Where to start

Which services do you need?

Most cafés need a few services together. These are the usual combinations, by where you are today.

  1. 01

    Idea, no site yet

    Check the numbers and the concept before you sign anything.

  2. 02

    Site found, fit-out next

    Lock the bar layout, the machine and the beans before the contractor starts.

  3. 03

    Opening in weeks

    Recipes, costing and a trained team ready for the soft opening.

  4. 04

    Already open

    An audit, then the fixes that raise quality and margin fastest.

  5. 05

    Roasting your own

    From green coffee to a roast profile you can repeat every batch.

What you walk away with

FAQ

Questions about the services

Still unsure? Ask Ahmed on WhatsApp.

  • Yes. Every service can be booked on its own, and many clients start with one, such as barista training or a menu and costing review, then add more once they have seen the results.

  • Fees depend on the scope, the size of the café and the number of on-site days. After the discovery call you receive a written proposal with the scope and the fee before any work starts.

  • Yes. The same services scale to several outlets: a standard bar layout, one equipment specification, shared recipes and a training plan that new branches can follow.

  • Ahmed plans the coffee bar, workflow and utilities and works alongside your interior designer or contractor. The decorative interior stays with your designer; the bar has to work first.

  • Lahore on site any week, and Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, Sialkot and other cities through planned visits with remote support in between.
