Two days is a pretty short time to make an impact in the business world. All the marketing, decorating,and planning all goes in to these two finite seven hour periods. Creating Motley Brue is only half the story. Now we had to run it.
We all showed up early in the morning, ready to make this coffee shop happen. We set up our baked goods, purchased ice, and started our storefront advertising.
Business started out slow, but customers quickly started streaming in steadily. Working behind the counter was a tiring business, as we had to rush back and forth, calculating change, assembling iced limeade and teas, and packaging pastries. The work was especially difficult for our master barista, Alex James. Alex often had to keep up with multiple orders at once, but he gave the same high level of care and skill to every cup of coffee.
Around noon, Fox 5 news showed up, wanting to cover our unique coffee shop. Having Fox news in our shop seemed to bring more people in and soon we had lines which were out the door! The first and penultimate day of our coffee bar's life went very well. We made over 475 dollars, and each received 6.50 $ in tips to take home. Let's just hope tomorrow goes just as well.
Toys by Teens, LLC was formed by the not-for-profit group Teen Entrepreneur Boot Camp to create a real-working business model to teach students about entrepreneurship. Dr. Howard Wexler, inventor of the game Connect Four, donated a new invention to the project for the students to launch into the marketplace. The eventual revenue earned from sales will be used to offer this free program to new teams of students.
