Coffee with April Podcast Episode 14: A conversation about the challanges that comes with starting a Coffee Business with Francois Lafontaine founder of Café Capitale in Brussels

Francois Lafontaine, owner, and founder of Café Capital

Introduction:

We have known Francois for many years now, and according to us, Café Capital has been the brightest shining start in terms of Coffee Quality in Belgium ever since.

This conversation came out of a three-day visit to Brussel which resulted in a Coffee Tour around Belgium (Antwerpen, Gent & Brussel).

We met up with Francois is his newly opened Roastery just outside of the city center, and had a conversation about his decision to scale down his Coffee Business to fewer Coffee Shop in order to focus on what really matters for him, Coffee Quality.

It is an inspiring story and something we can all learn from. We hope you enjoy this Episode.

In this Episode, we talk about:

- How it is to run a Coffee Business

- Why he decided to scale down the size of his business, closing 50% of his coffee shops

- How it was to transition from running coffee shops to also roasting

- Challenges and opportunities that come with starting your own company

- Coffee Roasting

- Coffee Education

- Staff Challenges in a Coffee Shop

- The future of coffee

도널드 트럼프 미국 대통령이 차기 연방준비제도(Fed·연준) 의장 후보로 지명한
케빈 워시 전 연준 이사가 인공지능(AI) 생산성 붐을 근거로 기준금리 인하
여력이 생길 것이라고 주장하고 있지만, 미국 경제학계의 평가는 냉담한 것으로 나타났다.

지난해 하반기 중 국내 상장사 주식을 처분한 대주주는 오는 3월 3일까지
양도소득세를 자진 신고하고 납부 절차를 마쳐야 한다. 본인이 대주주 요건에
부합하는지 인지하지 못해 기한 내 신고를 누락할 경우 납부세액의 20%에 달하는
무신고 가산세가 부과될 수 있어 각별한 유의가 요구된다.

’1000만원’이 공제액이 아니라 일종의 ‘과세 문턱’이라는 점에 유의해야 한다.
자녀가 얻는 이익이 1000만원을 넘는 순간 이자 이익 전체에 대해 증여세가 과세된다.
따라서 이자 이익이 1000만원 이하가 되도록 최소한 연 2.7% 이상의 이자를 실제로
상환하도록 한다면 문제가 발생하지 않는다.
