Cold brew has quickly moved from a seasonal trend to a permanent menu item in cafés around the world. But while many cafés offer cold brew, far fewer fully understand the economics behind it — from production costs to pricing strategy and equipment payback.
In this live session, we’ll break down the real numbers behind successful cold brew programs. You’ll learn how cafés calculate costs, price for healthy margins, and scale production without adding unnecessary complexity. Using real examples from cafés already running profitable cold brew operations, we’ll also explore how equipment choices can impact efficiency, output, and return on investment.
Our panel of experts have years of experience in the cold beverage industry. In our webinar, you’ll hear from:
Head of Sales & Co-Owner, 2017 Polish Brewers Cup Champion
