ve also partnered with the best cafes and legendary owners across Australia through our wholesale program—and we’ve never lost a single wholesale partner to a competitor.

This isn’t about giving you a generic lecture on business—it’s about working with you, listening to your needs, and helping you find solutions tailored to your unique challenges. 

Whether you need help driving more customers to your cafe, increasing your revenue and profit margins, managing costs, managing people, creating better systems to make running your business easier (and take less of your time) or creating a roadmap for the next 12 months (and beyond), our 1-Hour Cafe Business Coaching Session is here to help.
