A simple plan to increase profit
Finding out how I was losing money in my café was eye-opening. The fixes were so simple and quick to action
Who knew increasing profits in my café business was right in front of me the whole time? Carlton Scott headed straight to the problem with solutions.
You're working hard, the counter is busy in season... but the numbers don't feel right.
Running a café in Jedburgh usually looks like this:
You're not failing. You're running a seasonal café without a clear profit system.

Let your businessFrom stuck to profitability. In 30 days
Most small business owners aren't failing, they're stuck. Stuck in the day-to-day, stuck in the same margins, stuck wondering why a busy business isn't paying them what it should.
We remove the BS and focus on what is going to drive results: implementing real changes. You’re 30 days away from becoming profitable.
By building the year around the quiet months, not the busy ones. Jedburgh's Abbey and Mary Queen of Scots' House run a roughly April to October season, so pricing, rotas and waste all need a winter setting as well as a summer one. That's exactly what the Profit Clarity Framework™ builds: a café that pays you in February, not just July.
Yes, if the numbers are set up properly. Jedburgh gets a steady stream of visitors as the first stop over the border on the A68, and the town's small café scene means less competition than most tourist towns. The margin between thriving and struggling is rarely footfall. It's pricing, waste and rotas, and those can be fixed.
Start with business rates: Scotland's Small Business Bonus Scheme gives 100% relief on premises with a rateable value up to £12,000, which covers many Jedburgh cafés, with tapered relief above that. Then look inside the business. Most cafés we see are losing more to pricing and waste than rates ever cost them.
£1,495 + VAT, fixed. That covers the full 30-day diagnose-and-fix process on your Jedburgh café: pricing, waste, rotas, fees and cash flow, with the changes implemented rather than left in a report. Most clients who commit to it and follow our recommendations see a full return on the fee within 90 days.
Yes, that's what it's built for. You stay behind the counter through the season; we work around service. The onboarding call takes about an hour, gathering your paperwork takes another, and after that most of the effort is ours. A few hours a week from you, mostly at the start.
Honesty and your numbers. Normally that's six months of business bank statements, taking in both the season and the quiet months, plus your menu and supplier costs and a one-hour onboarding call. From there we diagnose where your café is losing profit and start fixing it with you.
Staff rotas: we saved so much overspend on staffing costs, Carlton Scott knew exactly how to maximise this.
When Carlton Scott said we needed to investigate the waste cost, I didn’t have a clue what they meant. Saved me a small fortune!
