$5000/month rent for this little tiny spot when the offices that are twice the size in the immediate vicinity are half as much rent.
$60K ought to buy you a nice second hand coffee van you can stand inside, sans the rent, you just may require council permit.
She's got to sell circa 1100 coffees before she makes the rent and that's not including her costs on that $4.50 I pay on the coffee. |
A lot of councils rip it right up cafes for using space out the front for outdoor seating . It must be almost impossible to survive in the good times let alone now. Local government are bottom dwellers in my book.
