Monday Gone - Gaining New Customers And A New Spot

 Coffee

Monday has come and gone - 6 cups sold, 5 new customers and one comeback. Good signs. Pancake man didn't show up today, this is strange as he is always there, like everyday besides Sunday. What can you say the man loves making them pancakes ;)


We were soul alone on the strip and it kinda felt weird, almost scary.  A tazer is now on the priority list in case, you know, someone tries to jack our stash when we are alone on the strip.  Hoping the pancake man will be back tomorrow, I need my breakfast :)

I will service your coffee needs

Happy customers at the top and me serving some more on the left. Thank you for the support :) good times. These pics are a bit fuzzy - using a blackberry curve o.O --- My camera got broken _*sadface....

Trailer---Shiny

So as you can see we have changed the way we position the trailer, it's at more of an angle and closer to the Pancake man, we will post more pics so that you can see the full effect.

It creates a more sociable vibe because the people that come and buy pancakes can glance right over into our trailer. It is also better because it is further away from the road and less noisy.

Michelle and trailer

Before we were kind of cut off and all people could see was our backdoor, not good for business I say.

Notice the sign, it says ----FILTER COFFEE / HOT CHOCOLATE --- straight forward and simple. We think it has been working for us, gaining new customers everyday.

Working stuff out

The new spot is also very shaded which will help heaps on those hot day's. Cant wait for summer to kick in so that we can try selling Ice cold Juice, Lemonade and Water.

K - that's it for the post, hope to see some of you at Morningbru sometime soon.

Productive Weekend And A New Week Ahead

Eagerly looking forward to this coming week to see how many cups we get sold on the strip. Last week stands at 29 cups sold, let's see if we can better that in the next couple of day's.  

Michelle and I had a totally productive weekend preparing for Organik. Stretch tent is fixed and gas appliances are ready for work. Oh yeah.

I'm sipping on some of our coffee right now, it inspired me to post something on the blog. Well done to the Springboks for their victory today. I trust you all enjoyed the match. :)

First Week Done - Organik In The Works

Sold a total of 29 cups of liquid heaven this week on the strip, meaning we are averaging 5.8 cups a day at the moment. It has been an interesting and productive couple of day's and we are looking forward to Monday so that we can do it all over again.

Hopefully cigarettes will be on the menu in the near future, still trying to get wholesale prices so that we can offer packs cheap! cheap! We want feet at our stall, what better way to get it than with a highly addictive drug  o.O

Going to be a hectic week as we are preparing for Organik (Outdoor Trance Party) - We have some yummy treats for all the happy stompers :) Super awesome Hot Chocolate (with marshmallows), strong Filter Coffee, sweet treats and a chill out area under our stretch tent. If you going to be at Organik I hope you drop by and come say hi.

Looking forward guys, have a safe and groovy weekend.

Getting Into The Swing Of Things And Hello Winter

Welcome back winter :) - weather served us well today. With the cold comes the need for hot drinks, sold twelve cups today and we are hoping to better it tomorrow. Feels great to have the permit and to be legal on the strip, where are the coppers now?

Morningbru bounced back after two days of only two cups a day :( --- rocking some new signage outside the trailer that are letting people know what we are doing on the side of the road.

We are not looking half bad for our fourth day back on the strip. Thank you all for the support and positive feedback.

New menu items to look forward to in the coming weeks

• Cigarettes (not the healthiest option but hey, people want em!)
• Mineral water (Ice Cold for those hot days)
• Juice (various flavors)
• Thinking of fresh lemonade, once we gather a following.

Slowly we are getting back into a steady routine and I am sooooo happy, damn it feels good to get up early, squeezing the most out of the day. 

I hope all of you are having a great week so far and if you aren't, well, come have a cup of coffee we are always smiling even when the sales aren't there. Amandel Rylaan Next to the pancake man (Eddie) DO IT!!!

Starting From Scratch.....

This morning was truly like a blast from the past, getting up nice and early brewing some coffee and heading out to the strip. We arrived just after seven with the hopes of selling at least two cups of coffee goodness for our first day back. We realized that we are basically starting from scratch here and it will take time before we can reach the numbers we want.

Today we sold six cups in total and we are totally happy with that. Tomorrow will be even better, well, I hope it will, one guy told us that he was wondering where we went, another pulled out of heavy traffic and chilled with his coffee until the traffic had cleared up. If you ask me that guy was smart, traffic was heavy this morning.

The large cups are working out for us, only one person actually bought a small coffee. The large cup looks impressive and totally kicks the smaller cups ass. If I wanted a cup of coffee I would take the large, no doubt. Morningbru is set to take off and we are excited about so many things at the moment.

I am aching to get a espresso machine so that we can start making all the good stuff. Of course we do need a generator first before we can even think of espresso and that sort of thing, in time I am sure we will get there. Loyalty cards are in the works, so soon you will be able to buy five coffees and get your sixth one free. Once we reach twenty to thirty cups a day we will launch the loyalty card special.

We are back and we are ready to sell some coffee :)

One More Day.....

Tomorrow at 11 O'clock we will be going to see Shirley Alexander, hopefully all our things are in order and we can get our permit on the spot. Very excited, if all goes well we will be back on the strip this coming Monday. A post will be up after our meeting, we might even sneak in a few pics of the process.

 Permit happy face!

So much are in the works for Morningbru and we are feeling uber positive about the business. If you happen to be in the area please come by and support us by buying a fresh cuppa, we make good coffee ;)

Tragedy !

It's tragic that I haven't been posting this week --- apologies :) This week has been interesting to say the least, we started out on Monday and sold only two cups -- we were bleak about that but I suppose any business has it's slow days. Tuesday came along and we flogged five cups in total, hoooraah. Then on Wednesday something amazing happened, we sold twelve cups!! Woohoo Today we sold thirteen !! So yeah it's looking good and people are digging it. Thanks for all the support guys we really appreciate it.

The cops showed up today to ask for our licence and well, we kind of don't have one yet so we had to leave:( As soon as we left though I managed to make a quick stop at the municipal offices to sort out the pending vendors licence that I had applied for and if all goes well we should be totally legal tomorrow morning. 

Michelle and I suspect that the pancake guy called the coppers because we were the only vendors that got asked for our permits. Anyways I'm not gonna point fingers but I'm also not gonna trust the pancake guy anymore either. Karma will sort it all out for us :)

It has been a great week so far and we are starting to see progress, hopefully we will reach our twenty cup goal before the end of next week. If it carries on like this I'm sure we will.

Hope all you guys are having an exciting week so far :) Enjoy the rest of your day. The morningbru team will be going out for all you can eat Chinese tonight (I wonder if I will be able to finish a whole one this time) om nom nom!
