Vaquero Coffee Company, LLC began as a Retail & Wholesale coffee startup which took 18 months to become operational. The entire branding process and business initiatives were created, built, and deployed by myself in its entirety including website, hiring, training, and marketing as well as operations. We are currently Fort Worth's highest rated coffee shop across all review platforms and as of January 2020 have over 59% year-over-year growth. We have survived the duration of Covid-19 without having to utilize PPP or any other SBA sponsored loans- and as someone coming from a finance background myself, I feel this is one of the ultimate litmus tests for small businesses (especially in Food & Beverage) and its financial leadership.Strengths: Project management, marketing, team management, Excel, Quickbooks, leadership, communicationWeaknesses: Lack of capital, no prior industry knowledge, footprint Opportunities: Amazon Prime, franchising, divest/sell for gainThreats: Market saturation, continued force majeure/government shutdown/riots
