BUON CAFFE


I Mi I

!    >1! I


The coffee shop Buon Caffe opened 16 new outlets in the first quarter, and recorded a sales increase of 5.6%. According to Amnando Cherici, chief executive, the growth in revenue has been enough to speed up the company s expansion programme. They will now have over 20 Stores by next February.

Buon Caffś started in 1992 with a smali coffee shop in West London. It soon became famous for its Italian coffee and high quality food. Part of its secret was the use of Italian bread and quality fresh ingredients for every sandwich but their success was also thanks to their investment in top quality equipment to produce the coffee. Staff were trained in how to use a grinder and an espresso machinę correctly. The shop also provtded customers with forms so that they could give feedback on the Buon Caffe experience. The result was rapid growth and 14 morę Buon Caffe shops were opened in the next 10 years. It now takes just three months for a new Buon Caffe shop to start making a profit.

There is evidence to suggest that in London the coffee shop is starting to take over from the pub as a place where people meet for social or business purposes. Market research carried out on a group of 18-to 24-year-olds found that 48% of them went to the coffee shop for their lunch break and over 50% preferred it as a place to meet clients. If so. there is probably plenty of room for Buon Caffe to grow further.
