Starting a coffee shop can be expensive, buying an espresso machine is a huge expense for your business, before you have sold a single cup of coffee – renting is a great way to avoid this large start-up cost.
Equally, in this situation, as a new business, you will not know if the coffee machine you chose will be suitable for the quantity of coffee you sell. What happens if you pay thousands for a 1 group machine and it’s not up to the job – or pay even more for a 3 group only to realize you have overestimated sales. – Hiring gives you the flexibility to change your machine to suit your business needs.
