Menu pricing is one of the most underestimated aspects of restaurant management. If your customers don’t think the prices on your menu are reasonable, how great your concept or your food is won’t matter much.

Furthermore, while it is natural to want your prices to be on the higher end, being overly aggressive with your pricing structure can drive customers away.

In many coffee-producing countries around the world, there are a number of ways in which farms are operated and managed. Understandably, this has a significant impact on how coffee is processed and sold, as well as the prices that farmers receive. Two of the most widespread coffee farming models are estates and co-operatives. The former is simply a coffee farm (usually a large one) which generally processes and sells its coffee alone.
