In this episode, we dive into the nitty-gritty of running a coffee business by breaking down the software and tools we use daily. From managing our books and financials with QuickBooks, automating workflows with Zapier, and scheduling shifts on 7Shifts, to creative tools like Adobe Suite and Figma, we cover it all. We discuss how these tools help us streamline operations, improve efficiency, and save time across our cafe, roastery, and catering arms. Whether you’re running a single cafe or scaling multiple locations, this guide will help you choose the right tech stack for your needs.
