CaffeOS Build · Beta coming soon

Before you sign the lease, check the numbers add up.

A planner for your specialty coffee shop, with real numbers before you spend a cent. Investment, equipment, premises, fit-out, coffee and how long it takes to earn back what you put in.

If you're about to open a café, this is your moment.

Before you sign anything, CaffeOS Build shows you how much you need, where it goes and the month you earn it back.

The questions that keep you up at night, answered in euros.

  1. How much does it cost to open?

    Your full startup investment, with nothing left out.

  2. Which machine and which grinder?

    Compare equipment by budget and volume.

  3. How much will the premises cost?

    Rent, deposit, key money and the costs people usually overlook.

  4. How much will the fit-out cost?

    Realistic ranges, so there are no surprises halfway through.

  5. How much does each coffee cost me?

    A costing for every drink, so you can price with confidence.

  6. When will I earn my investment back?

    Break-even point and a first-year forecast.

Where you are now

If any of this sounds familiar, keep reading.

  • You have a clear idea, but don't know where to start or in what order.
  • You don't know how much you really need to invest or what it will cost to run each month.
  • You're not sure what equipment you need or which suppliers you can trust.
  • You've visited cafés that inspire you, but can't turn that into a real business plan.

Who's behind it

Oscar Penalva

I'm Oscar. I've spent six years in specialty coffee as a barista, roaster, account manager and in operations. I've seen up close which cafés opened with clear numbers and which didn't. CaffeOS Build is the tool I wish I could have given everyone who asked me what it costs to open a café.

Waitlist

Sign up for the beta.

The CaffeOS Build beta is coming soon, and we're looking for people who are genuinely preparing to open. If you're a good fit, you'll get an invite to try it and share what's missing.

Where is your café right now?
What stage are you at?

If you don't use one, write "none".

What people usually ask before opening.

Got another question? Write to hello@caffeos.com.

When is the beta coming?

Very soon. Join the waitlist and you'll get an email as soon as it's ready.

What if I haven't found premises yet?

That's fine. Lots of people start while they're still looking. Build helps you see which premises you can afford before you sign anything.

Does it work if I'm opening outside Spain?

Yes. CaffeOS starts in Spain and the rest of Europe, and cost ranges (rent, fit-out, equipment) will be adjusted for each country over time.

Is this a course or consultancy?

No. It's software: you enter your project's data and see your numbers. No recorded videos, no generic templates.

What happens to my data?

It's only used to contact you about the beta. It isn't shared with brands or suppliers.
