We break down why paying baristas more money actually makes everyone happier (shocking, we know), the difference between making-coffee labor vs doing-paperwork labor, and how we keep our labor around 25-27% without going broke. Maybe you're dreaming of opening a coffee shop or just curious about what it really costs to make your morning latte. Regardless, grab some popcorn because we're diving into spreadsheets and it's surprisingly entertaining.
