Into the book
If you are preparing to open a cafe, remember that well begun is half the battle.
--- p.27

While I was running a cafe, I never saw people come in to drink coffee after seeing the certificate.

--- p.30

I think the best business district is the one you know best.

--- p.34

I think the way to do benchmarking well is not to just take the areas for improvement, but to be able to interpret them in your own style.

--- p.37

Thinking from the customer's perspective and developing a menu that meets their needs and expectations is the key to running a successful café.

--- p.40

What I always like to say is that businesses should first think about what they can help.

--- p.42

If I had to point out one of the most important points when preparing to start a business, it would be that the café space should be made into a space where the operator can be happiest.

--- p.46

Think about what value you can provide through the space called a cafe.
Then, we can create a cafe that is more dense and authentic than a cafe run by young people.

--- p.49

I thought that a café should be a place that produces value by focusing on what it can deliver to customers, rather than just selling coffee or not.

--- p.52

Although individual cafes have higher profit margins, as I mentioned earlier, they have a higher rate of closure within three years than franchises.
You can see that it is more difficult for individual cafes to succeed.

--- p.55

There is a common characteristic that I have discovered while observing the owners of one-person cafes for a long time.
One is that coffee prices cannot be cheap.
Another thing is that you can't just sell coffee.

--- p.56

I think it's good to have a name that's easy to pronounce and that evokes a visual image.
--- p.60

Everything You Need to Know About Starting a Cafe

Meanwhile, 『100 Questions and 100 Answers on Starting a Cafe』 is the first book in the 'Story Dot 100 Questions and 100 Answers' series, which contains 100 questions and 100 answers about what I want to do.
