[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could you work for a cafe owner first and see how things go[/quote]This is the best advice. Find out what it takes to run a cafe (time, effort, costs), then create a business plan on where to open a cafe.

You can do everything right but the wrong location or catering to the wrong clientele will see you in BK court.

For instance, having a cafe playing Honky Tonk & Country music in a predominately Black  precinct probably isn’t going to do that well. You will need to switch to Jazz or try a more rural area near the tobacco fields and hope enough people show up to keep you in business.

You also have to look at competition. A generic cafe near 10 others means you need something to stand out.

I recommend watching several episodes of Bar Rescue. You will be amazed at how many people opened a bar not knowing what they were getting into. Some of those people aren’t qualified to run a lemonade stand. [/quote]
