To all of my lovely loyal customers, on the 1st of February this year I opened Cafe West I dreamt of always having my own cafe, Ash worked so hard to do it all up for me, late nights and early mornings, during this time I have tried so so so hard to get it up and running and to make a profit, I know you lose in the year BUT am not seeing it get any better, a couple months in I got another job doing Homecare just so I could make a wage for our family home whilst also doing shifts in a&e. I have had 2 days off since February working every single day long hours late nights and early mornings and I just can not see any improvement in takings, I absolutely love serving all of you and meeting new people and their doggies but I can not carry on like this I am not sleeping with stress, I am not seeing my family, I am running myself down so much my mental health is at rock bottom,
just for example my electricity is 620 a month that's not including
Rent 500 a month
Stock 400 average
Broadband 69
Accountant fee's 60
Wages over 600 each month
Water 40
The bills are endless.
I am worried sick about Christmas this year and I have never struggled luckily
So am very sorry to announce but I have shut cafe west I tried and unfortunately failed, I am not ashamed as I always wanted to have my own business I just guess with the cost of living now it's not manageable am upset but happy I get to see my family and friends more as life is too short to miss out of quality time😊
P.s if there is a friend or family member you know who visits and doesn't have social media please let them know
Everything is for sale in the cafe if anyone is interested feel free to WhatsApp me 07867653121
Thankyou for reading
Love from West ###x
