Don't sale just coffee. Coffee sales alone are not enough to pay the bills. Therefore, encourage your customers to buy more. Make sure you have enough cakes, muffins, cold food, etc, to accompany your coffee, a variety of products to offer. The goal is to increase the number of purchases per client, but you need to wisely choose what you are going to sell, if you make a bad decision or you have too much of one product that is not selling, it will end up in losses.

Customers prefer to ask you what is the best choice, they are usually not food experts that can judge between many products. Make it easy for them and don't give too many options or they will get lost, and also create your pre-made combinations of food and drinks to help them order. Customers are looking for a good coffe or drink and for something to eat, not complicated things, your mission is to deliver it to them.
