Fail

Who are the best failures

While there is no exact annual number for new coffee ventures that fail, studies indicate high failure rates: some sources report that around 75% of new coffee shops fail within the first year, while others suggest a failure rate of over 50% within five years. This is higher than general small business averages due to factors like intense competition and challenges with financial management, operational efficiency, and customer retention. [1, 2, 3, 4]  
First-year failure 

• Estimates suggest 75% of new coffee shops fail within the first year. 
• Other data points estimate the first-year failure rate is closer to 56%. 
• This is significantly higher than the general small business failure rate, which is about 20% in the first year. [2, 3, 4, 5]  

Five-year failure 

• It is estimated that roughly 50% of new coffee shops fail within the first five years. 
• Some surveys of coffee shop owners believe that a figure as high as 56% to 73% will fail within five years. 
• Again, this is higher than the general small business failure rate, which is around 50% after five years. [1, 2, 5, 6]  

Reasons for failure 

• Competition: High saturation in the market. 
• Financial management: Poor cash flow, under-capitalization, and mismanaging costs. 
• Operational efficiency: Lack of consistent management and oversight. 
• Location: Choosing a location without sufficient research. 
• Customer retention: Failing to build a loyal customer base. 
• Lack of unique selling proposition: Not having a clear niche or unique offering. [1, 2, 5, 7, 8]

Facebook

The ability to share pages has been removed or moved for many users, often due to changes in the Facebook platform's design, particularly on desktop and older app versions. While the direct "Share to Page" option may be gone, a common workaround is to copy the post's URL, paste it into a new post on the other page, and wait for the preview image to load before deleting the URL. Some features, like sharing a post to another page you manage, are still available on newer mobile apps or specific business tools, and require certain permissions. [1, 2, 3, 4]  
Workaround for sharing posts 

• Go to the original post and click the date or time to get a direct URL for the post. 
• Copy the URL from your browser. 
• Go to the page you want to share the post to and start a new post. 
• Paste the URL into the new post and wait for the image preview to load. 
• Delete the URL from the text box, as the preview will remain. 
• Write your own text and then share the post. [1, 3]  

Other potential reasons and solutions 

• Platform changes: Facebook has updated its interface, and the "Share to Page" option has been removed from the desktop site for many users. 
• App version: The feature may still be available on newer versions of the mobile app, such as the Lite app. 
• Permissions: If you are trying to share as a business, ensure you have the correct permissions in Meta Business Suite to manage and publish content for the pages involved. 
• Privacy settings: Some pages have settings that restrict sharing, although this is more common for personal profiles and private groups than for pages you own and manage. 
• Technical issues: There could be a temporary issue with Facebook's service, and the ability to share may return later. You can try checking for updates to the Facebook app or logging out and back in. [1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
