tip in starting a successful coffee shop is to know your audience it is crucial for you to understand the profile of your customers so you know what to serve them and you know that they'll like it for sure it is so detrimental to your business if you serve them something that they don't like someone that tailors and enjoys Starbucks Coffee is very very different than someone that enjoys Dunkin Donuts coffee so we need to understand our customer profile in order for us to serve them what they need and this is the reason why your customers will come back to your coffee shop again and again because you serve them exactly what they want second tip in building a successful coffee shop is to leverage your location understanding the components that makes your location unique is crucial as well what are some of the components number one is visibility is your shop visible for drive-by traffic if it's not that means it's a neighborhood environment coffee shop then you need to understand you're doing business for your neighborhood second thing is your community understand what type of community you're serving within your location if the community you're serving is in this high-rise building full of office people then you know exactly the type of clients you're serving and to leverage your location properly so quick grab and go is what you would want to do and the third thing is accessibility is your location accessible by car or by transit or I walk in understanding this allows you to create and garner this experience for your ideal customer by leveraging the type of location that you have so then that way you can always have people coming in to the doors and out the doors all the time third point is to make sure that your interiors and your food is aesthetically pleasing and what I mean by that is because people now eat with their eyes they come in based upon the pictures that they see on Instagram on review sites and if your interiors are not nice it's not pleasing it's not on-brand people would not come and try out your food same thing with your food does not matter what the quality of the food is if it doesn't look good people are not even gonna come in and give your items a try making all your items and your interiors pretty and aesthetically pleasing is your foot in the door that's what wins the first chance give you an example a local mechanic shop recently did a complete facelift they've renovated the whole thing took out all the equipment's and built a cafe inside and within this cafe it was modern it was clean it was aesthetically pleasing on top of that their food looks amazing and that's the reason why they have lineups out the doors every single day although having said that the quality of the food is just met but it is because the feeling that it gives their customers which got them tons of business now that you got your foot in the door and you got this aesthetically pleasing interior and food item the fourth step is to make sure that the quality of your food item is really good getting the foot and the door is only one step the second step to get people to come back again is to make sure the quality of the food is good if the quality is no good and people are not going to come back and at the end of the day you're just going to spend tens of thousands of dollars on renovations and marketing yet people don't like it that's the reason why you need to have good quality food in order for people to come back again and again and in order for you to build a long-term successful coffee shop if you guys

successful coffee shop is to build a community now that we have people coming in again and again we want to turn these regular customers into advocates of you into loyal fans that spreads the word for you to introduce and get people to come in and that's where the community comes in you need to help them feel like they belong in this environment help them feel like that they are one of you guys and that's how you're going to be able to have them as part of your community connect with them build a relationship with them and that's how you're gonna be able to convert regular customers into loyal fans that would always choose you over your competitors the sixth step in a profitable coffee shop is to know your numbers so many restaurant owners go out of business because they don't understand the numbers they don't know what their cost of goods sold are they don't know what the prime costs are they don't know what is the labor costs that's the reason why you need to understand your numbers not only in order for you to actually know which levers to pull in order to change your business to improve your business business but also to know when someone is stealing from you when someone or when operations and systems can be improved upon it is all down to the numbers the seventh tip in building a profitable coffee shop is the average order value a ovie what does it mean means not how much people are paying you per transaction as an example in a coffee shop how many coffees do you need to sell in order for you to make enough profits to pay rent if every coffee you sell makes you 25 cents that's a lot of coffee's we're talking about just in order for you to make rent and that's the reason why a lot of coffee shop owners they have pastry their fruits they have soup their salads all these type of that uplifts the average order value and that is in hopes to get a bigger profit in their pocket so we should always always be looking at ways to increase the average order value in order for us to make a bigger profit the final tip is to diversify it is crucial to diversify and as you can see through this whole pandemic if you only rely on dying in service then unfortunately
