How to open a coffee shop? Some suggestions?

First of all, get to know your product, which is the coffee seeds. If you know it well, its properties, types of coffee seeds, ways of preparation, etc. you can be in control and find the right suppliers. You might find a great deal with a coffee provider that will set up all the necessary equipment and preparations for your new shop, but they will also want you to contract their products. Doing so you will be tied up to coffee seeds that they supply to you, with no choice to control its quality or origin. Remember that they are only thinking about making high-profit margins. Therefore they will always provide you with the product they find more convenient for their interests, and you won't even know! Therefore get to know your product well, don't be tied up into any contract, and take the right decisions. After all, coffee is your primary product!

I think the place is significant too. If there is a place, where many people are passing by, there is higher possibility that they will come to your Coffee shop. Of course, the quality of your coffee and other supliment products is essential. As well as your pricing policy. Service and customer care level are essential. If you can make your customers happy, they will return to you and become regular customers.
