FAQ
Who is this service for, and what is the project scope?
Independent cafes, cafes within existing venues and beverage relaunches. Each package covers one location and one main beverage station, delivered remotely. Please message me on Fiverr before ordering so we can confirm your scope, inputs and opening calendar.
What does the Opening Assessment include?
Review of your concept, guests, space, equipment and budget; one 60-minute call; written priorities, missing information and next steps; one clarification round. Delivery: 5 business days after complete inputs and the call. No recipes, costing workbook, layout or automatic upgrade credit.
How many drinks and preparations are included?
Opening Plan: up to 12 beverages, including 6 custom drinks, plus 4 supporting preparations. Premium: up to 20, including 10 custom drinks, plus 8 preparations. A distinct item is one beverage; substantial reformulations or separately developed sizes count separately. Preparations are separate.
What are the equipment, supplier and backup limits?
Opening Plan: up to 15 major equipment items, 3 supplier catalogues/quotations in one local market, and 5 priority backup options. Premium: up to 20 items, 5 supplier sources and 10 backups. Both include smallwares, opening stock/minimum levels/reorder points and up to 5 local competitors.
What documents and workstation planning will I receive?
Plan, recipes and annotated station draft in PDF; costing, pricing, stock and POS workbook in XLSX; editable SOPs/checklists. One functional top-view station draft, storage map and workflow plan use your dimensions, equipment details and photos. Tailored deliverables, not construction drawings.
How many calls and revisions are included?

What does the Premium 30-day launch support include?
30 consecutive calendar days from the agreed start, normally soft opening; planned to start within 90 days of core handover. Four weekly written check-ins, replies within 2 business days and up to 5 refinements to delivered recipes/procedures. It is refinement of the agreed work, not a new menu.
How does the final review work, and what if opening is delayed?
Provide sales, waste and operating data within 5 business days after support ends. The written review and 60-minute call follow within 5 further business days; that call is one of the 6 included. Incomplete data limits the review. Agree any delay through Fiverr before the current deadline expires.
How do delivery times and client responsibilities work?
