COFFEE TIME READING

TRADITIONAL VS. SPECIALTY COFFEE

For many businesses in the food and beverage industry, their menu is the most important decision that they will ever have to make. Although coffee shops and cafes aren’t the first types of businesses that usually come to mind when we think about the food and beverage industry as a whole, their menu-based decisions are just as important as those of a bistro or a fast-food restaurant. In fact, these menu-based choices that coffee shops and cafes are often faced with have the potential to be far more intricate than anything that a traditional restaurant would have to deal with.

THE RISE OF AUTOMATION IN CAFES

The world that we live in is becoming increasingly fast-paced. As a result, businesses now have to make use of technological advancements to keep up with the shorter attention spans and busier lifestyles of their customers. For many cafes and coffee shops, this means the adoption of Fully Automatic Coffee Machines to help meet these needs.

6 TIPS TO START YOUR CAFE

Many aspiring cafe owners enter the industry as coffee lovers. They think that they know what they need – a VERY good cup of coffee – to run a successful cafe. However, this could be one of their biggest mistakes. They end up focusing only on gourmet coffee and as a result, these businesses struggle to make ends meet or strictly rely on the morning coffee crowd for revenue. While a decent cup of coffee is definitely key in a coffee shop, it alone might not be able to pay the bills.
