I've walked Laura to school in the morning, then told her I wouldn't be able to pick her up at 4, and she seemed ok with that and I was able to work a straight 14hr day with just a small lunch break at the shop downtown and drinking some of my product to stay awake. Just don't tell Laura that you'll pick her up at 4 and then don't. She does not like that.

To make the $1000 by week's end, you need to be doing something like about $170-$200 per day. To do this you need to be a lean, mean, coffee serving machine for the entire week. Assuming you have everything up and running by Tuesday morning, this means you will need to ratchet up your prices up towards the $4 mark pretty quickly and be selling at least 50 drinks a day. Be nice to your customers (time allowing), and offer an assortment of goods. Eddie has a book of drink recipes in his bookstore that will give you some good info.

Also, to maximize the number of customers you're able to serve in a given day, price the more time consuming drinks like the latte higher so that customers prefer the quicker drinks like coffee, soda, etc. Also, Coffee (only use Grade A btw) seems to be able to sold for a pretty high price before it is considered too expensive.
