@loz829 Wow! Small world! We definitely get all the seasons here, love it here, but one of my goals is to visit Australia. If you were here today, you would see some snow, there's a chance we may get more than a foot of snow today and tomorrow. I love the snow, just am not a fan of shoveling a 75 foot driveway. :) If you were here, you could enjoy some of it. The hot chocolate or beverage of your choice is on me! :) If we get what we're supposed to, I'll build you a snowman and post it on here. :) Hope your weekend is going well so far!

If you guys are ever in town, hit me up! I'll get the first round! :)

That booty <3

Hermosa y sexy

Buenos días

...um... maybe that all sounds bossy.  Sorry if it comes off that way, but obviously you're going to do how you want to, and you did ask for input.  I hope it's also obvious that I think this is a really intriguing idea.

I'm not a serial entrepreneur so you can take my input with however many grains of salt you want.  Hopefully I'm not understanding wrong but it sounds like you're aiming to bring customers in with free coffee and then leverage the fact you have people showing up to try to sell them other stuff.  My primary concern then would be that you can't evaluate that profit model quickly.  How do you know people want to pay for the other stuff?  Don't people usually buy produce etc. after work but want coffee before work?  Would they even come back after work to buy produce?  I'm not saying call it off because of these issues though.  Just how do you spend less time and money testing the assumption that people will buy other things.  Right now you're looking at paying $600 for a stand and handing out free coffee for a while before you finally find out if there's a profit model.  Is there any way to test that earlier or cheaper?  I mean a sign, a chair and a thermos might at least let you see if people like the coffee without building a stand first.  Then I'd either try to see if you can sell people the coffee (that way if coffee doesn't make people want to buy produce you still have a path to profit) or try to figure out if people will also buy produce.  A few shitty off the top of my head ideas are: saying "I'll be here at [time people get off work] with produce" and see if anypne shows (don't know much about produce but assuming you don't need much special gear to sell it.  Seems like it's just in baskets at farmers markets) or have it out in the morning.  I'd think you could come up with much better tests since this is a lot more in your domain of expertise but I'd be careful about spending time and money giving a free service without even having an idea if people will want the completely different paid service later.  You should always test your profit model as soon as possible so that you can make adjustments before you've put a lot of money down the wrong path.
