As a customer in the US, I have 2 needs:

1. Please add British scones, clotted cream, and jam to the menu. Please
2. Don’t use one of those square payment machines where the barista would ask for a 20% tip just to hand me the muffin that’s right in front of me on the counter

Please have real Desi chai. No coffee shop makes it. The whole Desi population cannot live without it. Instant success. Also South Indian coffee.

Guys you are consultants. Low entry barriers, very easy to substitute for the customer, high competitive pressure, good locations Come at outrageous rent, raw material prices exploding. Mass exodus of service workers

I've been researching the future of coffee with climate change in mind (annual yields will be slashed by 50% in 30 years) — and I'm thinking about the future of coffee business models. In the medium term, it's wise that you get ahead of industry on crop diversification, synthetic biotech innovations, and one technique that I'm not sharing here. There's a lot of opportunity to own the literal future of the coffee industry depending on how you move, take risks, and innovate today.

If you want to embrace something buzzy (no pun intended) that'll pay off now instead of in many years, take a look at suppliers who use blockchain for transparent, ethical supply chains. Lots of suppliers claim they're fair trade but don't have receipts; you can give people confidence that they can trust and feel good about your product, and introduce people to expect that level of accountability in the products they consume.

You could use this tech to print a barcode on a coffee cup where you can scan it with your phone to learn more about how the coffee was produced, who made it, whether they were compensated fairly, along with a transparent timeline of the coffee's journey from farm to cup.

Of course, no harm in opening a conventional, innocent street corner coffee shop as well 😂

Feel free to DM me if you have any questions!

Offer high tea with great bite size delicacies. Like scones, puff pastry, cucumber cream sandwich, non American bite size cakes, macaroons etc. You get the point.

My fave spot is Cupital in Chicago area which is an all day lounge. You may want to check out those types of concepts. I actually rarely get coffee there. They have a really unique sweet potato breakfast bowl and I really like the ambiance, which is a major factor in deciding where to go for me.
