Likely next moves
Our read of what comes next — analysis, not reported by the source.
- Seek anchor wholesale accounts to support the roasting upgrade before committing to the steepest phase of café expansion.
- Use the next café openings to standardize store formats, staffing and operating economics for replication.
- Negotiate a selective hotel-franchise pilot with clear supply, training and quality-control obligations.
- Consider equipment financing or working-capital facilities if wholesale receivables grow faster than internally generated cash.
