Brooklyn Coffee Shop Bookkeeping: Margins, Sales Tax & Tips

Brooklyn's Booming Café Scene

Brooklyn now has more independent coffee shops per capita than any other US borough. Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Park Slope, Bed-Stuy, and Bushwick lead the wave — and each one needs sharp bookkeeping to survive 8.875% NYC sales tax, rising rent, and tip-reporting rules.
