Please meet with cued’s proud bosses, will and coral. We talked about the process of will and coral growing from a single store to a real cheese empire. Their story is really moving. Please read how cured started, how to successfully start online sales through woocommerce and square, and how to operate a busy business like them. From the Spanish bicycle yard to the community meat Market: before starting the birth process of cued, will and coral lived in Girona, Spain, where will accumulated experience as a competitive cyclist. Living overseas, they fell in love with a small local market full of high-grade meat and cheese.
Back in Colorado, the two considered taking the concept of community market as the center to start business. Will said they wanted to be at Boulder’s home, \
Let’s start cured and jump off the cliff together. Hope is our collective enthusiasm for food and drink and anti business friendly mind, and we can cooperate in any case at that time. Duo opened the first cued store on the east side of Pearl Street in Boulder in 2011 and officially signed the contract. \
When the first holiday season came (cured’s busiest time of the year), the team was exhausted. But they also know they have great power. Male at the curred location at the east end of Pearl Street, squitty and wine are available in all cases. The cured team grew very fast there. At present, 24 employees allocate time between store operation, order processing, packaging and distribution. As I mentioned, holidays are the busiest for the team, so will said that it is not uncommon to find 4-5 employees who focus on the distribution process in such a late few months.
This growth provides some amazing opportunities for cured. This includes the second location of cured West, which opened on 10th Street at the end of 2015. On the opening day of 2015, cuard West, long live for new growth and lovely little helper. Will and coral may be surprised by the explosive popularity of cured
But it’s easy to know why their career is so popular. Ask them why they do their work and burst into enthusiasm. There’s nothing better than introducing someone to your favorite new cheese, salami, red wine, and watching the lights light up when they try. Our business is still small and lucky to cultivate the amazing friendship that began with interaction in the store.
In order to create happiness between customers and food or drink, the dedication of the whole cured team is obvious from the moment they step into any store. It also shines on the cured website at another big stage of their journey. Our mood today is really #chey! At 1:59 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) on February 7, 2017, the post shared by cured (@ curedboulder) combined the leap of online sales with woommerce. Cured temporarily used PayPal account and auxiliary settlement page to conduct experiments on online sales of some goods, but will’s report on the solution was \

Male cured’s online store operates only a portion of the inventory available at two physical locations. Will said that due to its small size and insufficient resources, it was not possible to add all products sold, but it was planned to continue to expand inventory over time. In the short term, cured’s online department is a good place to choose prefabricated gift baskets, premium meat, cheese or other happy gifts. Will explained as follows: We focus on our favorite collections or gift baskets. Our bundles are a proposed combination of things that are considered good gifts, or provide a way to store part of the pantry at a time.
In fact, it was a reasonable decision. Customers who shop online cannot get professional face-to-face guidance from employees. If they grasp the assembled things and prepare to go to a party or party, the purchase barrier will be reduced. Service in activity. Through online sales, gift baskets and preselected bags can be sent overseas to further expand cured’s revenue. Finally, will talked about how to improve the store and gave some praise. To be honest, we’re still playing with the best things. [learn] how to add suggested additional products, how to recommend free items, etc. WordPress and woocommerce provide amazing plug-ins and extensions, and it’s exciting to see the continuous emergence of plug-ins suitable for us.
In order to facilitate payment and inventory sharing, everything is combined with square. About a year after starting the cured store online, will and coral began to expand square for woommerce (newly launched at that time). Until then, they have been using square POS in actual stores, satisfied with simple interface and intuitive, customer-friendly features.
All the counting and payment processing of cured can be combined in one system, which sounds very attractive, so the team purchased the extension and replaced the payment processor previously used online. Will said. Integrating the two is a mild choice. It’s great that all of this runs through a processor and back-end hub. The square extension allows the team to select items that have been set up for sale from a physical location and use them in woocommerce. Inventory and sales are tracked within square, so there is no risk of selling unavailable goods online (or one of the two stores). Will and coral can view the sales of all products in a single location. Key to success: considering the parts that customers will never see, but only the team’s love for food and firm understanding of inventory management, cured is not the only reason for its success. Will and coral spoke highly of most of the details of their success, especially the activities that customers had never seen. We asked them to explain this in more detail. What they told us is as follows: [you should think about] all parts of the back end running. There are parts that customers can never see and understand. How to pack safely and take out items quickly and easily? Or, when the box arrives at the door, what is the way to make it look like a gift from the moment you see it? Will and coral want customers to see wine. This is not the delivery process of delivering the ordered products without broken bottles or on time. By default – pay attention to small things and don’t leave a blank on the implementation that the customer may notice. If you try to create a smooth experience with orders displayed on time, neatly packed and composed of the right varieties, no one will be curious except when you plan to come. Please go back and visit next time. Will’s suggestion to the new business owner is to carefully consider distribution, especially the cost. \
