Coffee shop Business

COFFEE SHOP


Simple yet nice.

Who would actually think of it. Almost half of Malaysia love Coffee. We can see the rising of coffee shop business in the country. Remember the old time when there is only a kopitiam business. Old table, with old chair, the cup is like antique cup. That the old good day, there have kaya toast bread and perfect spot for breakfast.

However, day have change. There are a lot coffee shop such as old town, papa rich, station 1, starbuck, coffee bean and many more but the thing is the price is like triple from the old day. By making it more high class and make the coffee look interesting but actually is the same. This is the evolution of coffee shop in this country. Although there are still old timer coffee shop in outskirt of the town but only few in town area.

Even so, coffee shop business is a very good good business. Malaysian usually go these place to hang out, have breakfast, chit chat, online, reading book, and many more. If i had the chance i will do my own coffee shop myself. Just wait 1 day of course.

Other products besides coffee.

So here is a few steps i found online doing some research and more if you want to set up your own coffee shop :

Start with a Business Plan for the Coffee House

1. Every new business should consider making a business plan, which is a report that shows everything possible about the planned business, including start up busness financing, and how it will operate.
2. Potential coffee shop business owners can look online, at the library, or at a book vendor for information on making a formal business plan.
3. A business plan includes everything about the business, including location (perhaps the most important decision), city regulations, start-up costs, an advertising plan, hourly cost of doing business (overhead), top income possible (considering customer seating, employees, etc.), and such.
4. A business plan may be necessary for business financing with a bank loan, city approval, etc., as well as acting as a “map” for running the coffee business in the future.

Business Advice from a Coffee House Owner

1. Talk to your city and find out about impact fees, regulations, and permit obligations.
2. Be in love with your product; get the best product you can get.
3. Know your customers; know their wants and needs and the demographics of the clientele you will be serving.
4. Be involved in your community; support the local sports programs with fundraiser advertising, for instance.

I love this design... people really will attract to it.

Other Things to Think About Before Starting One's Own Small Business

1. Owning a business is often more work than it is glamorous.
2. Expect to put in a lot of hours to get a business running, especially in the first year.
3. Consider finances carefully. Permits cost money. Machinery breaks. Employees quit.
4. Most new small businesses fail in the first year. Have a back-up plan or two, especially business financing.
5. Rejoice at small steps like the first dollar earned, the first month making a profit, and the one-hundredth customer. These memories will help get through difficulties.Instant success is rare. Owners need tough skins and a can-do attitude.

This design is Starbuck in USA. Really nice and costly right ? That why their coffee is so expensive but yet people still go there.

So here is the plan i found in the internet. Anyone have more idea can share with me. Or if anyone also have the passion to do this business also can come and share your idea. The more the merrier. That the end of my topic, hope you enjoy.

Good Day. :)
