    What is the most difficult thing to work at a coffee shop

  30. Café Kiva says

    3 September 2021 at 2:43 pm

    My issue is with low-value overly commercial vendors. Food should be edifying. 'All Natural' must be your baseline. "All Organic and Non-GMO" should be made clear, this is not a sometimes we buy 'local' market-hype affair. Most market centers, (like san fran) couldn't possibly deliver value at prices the average laborer could afford.

    Hi Wilson, been following your channel ever since I start my dessert store in Singapore here this January! Could we hear your opinions on opening a dessert/ bubble tea stall beside or near well established player in a shopping mall. Tia!

    Hello Wilson,
    Thank you once again for another fantastic and inform video. Thank you for also inspiring hope during this time.

    Unfortunately, I missed the free Restaurant Webinar. Is there a link that I can use to watch it?

  38. ????????? ?????? says

    3 September 2021 at 2:43 pm

    Thanks Wilson for a video!

    Can’t decide on a location.
    I stay in Dubai.
    We have a residential area where new buildings are coming up very fast. This area has quite cheap rent… It is quite big as well… there are no walking areas though. Couple of small parks but I can’t say – those get crowded ever. So, any commercial place you look at – does not have a traffic passing by.
    Do you think I can count on word of mouth and on people driving from there buildings for 5-6 minutes to get a coffee at my place? ( no one walks around because of a heat ). These district has one bakery ( they serve coffee but the quality is not good) , one coffee shop inside a hotel and a coffee on a petrol station…

    Maybe there is someone from Dubai here??? Will be happy to get in touch!
    I have one more thought – taking a coffee truck instead ( for a beginning ). Do you think it’s a better idea?

    "The road to success and the road to failure are almost exactly the same."
    — Colin R. Davis. "Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it."
    — Henry David Thoreau. "Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. Don't wish it were easier; wish you were better."
    — Jim Rohn. Hi guys! Let me just share to you a short story. We own a cookie shop business in our college town. When we first started it, we just graduated college and were living in our car with very little direction, just a huge passion to be successful. I started it out of a local bagel shop in their off hours at night with my boyfriend, Bran. It was a crazy experience but it worked! We became a success! And how we have our first storefront location (a second one currently under construction but launching soon!) We started it to fund a year long backpacking trip around the world and to be successful while living the life of our dreams.
