Sean Scott owns Subculture Coffee, with locations in West Palm Beach and Delray Beach in Florida. Scott recently spoke about everything from the trust and relationships formed between coffee buyers and the farmers they source their beans from, to the risks of bad weather harming coffee bean crops, to the trial and error of the craft of roasting great coffee, to the importance of having six or more months of working capital when you open your doors, to how everything takes longer than you plan and costs more than you budgeted when you are starting your first location. This is a very wide-ranging conversation, and Scott offers tons of wisdom and advice for anybody interested not just in coffee, but in the mentality it takes to succeed in the restaurant business.
