Tips for Opening a Cafe
How Do I Get Started?
1-Decide on the type of your cafe: You should plan the concept of the cafe you intend to open. You should decide whether it will be a place where friends will spend time together, a snack place for the morning, a place where only men will hang out and watch the match. Examples can of course be multiplied. The first thing you need to decide.
2-Imagine yourself as a customer: As a customer, visualize yourself coming to this cafe. What would you like to eat and drink? How do you sit at the tables and what do you need? Imagining these will make it easier for you to have ideas.
3- Decide on the size: Consider how many people you can serve at the same time. For this, the human potential of the city you are in is also very important. Do not forget that: people will look at how your cafe looks and how it serves, rather than how big it is.
4-Do not hesitate to get help: Be sure to consult the people around you who have previous experience in this job. Keep in mind that the small details you will learn from them can greatly affect your success.
5-Determine a location: The location of your cafe is one of the most important criteria for your success. Determining a location according to the type of cafe will make it easier for you to reach your target audience. For example, if you are thinking of opening a cafe for students, it would be a good idea to open your cafe near the school and classroom.
