Drive Thru Coffee Stands Profitability. Our rent is a fraction of what a regular coffee house would be and we only have to be open until 2 pm, which keeps our labor costs down. Depending on your time, you can have 2 or 3 different shifts each day.

Using those numbers you’ve got profits before rent, utilities, equipment lease. Customers need not stay in the shop; When it comes to restocking the bar, look at your retail shelves for bags that are aging out for customer sales (two weeks is a good general rule).
