Captain Sugar! - Tea, Coffee and Cereals

Our focus will be the teas and cereals served in bowls, with the possibility of mixing brands, add toppings of various flavors and the most varied extras such as chocolate nuggets, gums, nuts, etc.

The tea room will take place in the downtown of Setúbal, taking advantage of the moment of development of the city and the consequent increase of the tourism. You will have on one hand the variety of teas, both hot and cold, and on the other the variety of cereals. Initially meals will be served in bowls and later the idea will be to include them also in the making of other products, such as ice cream, cakes, biscuits, sweets, etc. This is an international concept of coffee that serves products exclusively based on cereals, and that in Portugal there is only one in Lisbon. The cereals are chosen by the clients, being able to be the mixture of several brands and the choice of the own milk: of cow, soybean, oats, rice. There will be other ingredients that can be added, such as nuts, chocolates, gums, among others, and then toppings.

We will also have cakes, homemade cookies and salads, soups and small meals that will be made on the spot (eg toasts, fries with accompaniments, fish and chips, and salads). As for liquors and other regional products, will be obtained through other small traders or producers of the region.

There will also be a take-away concept with coffees, gallons, mokkas, etc. that the customer can take instead of consuming in the establishment. Apart from these drinks, it is intended to create small gift baskets and picnic baskets already crafted for the customer to carry.

In addition to being a space for the consumption of products, the conception of this project includes the concept of leisure space, since alternative days would be thought referring to a specific theme, literary or musical or cinematographic style, as well as painting workshops , origami, days of exchange of collectible articles.

The idea behind our concept is to create a unique space in Setúbal with a very great focus on promoting the history of the region through typical gastronomic articles but also to offer a different meal that is not found in any other establishment.

The amount we want is low bottom to start a business from scratch even taking into account that it is an offer that does not exist in Setúbal. However the novelty of the offer is present as well as risk and we take this into consideration. This opportunity for us would be something that would enable us to face the future in a different way, and it would be this feeling and our willpower that would make us struggle every day to overcome this challenge, and to achieve the result Of this our adventure has everything to succeed!

Comida, só coisas boas!

Budget and due dates

We have a budget approved by CASES demonstrating the viability of the project cover the costs, however, before we try to ask for a loan through a bank we decided to try this route.

All the value they give us will give a voucher of equal value to spend in the establishment, and all people who help us, either € 1 or € 100 will have the name written on the wall on a thank you card.

In terms of deadlines we have nothing established, we have been doing things calmly and with time to make sure that the concept has everything to go right in terms of budget basically the amount we are asking for is enough for the decor , Lace, stock and licenses, because we found a space that has all the equipment we need.
